How many triangles can draw 1 VMX unit in Xenon ?

Seems like the problem is that people are used to theoretical specs being something like 5x actual specs (at best).

true.

I guess I should have said single textured vertices per second, with no lighting. I know, vertex shading can involving complex vertex lighting, and that can make a big difference. There is must be a upper polygon limit, but that would vary from game to game/engine to engine/scene to scene, depending on what's being done, and how well the program flow is, etc.

It seems the whole polygon per second rate has become more meaningless than the past, but the rate seems to not matter anymore, when each frame can process millions of polygons per second. Now it all comes down to how well they are used.

By no trivial shaders they seems to mean

However if a dev were to concentrate on visuals with lots of polygons and we were looking at say Xbox level pixel shaders then there is a pretty good chance you could actually hit that setup limit in a real app.

Know we can think if it is the theorical limit, or pratical limit?(from XB)

Anyway if XB360 is 14x more powerfull (in GPU) shouldnt it be able to get more ?

I think i messed up many concepts here: procedural synthesis that involves CPU work to create vertices, "kill" vertices feature of WGF 2.0 mentioned by Megadrive1988 and the concept of geometry shaders that Xenos, as Dave said ( http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23953&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=100 ), won´t have.

You know I was reading this and thought man graphics has come a long way. Heck, even technology as a whole has come so far. Thinking ok from a triangle we can produce something as seen in the 3d technology of today not to mention how fast we are progressing !!!

Hope I live to see the day virtual reality really comes to be

Ok maybe I shouldnt post in forums after taking pain medications for surgery
