Unofficially RSX = G80

Well Said!

 

You've been told what it is. Don't be an idiot, too.

 

Oh Yeah,

Then you tell me what G80 is? Since you know!

 

It is a Unified Shader Architecture GPU with several times the number of ALUs compared to the G70 series of cores, with support for GDDR4 memory, a much wider bus, supposrt for geometry shaders, etc... IT IS A NEW PART, losely based on the G70 series. The RSX is a more legacy part that is HEAVILY based on the G70 series.

Satisfied?

 

Did you get that info from Nvidia? If not, then your and answer is just speculation too right? Their site offers no info on the G80. So who told you that? You just pulled together a bunch a ideas of what the next GPU should offer. No hard facts! No Specs! No real info! No Answer!

Want to try again

 

I totally agree Dunchan. Until Sony releases the final specs and delcares, "Here are the absolutely final specifications for the RSX that will be in every single Playstation 3 console...etc.. etc... more specs... etc..." then we do NOT know the truth 100% for certain about the RSX. We have probabilities, but nothing for certain. I think we can safely say that the current RSX is 99.999999% nothing more than a fairly modified and optimized NV47 with perhaps some extra cache, a few extra shader instructions, etc.

However, we do not know what the FINAL RSX will actually be. There is no way for us to know that with any certainty. I think it's probable that it will be the same RSX developers have had all along. But then again, I think there is still a chance (perhaps 10% or so) that it could indeed be something different or a whole new chip.

If people want this issue settled once and for all there is one way for that to happen.

For Sony to give a press release giving the final specifications to the entire world. Now, if they don't know what the final clock speed will be yet they could simply say that they, "are targetting 500MHz but the final frequency is yet to be determined."

Especially if there is NOT going to be a second version of the RSX then they should have no problem doing this.

If you want everyone's curiosity to end, threads like this not to come up, and speculation to end then Sony needs to just give us the final specs.

 

Damn Right!

 

Can i request a lock on the foundation that this thread is giving me brain damage and a pathological disorder keeps me from not clicking on it everytime another totally baseless reply is made? I really think this threads giving me brain damage. SEEEE! IT IS! I'm repeating myself like a nutso!


PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FOR GODS SAKE KILL ITTTTT

 

Hey, mebbe the RSX 2.0 will support DX 9.1.....

 

No, this thread is perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with this thread. The only negative aspects of this thread are certain rude and borderline hateful remarks by certain individuals which I have chosen to overlook and ignore. This is a good thread about a popular subject and if you don't want to participate then your free to post in one of the dozens of other threads on this forum. We would love to have you participate, because your a valued member of this community and obviously have every right to join in the conversation.

But just because you disagree with or dislike the subject matter being discussed is not a justification to call for this thread to be killed. That is disrespectful, because I sincerely hope on this forum threads are not killed because people simply don't like them or disagree with the subjects their about.

Hey, I'm fine with whatever the truth turns out to be. If the RSX is a N47 (what it most probably will be) or something different I'm still excited about the PS3! I don't mind discussing all possibilities and even those that are far fetched, because until Sony officially releases the specs we do not know for certain what the *final* RSX is all about. We know what the *current* RSX is most probably (99.999999%), but there is no way to absolutely predict the future.

I have no problem with you, Dean A, nAo, or others that have been very critical of Nerve Damage, myself, and a few others on this thread. I realize you have a different opinion than myself, and I can live with it. And I don't call for people to be banned, threads to be killed, or insult other users just because I disagree with them.

I want to discuss something on this forum with anyone who cares to discuss it with me, and let others discuss whatever they want to discuss. It's that simple. Everyone has the freedom to simply participate in whatever threads they want or ignore whatever threads they choose.

But please don't call on this thread being locked or killed. That is simply not very polite or respectful at all. Again, I have no problem with any of you despite the heat I have been getting. And I want it to stay that way, because I appreciate this community and everyone in it. But comments to kill this thread or ban certain users are really beginning to frustrate me.

Please, lets all get along and if we don't like certain threads lets all participate in the ones we do find interesting or make new threads about subject matter we wish to discuss. But lets not lock threads because other people have different opinions than ourselves.

 

The only threads I ever asked to have kill/be closed are spambot threads, I don't recall asking mods for help in any regular threads.

No, if I got really sick of this thread and thought it was silly I'd probably do something like this....

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT SHARKS!

My favorite kind has still got to be the goblin shark, I mean how cool is it?

 

Seconded on the notion to lock this on the basis that it's causing brain damage. Where the hell is that beating a dead horse emoticon when you need it?

 

double post

 

this threads about a subject you like, meanwhile 99% of us are flipping sick of it babcat.

Cant you go away and scower the internet for RSX info elseware since you arent going to take the time to learn a damn thing? You're like our own personal version of Faud only you're really boring and you got old fast...oh and you have better spelling.

 

remember that movie that wasnt funny at all with that guy, had the jaguar shark? i really didnt like that movie. ocean aquatic...bleh, terrible

 

Please lock this goddamn thread!

Seriously, I don't understand why the Mods leave threads like this open. It's not even funny anymore. It has gone on too long.

Threads about moronic conjecture and hope triumphing over reason have no place a B3D.

 

If you give credibility to rumors, you're feuling the fire for more people to continue to post far-fetched rumors. Next, someone will post something about the Wii GPU being upgraded in the last minute too. Are we going to get another 200 posts to respond to it? That sure will make the rumor starter happy and encourage him to continue to do it. Maybe someone else will post that MS will release a HD-DVD version of the 360? Another 200 reponses? I don't run this site so I'm not going to say what threads should or should not be locked, but if Beyond3D starts to get too many rumor threads and more than half turn out to be false, it'll lose a lot of credibility with me. That's why I give zero credence to rumors and will just stick with discussing announced material. Just my opinion.
