Unreal Engine 3 probably running on Xenon already

So this means that a NV50 will be 4 times as powerful as a NV40? Same for R420/R500?? Nice...

 

Xenon should run it at 60fps with more geometry to boot.

 

Well, 25-30 is as fast as Farcry at max settings on most cards out now...

 

People need to stop saying "X" hardware will run at 60 fps all the time. Just about any hardware rleased over the past 15 years can do 60fps if you really want it to. The reason they don't is because they push it to hard. If xbox 2 can push 60fps with mor egeometry and textures, then some developers will push it beyond that and it will run at 30 in some games.

 

Itagaki said he'd quit if his games didn't run 60fps most of the time

 

It's that "most of the time" that worries me...

 

well, let's take ninja gaiden. The only time I ever noticed a slow down was whenever I did one of those sword specials (that absorb the essence) and then I go on to chop ~15-20 bats at the same time That's a lot of freakin blood!!!!!!!! (there's more blood than a bat will ever have, that's for sure )

DOA3... only slowdown I noticed was when I hit the guy through the glass and he goes through the street light sign thing (lots of sparks and stuff).

DOAXBV.....well... um... I'm not exactly paying attention to the framerate at this point.

 

The game can get really intense...

I only once noticed slowdown in the game once, when you smash really hard and there's a lot going on (all characters making complex moves, lot's of sand moving, background rendering).

 

Okay I am getting confused here( I get that way othen on this forum ) So what you guys are saying that the Xenon will be at least 4 times as powerful as the latest PC is today?

 

Yes they are.
BTW that it is what ATI expect whit Fast 14....

 

blast from the past... whooo...EEeee!

*wonders what characters of DOA will look like next gen*

and... Itagaki says he favours using polygon's etc wisely than going up to HDTV res or using AA. hm.......wonder if he'll even go to 720p next gen unless it's something that's forced....

 

Next gen at 480p would be kinda lame. :?

 

yeah it would be... but probably over 75% of current xbox owners can only do 480i

 

67% of all statistics are incorrect.

 

I wonder....

 

No wait... that's not right ah well never mind
