Doom 3 on xbox runs at 480i the standard console definition while tengra runs at 720p of resolution according to Nvidia. Doom 3 textures are designed better but if you look at them closely their resolution appers to be lower than the one on church's pillars for example, design is what makes games look good much more than hardware, the church is a pretty simple enviroment they haven't spent much time on its design. |
Well the Doom 3 I was talking about was the Xbox version, a machine that came out in 2001 and has a GPU equivalent of GeForce 3 (or one of the GF4 models).
You are wrong about tech demos, in general tech demos actually are awesome looking while usually the actual games on the same hardware look worse. I've seen this so many times with ATI and Nvidia cards etc.
Also you can make specific arguments about this particuar Tegra tech demo, that it takes place in a tiny room with just a few character models running around. That doesn't stress hardware like your typical game does.
I believe this tech demo could be run on an Xbox or Wii.
