But the GPU in the X360 is almost as powerful as a Radeon X1800XT which came out around the same time as the X360 in Nov 2005. It certainly was a high-end GPU back then.

Not that I believe in Disolitude's idea, just saying.

Just going on power consumption, they can't put today's high-end GPUs in consoles. The Xbox 360 consumes 190W, max. A single 5870 would blow that budget away. They couldn't fit two high-end cards in, and there would be no point in fitting two midrange cards due to the scaling.


I agree that having dual GPU in a single console is not an option due to heat, power consumption...etc. However don't you think having 2 consoles connected in a way where they can share the GPU workload could provide some benefits?

You are thinking about it form a PC perspective...and yeah it doesn't make sense for console.

I just find the idea that Polyphony digital implemented with GT5 and 4 PS3s really fascinating. I believe that king od tech should be released for developers to take advantage of...
