But it doesn't have to have a nVidia GPU to be BC, the chip was mainly Sony's design so an emulator could be made the problem comes in how much nVidia code is in the chip. And what games use it.

Huh? The rsx is a 100% NVidia GeForce7800 chip. Sony paid NVidia $20mio for the changes required for the PS3 (replacing the dram interface to XDR drams, and removing the unneeded video circuitry) and to get a new GPU chip out in time (after their own graphic solution fell through).

I heard it was partially Sony's creation. So it was probally bad information.
