It surely can't be running at the same quality as the PC demo, or the Nextbox would be more expensive than a PS3 was at launch.

Still, nice to see that the next gen of consoles might be able handle something approaching PC quality tech.


are you clueless?
at launch consoles usually are the latest and greatest tech wise, there will be little distinction between the 2. and then even so when next gen does come out games will be made for console and ported to PC ( kinda like now but more frequent) so it again won't look much differnt

Haha.

Oh, you're serious, let me laugh even more. 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

While his post is pretty funny Xbox 1 and 2 were mid to high tier spec wise when they came out in terms of GPU. The Xenos used in the 360 was a hybrid of X1800/1850 and later to be introduced X1900/1950. 

Are you really trying to tell me that the x1800/x1900 hybrid gpu was as powerful as a high end nvidia geforce 7 series in SLI? Really?

As cool as SLI and crossfire are, it really isn't a benchmark of technology sophistication, efficiency or GPU power. Single GPU's is where its at for the latest and greatest...and SLi is just adding more of the same tech in to a GPU processing array. I'm surprised you didn't mention Quad SLI vs X1900/1950 which was also possible at the time using the 7900GTX2.

Bottom line is that Xbox 360 stuck the best GPU they possibly could in 2005 when it was released. X1900/1950 run curcles around 7800GTX and trade blows with the 7900GTX which came out 9 months later.

It would be the equivalent of putting a GTX680 in to xbox 720 today.
