My guy, you are stupid as hell! Nah, I'm just playin with you, lol, It sounds like you know what you are talking about, Nice read :)

i wonder why that is a nagging question...

@ Sidherich,

Nice read. Let me quote you in a couple of things:

"actually phils math was already off when he said that a 1080p frame is 8mb in video memory. "

Phil got pwned big time! Lying and changing facts like we know from Sony. Their calculations with TFLOPS for example... And not giving the RSX specs: still calculating on it guys?

"There are however a few things you do that are more expensive in terms of memory bandwidth.
alpha/depth/stencil or Anti-Aliasing (more samples that need to be blended into one final fragment). these computations are done on the 265GB memory line between GPU and eDram thus relieving the main memory bandwidth."

Now there you see why the 10 MB embedded extra fast Ram comes in use. And why the 360 can do some of these things for 'free' without the main memory bandwith suffering from it all. That's also why the 360 with it's GPU has a main advantage over the RSX

@ DJ So finally confinced of the great power of the 360 GPU?

They fumble on the 2 yard live. Folks Sony has blow it.

a question, some body help me out.whats the differance, sony says there GAMES ARE BUILT using 1080p right, MS says there system will ouput at 1080p throught a software update an all games will run 1080p.so does sony have to build 1080p games an MS give 1080p games at will just from system power!!

judging by recent specs the RXS is more on par with 7600GT.#1 The ps3 gpu has 24 pixel pipes 8 vertex pipes
The 360 gpu has 48 unified pipelines (its an early r600 variant of ati's unreleased gpu) that accept BOTH pixel and vertex shaders. In vertex heavy situations the 360 gpu is literally 6 times faster than any current gpu released (all gpus right now have at max 8 vertex shader pipes) Most games though are more pixel shader heavy as opposed to vertex, but there are many uses for all that vertex power. You are basically looking at 24 more shader units that can do pixel shading and 40 more shader units that can do vertex shading

#2 The ps3 gpu use to have 48GB/s of memory bandwidth (25.6GB/s coming from the 256MB XDR ram) The ps3 now has a total of 46.4GB/s of video memory bandwidth.
On just the 360 gpu's daughter die the 360 has 256GB/s of video memory bandwidth (ati and ms wanted to eliminate memory bandwidth as a bottleneck) as you can see that number there is more than 5 times what the ps3 gpu has or any current gpu released has thanks to the NEC super memory 10MB EDRAM chip. This isn't even counting the extra memory bandwidth the 360 gpu gets from its 256MB of GDDR3 ram which gives it 22.4GB/s more memory bandwidth.

#3 The fillrate for the rsx is around 10.3Gigapixels per second (may be less now due to downgrade and the fact that they say its on par with the 7600, but i'll leave it at 10.3Gigapixels per second)
The 360 gpu with 4XMSAA is 16Gigapixels per second and thanks to unified shader architecture and all that memory bandwidth the 360 gpu can achieve that 16gigapixels a second and sustain no current gpu or the rsx is efficient enough to do that its at best 75% efficient (and that is best case scenario) According to ati the 360 gpu is 95-99% efficient with 4XAA enabled.

Even at the targeted specs the 360's gpu was the clear winner, but now with the downgrade its as if the 360 gpu got an upgrade because its now was practically given more advantages over the ps3 gpu. This by no means... means some ps3 games can't look better than 360 games it all comes down to the developer when its all said and done, but the more

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
