and why talok about PS3 when we have a much better console near like xbox 360?

Thats your personal opinion and not what the thread is about. I personally might get one of these actually. Dunno yet, will have to read some reviews on all consoles coming out (Y)

The PS3 looks very capable, I will most probably get an Xbox 2 though;

Either way, many developer's i have spoken with have said that they are now so close that most content can work on both system's just as well (i.e polycount's, texture sizes etc) therefore, its going to be a case of which you prefer using i guess.

neufuse: I can tell you, as a games artist that those are entirely possible on current generation system's.

the thing is that, these are er... benchmark type scene's, you would be limited to a level about the size of a room if you were to cram that much detail into it, i know for a fact the xbox 1 can handle a small scene of that quality.

All it is is a good lighting engine combined with either realtime reflectivity or a cubemap, and highish polygon models coupled with a normal map for that extra bit of detail.

of course, as said before it would only wor on a very small scene otherwise it would start killing your framerate.. and it would be already anyway;

so yeah, impractical but possible.

Yeah i hate the fact that other people are going to come in here and say the PS3 is crap and so on... Dont come in here. We are fans of the playstation so dont like it go away!

Not sure if this is official but heres the specs

*Cellular Processors - powerPC

*8 APUs - Vectorial Processors each with 128K memory

*System will run at 4GHZ or 256Gflops

*1024 Bit switched front side bus

*64MB of switching memory

Yeah these are the kinda specs I'm reading about too..nothing concrete as of yet...the only difference is one site is suggesting there are 4 of these CELL processors in the system with 64Mb of RAM for each Processor (256Mb total)..I mentioned this in another thread but it seems the general consensus is there is only one 1 processor...and it was suggested that the speed of each of the processors was in excess of 4Ghz...anyway I'm happy to go with the idea that it is generally beleived there is only going tobe 1 CELL in the PS3 just wanted to bring this to light as another possiblity to what we might see.

Please note this information is based from a site that is not offically endorced or supported by Sony and I am in no way trying to pass this off as fact, just wanted to say that to make it clear for the guys that might flame me for not getting my facts straight...cause they arn't facts...just ponderings!

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
