Trust you. Now, where's the video?

Going by what we already have, a game made around a GTX 580 would easily look like that.

Hey, my dual core CPU can run Windows 7 and DX11 games. At least give me a couple years and an awesome sub-$150 quad CPU before you cut me out of that. ;_;Binabik15 said:The day devs cut off DX9 and non-quad core cpus shall be glorious.

Oh shush with your logic!CliffyB said:Putting a video out during gdc would be silly. We want people to come see it in person first at gdc.
The first part is mostly right. The second part is terribly wrong. The iPad 2 GPU is considerably more powerful than the iPad 1. By over a factor of 4. (But the iPad 1 GPU wasn't that bleeding edge when it came out, though).szaromir said:Jobs said "up to 9 more powerful". Which in consumer language means "one feature will run 9x faster, the rest maybe 20% faster".
Do you believe this will be possible? (at least for 2012/2013).camineet said:Cannot wait! Bring on next-gen console GPUs with the power of 3 GTX 580s.
I've only seen PR talk. Are there spec sheets for both GPUs on the Inet?Lonely1 said:The first part is mostly right. The second part is terribly wrong.

Or it could just as easily create greater buzz and discussion which would send more people booth bound to see it for themselves in real time...CliffyB said:Putting a video out during gdc would be silly. We want people to come see it in person first at gdc.
No. Too soon for a single GPU that poweful while still being lower power and cheap enough for a mass market console. 3 x GTX 580 is a ridiculously powerful and power hungry entity.Lonely1 said:Do you believe this will be possible? (at least for 2012/2013).
Is common sense. The 540 was considerably faster (yes, in the Real world) than the 535 used in the iPad 1. The 543 is a step up from that, and the iPad 2 has 2 of those.szaromir said:I've only seen PR talk. Are there spec sheets for both GPUs on the Inet?

It absolutely does have 9x the gigaflops of the previous ipad. Of course, bottlenecks elsewhere will prevent a linear scaling of performance but we're still looking at a 4x increase in real world performance as a conservative estimate.szaromir said:I can't believe Rein believes iPad2 will have GPU 9 times morepowerful than iPad1.

What's the theoretical Fill-rate on the SGX 543MP2? Wiki said that the 535 is 1000@200MHz but other sources say 250M@200Mhz.brain_stew said:It absolutely does have 9x the gigaflops of the previous ipad.

The problem with Mass Effect games was never hair or lack of tesselation. It was texture quality.Lucius86 said:I said wow.
Can we PLEASE have decent hair and tesselation in Mass Effect 3? I will upgrade my 4870 for that.
Download the UDK (udk.com) and try to play last year's GDC demo map. Let us know how the framerate goes!AlStrong said:How about a standalone benchmark, "Is your computer Epic enough!" ;_;

I don't quite think you understand how powerful 3x GTX580s are.low-G said:Gosh I hope the next generation consoles have the graphical capabilities of at least 3 GTX580s. They're probably still a few years off.

Which doesn't look like the case.

I can imagine. How much time went into creating this demo?CliffyB said:Screens do not do it justice. It needs to be seen in motion. Trust me.
AndyD said:Ditto. Seems like more of the same old. Potential shown but unlikely to be realized except by 1-2 developers.

Majanew said:3 GTX 580's? Blah! Just throw two ATi 5970's in a case and have yourself a quad.
HomerSimpson-Man said:Depends how many years you're talking about.
It's been nearly a years time and the GTX480 that still goes from $400-500. That card is still ridiculously powerful.
The final GPU in the PS3 didn't even match the raw horsepower that the original PS3 devkit 6800 SLI set-up originally was.
I no doubt we will have a single card solution to match triple SLI 580 eventually and even then just like the cards before it, will be highend prices.
The 580 is already a generations apart from the PS3/360.
Even though I don't know too much about pc hardware, imo a console released in 2013 with the performance of a single 580 should be fine and work very well in a closed environment with a specialised first party engine.AndyD said:Right, I imagine consoles in 2012 might come with a 580 type chip, but if they come in 2013, then whatever is next type is likely.
20x honestly sounds low.TheExodu5 said:3x GTX 580 is about 20x the GPU power of current consoles, FYI. Such a system also takes over a kilowatt to run.
