RSX not ready say Nvidia

[Joe]

The RSX the graphics unit for the PS3 is still under development this may cause problem for sony in the future especially to keep up production level to an sufficient level to allow for the speculated spring 2006 launch of the PS3

The RSX will be Nvidia designed but Sony manufactured

"No silicon available yet for the chip that will power PlayStation 3's graphics"

"E3's tech demos being run on a different NVIDIA chipset."

"The tech demos shown off at E3, then, were all run on a different piece of hardware - a forthcoming desktop PC chip"

interesting especially since the amazing killzone footage was taken from a future PC chip <makes the warm fuzzies appear in ma belly>

Here's a great bit of gossip from Bit-tech about the RSX from nvidia.

Apparently it will be using different silicone to that which has been posited for the next gen nvidia cards and indeed it it rumoured it will be faster and more efficient (I've seen more info but can't find the link). I think that nvidia are keeping the power of the new RSX under wraps and just releasing the new desktop GPU's as previously posted....but that's IMO.

Burkett discussed how NVIDIA and Sony had used an upcoming product with many similar capabilities to the RSX to demonstrate the capabilities of the Playstation 3 GPU. The demos at the show were running on NVIDIA's upcoming high-end desktop part, and also SLI systems. It is unclear whether these were based on the new desktop part that we've referred to as G70 in the past, or whether they were GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI combinations.

So, if NVIDIA's upcoming part is capable of all that we saw demonstrated at the press conference, what is RSX capable of?
