AMD Graphics Chip More Powerful Than Every Game Console Combined!
Brought this piece of news over from Xbox360-hacks thought you guys may find it interesting.
AMD has invested heavily into hyperbole research, proudly proclaiming that its new graphics chip, the RV770, is “more powerful than every generation of video game console ever brought to market combined.” The RV770, demoed Monday, is capable of processing one trillion floating operations per second on a single chip, a feat that AMD says “punches a sizeable hole in the sensory barrier.”
If the specs and information on this chip are correct? The next gaming console will have graphics that will look like you just transitioned from a Dreamcast console to the Xbox 360… It is a very powerful chip, with close to real looking graphics. We all await the details!

bs card uses rumour control
it's super effective!
I can see this happening, but at this point, I don't think it will preform wuite as well as AMD wll have us believe. Besides, when the PS3 was released, it took developers a while to use the PS3's hardware properly to make good games. I think if this chip gets released, we will see the same time period of waiting before games get good.
Also, it would be harder for all 3 big companies to keep prices down

demands are at a very high rate right now. Prices will increase no matter what. Remember when the PS3 was 599.99? People still bought it
