#3503436 - 01/25/12 12:24 PM Next-gen Xbox promises six times the power
Top Gun Veteran Registered: 01/07/01 Posts: 15661 Loc: Roch-Vegas NH	New Xbox 720 Quote: In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20 percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U. Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system's final configuration in August and the new console will hit shelves in late October or early November of next year. Projected pricing for the system was not provided. _________________________ XboxLive Tag: DOBrienTG1969 Dave O'Brien, Top Gun Photography Nikon D200x2 Nikkor 70-200VR AF-s F/2.8 Sigma 50-500 & 17-50 F2.8

jt_medina Member Registered: 07/06/05 Posts: 872 Loc: Destination Unknown...	http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-01-25-next-xbox-gpu-based-on-50-radeon-hd-6670-card-report The rumor is Apparently MS will opt for a HD 6000 series... Quote: Digital Foundry editor Richard Leadbetter has offered his thoughts on Microsoft possibly opting for a Radeon HD 6670-like GPU in the next Xbox. Quote: By PC standards, the Radeon HD 6670 is an unremarkable, entry-level enthusiast product aimed more towards the home cinema PC audience. It struggles to run Battlefield 3 at 20 frames-per-second on high settings at 1080p, and could maybe hit 30FPS in Crysis 2 at the same resolution. At this point I don't know what to think. Let's see if MS release the final hardware spec. An important feature that next gen consoles should have is to be able to run games at full 1080p which in my opinion that already is the standard on PC. _________________________ Ignorance is the worlds greatest threat

Wii U is supposed to run its games at 1080p so if the xbox 720 can deliver same graphics at the same resolution, I think It'd be good enough. _________________________ Ignorance is the worlds greatest threat

Top Gun Veteran Registered: 01/07/01 Posts: 15661 Loc: Roch-Vegas NH	well that will kill most people from picking that up I would assume? If the 360 can play the original Xbox, makes no sense not to allow 720 to run 360 games.

Master meh Hotshot Registered: 07/12/04 Posts: 6028 Loc: NW Alabama, USA	If it wont play used games then they can go ** themselves. I almost never buy used games but I do let friends borrow games and borrow games from friends. Also if you want to go to a friends house and play your game you are SOL. _________________________ sigh** http://agw.bombs-away.net RoF: =AGW= Master

ForSquirrels Hotshot Registered: 06/19/01 Posts: 9765 Loc: Hokie Nation	Unless they make you register a game to play it how can it tell a disc that you own and use vs a disc you get somewhere else? And if they do that what about places with no internet... no xbox? Also, is it confirmed that they are calling it the 720? That name is terrible. _________________________ "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

Master meh Hotshot Registered: 07/12/04 Posts: 6028 Loc: NW Alabama, USA	It could be as simple as leaving one sector on the disk writable and then the xbox encodes the disk the first time you play it. "Would you like to register this disk to this xbox?" If yes it writes the final sector on the disk. If no then it ejects the disk and wont let you play. _________________________ *sigh* http://agw.bombs-away.net RoF: =AGW= Master

Cold_Gambler Member Registered: 05/25/07 Posts: 552	The article does state that there will be 2 versions, a "pared down" and a more advanced version. I'd expect (hope) the 6670, assuming the rumor is correct, is for the pared down one. _________________________ Asus P8P67 Pro Rev. 3.0 i5 2500k (OC to 4.3 GHz) AMD 6970 8 GB DDR3 Win7 home 64 bit 450 GB VelociRaptor "I wanted verisimilitude on par with the real deal to get the sense of immersion that only the best faked reality can bring."
