Xbox360 Rubi Demo: Pushing a Million Polygons

Xbox360: Pushing a Million Polygons

By: Bryan Blunt

During the most recent Rubi demo held by ATI we got a chance to see some true potential. These screenshots were rendered at 720p. The demo leader said that the Rubi model was redered with 70,000 polygons while some of it's elements were pushing up to 120,000 poly's per character. The grand fanale was absolutely surreal and it rendered 1,000,000 poygons per scene according to the narrator!!!

The demo leader also proclamed that the graphics card in the Xbox 360 was noticeably more powerful than the upcoming R5XX series. This power cannot be matched by ANY PC on the market today, but by year end ATI said it would be possible for the PC's to start catching up.

These shots only begin to describe the crisp detail of the scenes. We have NEVER been treated to a display like this, it was truly the first XBOX 360 demo that showed the true power of the machine.

PS3 still in preproduction. You won't hear too much more news from them until Xbxo 360 is already in the MFR process.
