could someone please tell me either ps2 or GeForce2/3 GPU more powerful?

How many triangles a ps2 gpu can process within 1 sec? As i know a normal GeForce2 gpu can process 15 - 25 millions of triangles.

Btw, is GeForce2 using hardware to support FSAA? or using software ?

Finally, I MUST say THANX!!!!! to pete and al the others programmers who make the psxemu better and better!!!

And also all the game players who are always reply/provide solutions to others who has problems!

i got it

well, i finally got ti know the answer.

So far, not even a GeForce3 can beat ps2's gpu.

Ps2's gpu can process 75 million polygons/sec.max !!!!!!!

And here is the link for the ps2 specification :

And for the fsaa, some say it is supported by software, but according to NVidia, it's supported by hardware.

yea ps2 gpu is good,but 75 million polygons/sec.max is not true.it just abou 64 million polygons/sec.max,I think geforce 3 is better

If the PS2 doesn't use 4 or 8-bit palette based textures anymore, then when it comes time for someone to write a GPU for an emulator (if that ever happens), the GF2/3 will be very good performance wise.

I just checked the specification of GeForce3 ( Asus one ), according to the spec, GeForce3 can process 35 millions of polygons/sec.

hi nickK, thx for conributing to this great emu scene!

offtopic : anyone here is a soul reaver 2 fan? i could not sleep well while i heard it will be released on November!!!! Imagine about how nice the graphocs can me make me go insane !

PS2 will never be this fast in a game. Cos in games there are textured polygons. This will slowdown the PS2. These 75.000.000 Polygongs/sec. are just theoretical.

I believe that I read somewhere (no exactally sure where), that, performance wize, the GEForce 3 out does even the PS2 processor. That would make the GEForce 3 the "king of the hill" and "top of the line".

Did I hear Soul Reaver 2?
I WANT that game!

 

[Pharmboy]

I heard Soul Reaver 2 will be for the X-Box only...



no, it was a joke, there will be a PS2 and a PC versions.

 

[Zell]

not for long , just buy a geforce 3 and you get something more powerfull than a x-box , even Soul reaver 2 , will be playable on a pc , everything will beplayed on a PC !!

 

[Raziel]

Soul Reaver will be out on PS2 and PC,it's a PS2 exclusive for the console world.

 

[Zell]

According to an article, soul reaver 2 will be released on November,so, for now, im going to replay soul reaver 1 ,if not, i may die or go crazy while i am waiting for the next version...

 

[Pharmboy]

He, Raziel, as tu lu mon precedent post attentivement :

no, it was a joke, there will be a PS2 and a PC versions

2 posts plus tard, tu ecris la meme chose :

Soul Reaver will be out on PS2 and PC

Je savais tres bien qu'il n'y avait pas de version X-Box prévue.

 

[Raziel]

Ah ouais,merde, c t ecris tt petit!

 

[Nezzar]

Aj, ich verstehe

About the PS2 being able to do 75 million polgons is so not true. I think that was without textures or shawdowing or any other special effects which is completly usesless unless you wanna play a game made out of wireframes. Most developers think the PS2 is gonna max out around 10 million polygons, Which isn't bad at all. Just remember what Sony has on paper doesn't mean it's true.

You guys need to check this thread...

Lewpy gives some great insight into the architechture of the ps2 and GF3..

 

[GT-Freak]

Is there a Chance of getting ps2 games running on pc?

oh god, send us an emu for ps2 . wahahah!

and, how to copy, burn, clone, however, ps2 cds?

 

[gerbilcannon]

Well seeing as a number of them will be dvds you will have to have a dvd burning drive if you want access to all the games, but anyhow you should be buying the games. As for a ps2 emu, you'd very likely have to wait a good long while before it could play games much less be viable performance-wise.
