Re: Xboxes vid card
Posted By: Ferrex (Microserf)Date: 9/28/01 12:35 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Xboxes vid card (Hethal)

: XBox = Good
: PC w/GeForce3 = Good

: The difference in the long run will not be huge. I'm sticking with the PC,
: but that's just because I already have one, and I'm a maniac.

XBox = Good, with very little OS overhead (Ring 0) and highly optimizable code.

PC w/GeForce3 = Good, but with a significant OS overhead, and any code written for the PC has to be written to be compatible with dozens of video cards and hundreds of hardware configs.

There will be a significant performance gap, especially at first.
