- This article is about the graphics chip. For other uses of RSX, see RSX (disambiguation).
The RSX Graphics processing unit is a graphics chip design co-developed by NVIDIA and Sony for PlayStation 3 computer console.
Technical Details
- Clocked at 550MHz
- 1.8 TFLOPS (trillion floating point operations per second).
- Multi-way programmable parallel floating point shader pipelines
- 136 shader operations per clock. It should be noted that will contain only 8 ROPs as opposed to G70 , that contains 16 ROPs.
- Transistor count of 300.2 milllion transistors
- 74.8 billion shader operations per second
- 33 billion dot products per second
- 128-bit pixel precision offers rendering of scenes with high dynamic range imaging
- 128-bit memory bus width , as opposed to G70 with a 256-bit bus width
- S3TC [1]
- 1.1 Billion Vertices per second. (Possibly around 366 Million Polygons (Triangles) per second)
