New ATi 3D Chip

Posted by Hemos on from the fun-with-new-chips dept.

Cooper writes "Saw a piece on Sharky Extreme about a new ATI chip dubbed the Rage 6, which they say is going to be used on Microsoft's x-box as well as for PCs. It's got an on-board geometry processor like the NVIDIA GeForce. " Wow. 2 gigapixels per second? Wow. The graphics market is starting to really heat up - check the earlier story about the Voodoo 4 &5.

    I call it the Eyeball(tm) and I've patented it and GPLed it. It can do over 3 quadrillion equivalent pixels (I say 'equivalent' because it deals in quantum elements, of which there are an uncountable number in a pixel) per millisecond and when combined with another Eyeball(tm) in a dual setup, can actually create realistic stereovisual effects. It can take input from the real world and give it to you in astonishing 3D quality, and with the new additions 'LSD', 'X' and 'Louisville Slugger', you can make it generate colors you may never have seen before. Unfortunately, such advanced technology comes at a price. The incredibly complex nature of the Eyeball(tm) is such that it requires a proprietary socket, the EyeSocket(tm) to interface with your system properly, and of course you'll need a brain (we realize that this excludes a vast majority of the world's game players, but the ones who do have one will greatly appreciate this invention).

    Don't settle for wussy video cards that are limited to only 'pixels' and may or may not be out after Christmas. Use the Eyeball(tm) (or two) and enjoy true reality .. TODAY!

    (please note that overclocking the Eyeball(tm) or removing the Eyeball(tm) from the EyeSocket(tm) in any way voids the warranty and may damage said Eyeball(tm))
