ATI or NVIDIA graphic chip for XBOX 720??

Am no PC or Tech freak so i don't know much about game Hardwares.
From little i know:
NVIDIA GPU served the original XBOX well but it was not well utilized & was unsuccessfully compared to the PS2.
ATI GPU was introduced to the XBOX 360 because of the unsuccessful NVIDIA(not realy sure why).ATI has done a realy nice job for the XBOX 360 providing the console with the most unique GPU features out of all the current consoles. Since Microsoft didn't own full right to the NVIDIA gpu so a hardware EMULATOR for the original XBOX was not implemented on the XBOX 360 instead a software EMULATOR was implemented by the help of the ATI gpu.

ATI seems to have benefited the XBOX 360 very well but currently both
NVIDIA & ATI seems to released various powerful GPU series for the PC & there are still future GPUs series in development within the 2 companies.

So between NVIDIA & ATI which and why do you think microsoft will go for.
YOUR REASON.

Seems like this doesn't belong in the system wars but 360 forums.

But ATI FTW!

ATI is usually cheaper whoever gets their console going first will likely go with ATI

Nvidia will back the other one

but the GPU maker won't determine the power, but I'd love to see a console with Fermi

Ironically, ATI cards are known for running safe at high temperatures, yet the 360 had such a high failure rate.

Exactly. :P If the Xbox 360 was equipped with an Nvidia card...

ATI if AMD made any money from the chip they sold last time... if AMD did not make enough money from the deal then AMD will try to sell them a combo AMD CPU with an ATI GPU.

Don't forget Intel, or Microsoft could make their own GPU with a small company that way they could come out with their own Zune, Zune pad... GPU chips.

MS had a terrible experience with Intel and Nvidia with the original Xbox so AMD/ATI win by default. and anyway, early rumors state that AMD won the contract to make the GPU for the NEXTbox.

Having owned numerous cards from both.. I gotta say I enjoy nvidia more.

But between NVIDIA & ATI which is more powerful for rendering highest graphics setting for games like CRYSIS & METRO 2033 without much drop in framerate.monkeysmoke

Depends on the card model. Nvidia are back on top with the GTX480 I believe, but ATI have their 6xxx series cooking. :twisted:

fermi was designed for gamers that take part in CUDA operations (folding@home, SETI@home, etc.). that's why it's the only video card designed with ECC memory. unfortunately, the design was too ambitious and NVidia fell behind. the GTX480 and below came to market below the original specs that nvidia wanted with a TDP much higher than expected. the TDP is the biggest reason an actual fermi chip will not show up in any console next gen. there may be a derivation based on a lower speced chip (the 460 for instance) but the 470 and 480 are too inefficient in power management and thermal dissipation.

edit:

if i'm not mistaken, i think sony will be going with a powervr chip in the ps4 and nintendo "may" continue with AMD next gen.

dont really care. but for pc i always prefer nvidia cards, i hate ati.

I really doubt MS would team up with Nvidia again. They got a really great chip from ATI, and it's served them well.

After the job nVidia pulled with the GPUs for the original Xbox, I doubt Microsoft will ever rely on them as a chip designer/supplier again.

If it comes down to ATI DX11 GPU vs NVIDIA DX11 GPU ............ you have to go with NVIDIA. Nonstop-Madness

I think ATI should be used in the PS4, Xbox 3, and Nintendo *insert name here*. Of course, I'm kind of bias towards ATi and AMD so don't listen to me too much.

ATI if AMD made any money from the chip they sold last time... if AMD did not make enough money from the deal then AMD will try to sell them a combo AMD CPU with an ATI GPU.

Unless I'm mistaken, (and potentially thinking of Intel) I have the feeling that MS said they'd never have another contract with NVidia due to some issues they had with the original XBox

pretty sure Nvidia screwed up last generation. costing both companies money loss.

they've had more luck with ATI/AMD with the 360. they're probably locked in by now.

which is a good choice, ATI seems like the better 'character' these days.

ATI because they are always a step ahead of Nvidia and thier GPU's arn't power hogs.... Plus we can hope for Backwards Compat!

Hopefully they'll use AMD Fusion (CPU and GPU on the same chip, kinda like the chip in the Slim, but more advanced :) )

Well if I had to pick it would be Nvidia. Nvidia has always been better than ATI for the most part.

ATI graphics cards are better than nvidia.
