@mogwai_poet Nah, like legit more powerful than a GeForce2 in tons of respects (and with more RAM and memory bandwidth too!) except built with 10-years earlier tech and for the price of a house.

@mogwai_poet except this GeForce2 also always does 4x MSAA because why would you settle for less

@rygorous @mogwai_poet I'm not so sure about that. The paper mentions a peak of 240 Mpx/s, which is almost exactly what a TNT2 could do. A GeForce2 is roughly 4x as fast, in terms of raw throughput. The only thing that sets the RealityEngine apart is the absolutely unhinged memory size and bandwidth, which could afford them things like always-on MSAA, and the extremely overpowered geometry processing stage.
