Ram Doesn't matter in the PS3 because the way the Cell Processor works it can reserve a core thread to operate as memory.

They are really nice cards, IMO the best 460's on the market; even an xtreme burn-in test in Furmark over an hour can't push them over 70°C (unless of course they're choked by another add-in card like my second now is.)
The only way temps can drop even further is having them water cooled, similar to the Noctua NH-D14 -

I have faith that Yoshi-P will untie the knot holding back the non-copypasta terrain from PS3.

Don't tell me we are at PS3 limitations already, I had enough of PS2 limitations on FFXI ><

I can't wait for them not to implement next-gen tesselation technologies because most of this game's subscribers will be on the PS3! =D

The sad fact is that they'd have had more subscribers if the game actually ran well on most systems even at the lowest possible settings.
As someone said before: This game runs as fast as PS2 emulation. -

Though they might have to settle for lower res textures to do so. Having two sets of textures (one low, one high) would not be too difficult to manage.Quote:

I know there is sarcasm here, but the game does look pretty good without tesselation + even my rig chugs when running a demo with that feature.Quote:
