From Wired :

As seen above (and in all the images here), the 360's graphics processor uses 4X anti-aliasing to smooth out the jagged, stair-step edges that plague older platforms. Each frame is scrubbed four times to erase jaggies, and PGR3 still runs at 60 frames per second - twice the rate of TV.

Can we get Wired as a reliable source? It's the first time I've read this, expecially regarding 60fps... I thought it was 30fps at this point...

It's probably from that crap new Wired gaming blog

 

[Flo_Evans]

umm I don't think you can use that as a source... they don't even know what 4xAA means, and 60fps is not twice the rate of TV... :lol

Infact I was wondering if they know what they're talking about :lol

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Wired eyes are apparently 120FPS.

 

[Gek54]

"twice the rate of TV" ?!?!?!?!

 

[Wario64]

sorry, style begins at 30 FPS

not at 60 FPS

*shakes fist*

DAMN YOU SCOTT TAAAAAAAAVES!!!

I like how the article is titled "Test-Driving Xbox 360" and then not being about Test Drive.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Well, the hardware is certainly capable of it...

 

[mrklaw]

probably nonsense, but who knows yet.

As for 'twice the rate of TV', I'll have a go (love a good argument)

TV is 480i/60. updated 60 times a second, but it takes a full 1/30 to build up a 480 line image. So in theory a game updating the full image in 1/60 second is twice as fast.

Alternatively, it is delivering twice as much in the same time.

What about HDTVs? Don't they do 60x a second fresh rate?

 

[p01ar]

All I think that they mean is the TV is 29 FPS. So yeah they pretty much don't know what they are talking about.

Which still goes against what the developers told us (30fps).

Who is "us"?

 

[dorio]

Screw 60 fps, I want to know if they are using 4X AA.

I think they're talking about TV shows... I've read somewhere they're broadcasted at 25 of 30 fps, is it right?

 

[VictimOfGrief]

They probably mean 60Hz those fucktards.

 

[The Faceless Master]

damn, i was gonna preorder today if the 60fps was true...

 

[crunker99]

ntsc is 29.97 fps

 

[p01ar]

ntsc is 29.97 fps

Yep, depending if it's drop or non-drop frame.

 

[momolicious]

why does style have to begin at 30 fps? style needs to start beginning at 60fps!

 

[Minotauro]

damn, i was gonna preorder today if the 60fps was true...

You suck. Find a new hobby.

 

[op_ivy]

damn, i was gonna preorder today if the 60fps was true...

i hope this post was in jest...
