    Default 3DS GPU specs released

    http://prw.kyodonews.jp/open/release.do?r=201006189844



    The 3DS seems to use DMP's PICA200 GPU.

    The specs released are very limited so I am unsure how to judge the full power of the GPU.

    It seems like in some areas it will be stronger than the Wii but in other it will be weaker.

    The polygon count is not as high but some of the newer features will give it more polish.

    A GPU demo (not exactly a way to compare the 3DS performance).

    I just hope it doesn't cost more than $200.

    At most it will probably cost between 200-250 USD.

    Which is ok for me since the PSP was just as expensive.

    It took me 5 mins to realize this was about the NDS.
    I feel stupid now.

    Doesn't look too bad as of now, but let's see what the full specs bring.

    It was the 3DS part I got messed up. I'm not sure with what exactly, but something yelled to me about a GPU/game manufacturer back in the 90s.

    3dfx?

    They were well known for their Voodoo card line up in the 1990s.

    Probably that, but I keep seeing flashbacks to some 2d game I can't remember the name of.

    /shrug
    Not that important anyways, so let us drop that here.

    Sorry for the offtopic. :/

    Thedudesam this is more of a DS 2 rather than just in a different shape.

    For a handheld I think it looks really nice espically how it's in 3D and can play movies.

    Aslong as you don't have to wear ******ed glasses to use it, i can see it being decent providing it isn't like over £150.

    It would've been a win for nvidia, had they gotten Nintendo to go with their Tegra or Tegra 2 chip.

    It's more of a question of keeping the price down and the supply satiating the market.

    The chipset is clearly not ready for that.
