Xbox 360 Graphics Quality Raised by New Tech
Sony didn’t take this lying down though, and created a new effect – dubbed MLAA – that used five of the PlayStation 3 SPUs to produce far superior results to traditional MSAA techniques in minimising “jaggies” and creating a smoother overall image. Debuted with God of War III, MLAA has since come to be a regular feature of both first and third party PS3 games.
It was, seemingly, an effect the Xbox 360′s CPU couldn’t match – but now a team of two developers have got it working on not only the 360 but also PC by using the GPU to achieve the MLAA – and they believe their implementation is superior.
MLAA is considered highly demanding, taking 3-4ms to render on the PS3 while using five SPUS, but Jorge Jimenez and Jose I. Echevarria say their 360 version is faster: “On the Xbox 360 we run at 2.47ms, with still a lot of optimisations to try,” Jimenez said.
“We can’t speak for all the MLAA(-like) implementations out there, but we think our current version 1.6 (the one used for these comparisons) has raised the quality bar considerably,” Jimenez told gamesindustry.biz. “In our tests, it produces results on par (when not superior) to CPU MLAA.”
It’ll certainly be fascinating to see if 360 developers can put MLAA to the same striking effect as seen on the PS3, and, whatever platform you game on, the ability of programmers to continue to push higher performance out of the ageing consoles is impressive.

iPatoboxIVIcMuFFiiNxmicca20 STOP trying to update old hardware you can only push it so far just release another console you stingy F***S
How on earth are they stingy? If they do put out a new console in the next couple of years I don't see it doing well considering people don't want to spend another $300 (@ the minimum) to purchase a new Xbox. $300(at least) for the new Xbox, $60 for games (if the price doesn't go up), $10-25 for DLC's. I don't think people want to be spending money more than they need to.
Talk about hitting the nail on the head.
also with the backwards compatibility issues that hit both the ps3 and 360 the big question is would 360 games work on the new xbox.
if they didnt i doubt it would do well as there are still many games that alot of people play on the 360.

ticketTTG_Avenged idk man, the ram on the xbox is only 4gb dual core, so 8gb.Are you on crack what the **** are you talking about. I dont even think you know what your talking about.
My cpu right here is 2gb dual core so 4gb.
This thing was 119$!!!!
They have the technology to make a ram for the upcoming xboxs, with 16gb quad GB.
64 GBS!!!
SIXTY FOUR GB RAM!!!
thats a miracle...
And it could even be a affordable price of 300-500 with internet explorer 9 (integrated with the xbox firmware) and you can talk, use the guide, while on the internet.
ONE BAD THING people were complaining about:
Questioner: What if I get viruses or malware on my Xbox?
Microsoft spokesman: Ha, were Microsoft. Of course were making that out of the question.
When they said that my jaw DROPPED :trollin:
This was aaaaaaaaall a well writen lie. Did i fool ya? :trollin: I will attack you with my cat :nyancat: if you try to spam me :Trollin:
hahahah i gree with u sir that guy is cooked. But i am curios to see if this will be implemented, that that xbox needs a boost in sales lol :)

I hope Halo 4 uses MLAA anti-aliasing... MLAA is considered highly demanding, taking 3-4ms to render on the PS3 while using five SPUS, but Jorge Jimenez and Jose I. Echevarria say their 360 version is faster: On the Xbox 360 we run at 2.47ms, with still a lot of optimisations to try, Jimenez said. Go to: http://beefjack.com/news/xbox-360-to-get-ps3-style-mlaa-anti-aliasing-quality-bar-raised/ I knew this day would come cause the PS3 rely's on their CPU when the 360 has a better GPU and it was cause of the 360's GPU this is possible
