Nvidia will likely design PS4 graphics, too

[nightime]

As the company revealed during E3, it's teamed up with leading PC graphics card maker Nvidia to create a new graphics chip, called the RSX, for the PS3.

<b>"Our new GPU has been cocreated with Nvidia. I drew a road map for the future together with [Nvidia president] Jen-Hsun, and the starting point of that road map is the RSX.</b> Many people seem to think that the PS3's GPU is an upgraded model of GPUs for the PC, but it actually has a completely different architecture," explained <b>Kutaragi, whose comments seemed to indicate that the two companies might work together again on the inevitable PlayStation 4.</b>

this is good news. and next time, if it works out, Nvidia will be on board from the very beginning. from the ground up, on PS4, unlike PS3 were they came in after PS3 had been in development for a number of years.

cannot wait to see what Sony-Nvidia can come up with in a GPU that they jointly create with plenty of time to test out totally new ideas.

Can Sony and Nvidia together bring...
raytracing? global illumination? and other rendering techniques that are currently impossible, not only on current hardware but on hardware coming in the next 2 years including G70, PS3 RSX, G80 etc.
