Pandora GPU Specs?

I tried to look up how many polys the PowerVR SGX 530 can calculate per second but that info is apparently not available on Google or lost somewhere.

TI says about 10 million for this SGX 530.

200 MHz ain't what we're running at, we have only 110 MHz.

But then, measuring a GPU in polygons per second is like measuring a motor by its unloaded top speed.


You're ignoring all kind of important factors like shading and whatnot.


Unless you're planning to write a game that just draws hundreds of thousands of flat, unlit, untextured triangles?


Edit: I heard we only have 2 shader processors, this concerns me since I heard the SGX was going to have kickass shading. But the demo videos are still promising.

I have an idea for a 3D front end if someone cold help me write it, I could model a cartridge for each game console like a SNES cartridge and when you hit play rom it shows a 3D animation of inserting a cartridge into a 3D snes, each cartridge would have a texture on it with a name of the game you wanted to play.


Also can the GPU be overclocked?

Virtua Racing remake, please.
