Plaz, The GigaPixel tiling technology that 3dfx recently acquired has 1/10th the bandwidth requirements of the traditional SGI Z-buffer rendering pipeline. Deferred shading certainly offers a lot of relief from unnecessary accesses to the framebuffers and texture memory. However, it appears that you are playing devil's advocate. Your post to Carl emphasized the need for bandwidth to the framebuffer, and your post to me played it down somewhat. eDRAM fab processes are limiting to what else can be done on the chip It is possible to implement embedded DRAM in a standard CMOS process, but not as efficiently as in a DRAM process. Isn't Nintendo using embedded DDR DRAM in their next generation product? Scumbria
