When we first saw the debut gameplay footage of Star Wars 1313 on Spike TV, fans were blown away by the visuals on display.
Now we know why.
According to this article on EGMNOW, Star Wars 1313 was shown harnessing the power of the 2nd fastest Nvidia graphics card ever created.
Inside the PC that ran [Star Wars 1313] at E3 was an Nvidia GeForce GTX 680. This is a brand new card from Nvidia and is the quickest single-core GPU the company has built. Featuring 2GB of video memory and a 1GHz base clock, it is second only in speed to the GTX690 which features a pair of GPUs.
Just to give you an idea of its speed, it manages to run last year’s graphical show-stopper, Battlefield 3, at an average of 45 frames a second with everything turned up full whack and running at a staggering 2560 x 1600 resolution. So that is double the resolution of your HD TV and running quicker and better than your PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A GTX 680 is going to set you back around £420.
