The Playstation 3 GPU 28nm was a performance-segment gaming console graphics solution by NVIDIA, launched in June 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the RSX-28nm graphics processor, in its RSX-D5305L variant, the device does not support DirectX. The RSX-28nm graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 68 mm² and 302 million transistors. It features 24 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA includes 256 MB GDDR3 memory, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 550 MHz, memory is running at 650 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 21 W maximum. The console's dimensions are 290 mm x 60 mm x 230 mm, and it features a igp cooling solution. Its price at launch was 299 US Dollars.
