You want to play an online multiplayer game with your mates, but you don’t own the same consoles. So you can’t. Don’t you just hate that? Nvidia has the answer. Its Tegra 2 chip lets gamers play others on different console formats simultaneously with no slowdown at all. It has to be seen to be believed. We did just that.

Things soon got even more impressive when we witnessed no lack of frame-rate on any device. “We don’t have to scale anything back” Huang revealed. For both gamers and non-gamers, It was definitely something to behold.
