/hr/ ATI Tech Demos Cronauer !sRg2SqGvH.
It almost looks like /hr/ is back in action...

Enjoy!

You should probably take a look at the Geforce 8 series demos...

This is getting near the uncanny valley territory.

Nothing too interesting there, a sub-par performing demo involving stretching a frogs face, Adrianne, who still looks entirely CG (SSS is cool, but can you honestly see it in the demo?).

The only thing that actually looks any decent is Cascades, can't fault that.

I suppose by 'impressive' I was mainly getting at artistic (use of lighting, colouring, sound/music) and visual quality (you know, the amount of physical detail in the scene)and for that Toyshop wins by a mile. Include the water from that Cascades demo and you've got a real winner.

Anyone who gives a damn about the architecture and technical complexity and quality of ATi's GPUs would never have the heart to side with nVidia.
The pros say:
ATI > NVIDIA
The noobs say:
NVIDIA > ATI
Against myself: GG nVidia, the G80 is the first half-assed GPU you've ever made... now only if it was more efficent at Direct3D_10 and capable of acting as a GP-GPU as the X1000 line.

ATi's X1900 line is capable of acting as a supplemental processor with over 300Gflops of high-precision floating-point integer performance, largely used by the medical industry to find ways to CURE DISEASES. Alzheimer's disease has made some headway recently with the processing power of 500 X1900s.

AMD(ATi)'s X2800XTX is slated to be over %30 more powerful then nVidia's upcoming 8900GTX.

TPPics in a few.

Ok...while it's all good and well that you feel that way, could I please ask that you leave that kind of bash-talk for /g/? It's just going to attract all the wrong people here, which is not what I spent all this time uploading to do.

Just threw these up for others enjoyment, if you want to pitch in your own /hr/ tech demo shots or such, then by all means...but please, leave the chatter like that for another board :)

Oh wow, you've really got no clue.

The 8800GTX can push out over 345 Gflops, which is almost 3x IBM's Cell CPU. It has 128 streaming processors (which can be run independantly from other graphics fuctions), compared to the X1900's 48 (though these are just reprogrammed shader pipelines), and the Cell's 7.

The Geforce 8 architecture supports general purpose processing using nVidia's C-like CUDA programming language, which can automatically scale depending on how many processing elements are used (like in SLI and quad SLI machines).

At the moment, the Geforce 8 is FAR more powerful for calculating effects and physics data than any other card on the market.

Please, take it to /g/. Don't ruin this thread

Do you think I care about whether my graphics card cures deceases, whether it has more theoretical processing power than some other card? No I don't, I care about benchmarks, how many FPS it gives me and about and user-friendliness, not about theoretical crap. Do you care whether your car is used in crash tests which may help reduce victims of future car crashes? No you don't, you buy it because you like it/it goes fast/it is cheap. And I don't really see why you can say -anything- about the performance ratio of two cards when they both still have to come out yet. And even if it is faster, nVidia has had the lead for quite some time now, it's about time ATi does something back.

I <3 my 8800GTX.

Aye, it looks like she's barely clinging onto it by her fingers.

She's super-strong and so she doesn't need to hold it properly.

In the normal demo, you only ever see a bit of her face and part of the blade covering the bottom quarter of the screen, so perfectly modelling her gripping the bade probably wasn't all that important...
