Sorry guys. It's been a long day. Vessel upload is 30 mins away or so. YT will be here very soon.

Probably because 35GB of it was just audio that's why.

This is just dumb. Xbox demos are being run off of PCs, and nobody cares

if we're going to bitch and whine about every company that faked an effect for an expo we'll list every company in existence.
 
so long as it works when it's possible for people to buy it, there's no problem.

But Google stuff actually works.. So why not use it?
 
Works + innovating is good enough for me.
 
Firefox has a lot of junk, doesn't run as smoothly, nor does the UI look as good as as intuitive as I want it to.

Then why the hell are they loading Uplay with it?

I think Canada, does alot of things better then the USA, not to mention alot lower crime rate

nothing wrong with switching to the red team for this generation

1. WCCF
2. OP is updating it as we speak, and you seem full of yourself.
3. AMD. Next gen GPUs. Leak.

I got 55/80 without looking anything up.
 
I guess I failed.

This is why these "benchmarks" are meaningless and pointless:
 
Firstly, they are comparing an API to a driver.
 
Secondly, the point of Mantle is to remove the CPU bottleneck. Yes, you see little improvement with a 4960X and a 290X when comparing Mantle to DX3D11. We have known that for months. Mantle is intended to shine the most when you have a weak CPU.
 
To the methodology:
"most of the benchmarks were conducted using a 3960X" (they say '3960K' which is a SKU hitherto unknown to the market). Not "all". This means that the comparisons are bullshit. The point of benchmarking is to reduce the variables. You only change one thing at a time. They do not say at which clock speeds the parts were running, or whether or not they were overclocked or using custom cooling. They could have been using a stock 290X (which throttles due to a shit cooler) and an Kingpin 780ti clocked at nearly 2GHz with 8GHz RAM on LN2 for all we know.
 
To the results:
The graphs are marked in tenth-percentage increases. That means that those graphs show a 780ti beating an R9 290X by an incredibly small margin. If the R9 290X did 100FPS, the 780ti did 101.9 FPS. I also find it hard to believe, after what we know about how much an R9 290X with a 3960X benefits from Mantle, that the difference between DX11 and Mantle is so low.
 
So basically, I'm calling bullshit on the claim that the new nVidia driver "kills" the AMD offering. I'm calling bullshit on the idea that Mantle provides less than 1% increase in FPS, because we know that to be false. Just look at any Mantle reviews. Additionally, the one part of the bench rig named doesn't even exist (3960K).

What !? Free-Sync monitors don't even exist yet. It's ridiculous to say that G-Sync has been "proven" to be better when a comparison hasn't even been made.

We're a little past april first.

Nvidia presents NVLink with next next generation GPU which boost PCI-E express to solve bottleneck with the CPU and between GPU and GPU




Presents Memory chip build on a chip 3D Memory:

Shows the development of increase bandwidth.

Nvidia calls the chip that will use the GPU: Blaise Pascal - creator of Mechanical Calculator, and more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal

Next generation GPU -> Pascal:



AnandTech notes on Pascal (I am following this as well).
GPU Roadmap:


Nvidia talks about AI technologies






Still talking about GPGPU and AI and use case situation with advance processing/

Nvidia talks about Google R&D:


1 Yottaflop is approximately 1,000,000 exaflops


Nvidia talking about neural network to implement computer learning and training (SkyNet anyone)

Doing a Demo with image analysis.

Doesn't get confused... somewhat.
Marked the Italian flag and the PSP Vista as Nvidia products. (Oups!) Nvidia CEO laugth


Shows a demo that it can identify dog breeds based on pictures.

Titan selling like hot cakes. Gamers buy it, and researching buys it for their studies and R&D as it's easily accessible in retail stores.


Dual TITAN! Titan Z - 3 slot of goodness

Need a super computer on your desk. This is what to get, Nvidia says.

Pixar uses Nvidia GPU's to to 3D rendering and Physics simulation for the best looking visuals.

250h to render. Large part of time is due to physics calculations

Live simulation (graphics + physics):

Simulates jellyfish and plecton as well as water, particle system, foam generators, water, and so on

First Real time phsyics solves, liquid, solid, and all working between each other




Shows turbulence, wind, gravity


Volumetric rendering fire (32 million voxel (little cube in 3D space))

Each cube contain information about temperature and all sort of information which make it burn when it needs to, and interaction with objects:

Noting on Maxwell. Sorry guys

As a gamer with a shit-ton of Steam games from sales and Humble Bundles, I can confirm this.

Please, that was uncalled for.
If Microsoft adopts Mantle this basically means that AMD has struck gold.
Contrary to what you may believe having its own hardware optimized API be the industry standard will benefit AMD the most and not the other way around.

Yeah I already bought one - I'll also have coverage of it from PAX East as I believe they are going to be there!

If these are true, it's going to be a very exciting time for cpu overclockers in the next few months.
 
Am I the only who found this quote incredibly refreshing? Considering nearly everybody else would have come to the conclusion "it must be because the PC market is dying." 

Except that without Mantle, we wouldn't be getting DX12.

That's a dead lie and we should all know it.

"Secret weapon against Xbox One"
 
Oh, you mean the PS4?

This thread is so amazingly awesome...
 
Once Alpha gets going I'll look into developing starcitizen.linustechtips.com into its own hub and sub forum but not yet!
