Nvidia creates fire

[jecho]

I think this is way cooler than hair

[Paralectic]

Looks impressive, I am curious on how they will implent this into next gen games.

[Lord Pantaloons]

Old news by now

[jecho]

I always wondered why amd went for air effects when 90% of games have terrible fire effects.

[brownninja97]

its nice but like a lot of their technologys no one can actually be bothered to use it.

[Butterfish]

Awesome! :D

I thought it looked decently good right until I read this "volumetric fire simulation running on GeForce Titan Z"

[wpirobotbuilder]

It's a demonstration, nothing more. The only thing that GPU was doing it rendering the fire and effects. You wouldn't want this level of fire detail in games just yet; they would consume all your GPU power.

 

With that said, it'd be fantastic to see more realistic fire/water effects in games. Also, please give us truly destructible terrain. When a mine goes off, I expect there to be a hole in the ground where it exploded, not just a black spot on the ground that fades away.

Can't watch in school.   I'll check this out later

[flibberdipper]

It looks nice on paper, wonder how it will be in game.

I personally think it's wrong to compare this to TressFX as OP does. Unlike this TresFX can and is accualy used ingame. And like you said, IF you tried to put these kind of effects ingame it would render the game virtually unrunnable on any modern mainstream gaming machine (like mine).

Afaik there's only one game with TressFX and the PC version wasn't quite optimized and it drew a lot of GPU power.

The developer would ofcourse turn down the size of the fire and also the level of detail until they get the compromise of visuals to performance.

[DildorTheDecent]

Rendered on a Titan Z, 

 

lol nope

[Rageodontist]

I wonder how long it will take for this to actually be implemented.

[That Norwegian Guy]

News' about as old as actual fire.

[Dragonzeanse]

AMD can do it better. R9 290X.

[alepodj]

its gonna be a while to see this in games,,, movies got easier though

[bcredeur97]

i really am curious as to if Nvidia Pascal will change the world... what is AMD going to do? put their GPU's in NVlink sockets? where do the GPU's even go? soldered to mobo?

 

But on topic.... games might have this kind of stuff when pascal is the new thing.. I have a feeling its going to be a lot faster than normal PCIe GPU's of today. And accoriding to Nvidia's map, its supposed to be out ~2016-2018 so sooner than we all think.

how the hell did you come up with that sh*t? Do you have some evidence it will "consume the gpu power" seriously dont post comments like that without solid source

[MrCthuntoo]

Oh look, another piece of sweet tech that will only ever be used by one game.

I do have evidence that rendering that fire will use GPU power: Nvidia was using a GPU to render it.

 

Also, according to the Nvidia developer site, their Dragon demonstration ran at "over 30 fps" on a Titan. Since the central focus is on the fire effects, it's probably okay to say that the fire was the most demanding part of the demo.

 

Titans are well beyond the reach of most consumers, so is 780 Ti.

OOo

I see what you did there nice one

[sand0oski]

Looks nice, probably a good 5 or so years off from being mainstream though.  Maybe Crysis 4 will have a "deep pockets" graphics setting that will use this to render fire lol.

If it cant run on mainstream machines. Thats a good thing....

[Victorious Secret]

TressFX is unoptimized as hell, so thats not some badge of pride that it actually exists.
