G80 pictures of adrianne curry

You miss the point completely perkham, yes any card can do that but when it comes to marketing and delivering in 3d they have to tie in what they wish and what the card can deliver. Of course the 3d shots will always be better but there has to be some correlation.

Lets see some old Ati and nvidia 2d shots so we can contrast and compare how good the 2d to 3d then was compared to this.

Go on, stick em up and lets judge.

Filmmakers have been using character modelling for almost a decade, andy...the G80 is a big leap in the direction towards more powerful 3d rendering but i fail to see how a single picture makes a difference.

If the G80 can render at that level of quality in real time (and i think they'll release that after launch)...thats the thread i'll be looking forward to

That's my point, they do 2d with what they can get away with regarding 3d and so it should be uniform from FX / R350 onwards so in this case are you not impressed with what they can get away with in in 2D this time ?

Or are you saying nvidia are taking it too extreme and making the gap bigger ?

Who knows, we will see.

My bad...all i'm concerned with is processing power...and in this case...polygon processing power Unfortunately one picture isn't a judge of that

Very true. It will all come out in the wash I am sure.

Exciting times ahead though

What we require is a real time demo, a video

I 2nd that notion, that would be a real test of GPU capabilities.

Well, for your viewing pleasure...

It's not the exact same quality as the pre-rendereds but i find it pretty amazing for a real-time demo. The poly-count is kinda ridiculous in that there are no visible facets at all - it almost looks like a subdivision surface mesh within a 3D app.
