NVIDIA Serves up a Can of WHOOP ASS

[dinos22]

this can of whoopass really takes the cake for me

have a look at how fast this GFX card is encoding and transcoding videos compared to your usual software/CPU based encoding

talk about CPUs getting owned lol

looks interesting but h264 is limited by hard disk now so i cant see this helping unless u have a ram drive setup for your + demo and a hard drive for the base or - demo

did they do something with maya or solid works or cuda that dosnt involve the hard drive

[dinos22]

how could they
where are you going to store temporary data

[zanzabar]

M$ dose it, and from what i understand its a common practice

u encode one thing to a ram drive or SSD array then the other to an old hard disk, but it looks interesting i want to see how it pans out

and i miss heard i thought that the but rates were higher, i ran the numbers and its 66MB/s for what they are doing and thats alot different than what i was initially thinking

but thats impressive encoding at 66MB/s, dose rapid HD have a site i cant find one

[waway625]

Sounds awesome Josh, ill keep the night free once you have a date.
News toys are always welcome

Although the last one i got slugged 7% GST on a sample :/

off topic

that was last april if im not mistaken

[T_M]

That was probably my friend NightRaven

[waway625]

That was probably my friend NightRaven

CUDA and these new GPU's are the cat's pajama's!!!

Off topic: How great is the limitations of CPU and HDD speed with respects to capturing (with Fraps)?

I have noticed capturing at 2560 * 1600 resolution, makes a significant drop in the framerate captured, compared to the framerate when not capturing.

Is this a limitation of HDD speed and/or CPU speed?

Why does a 1 min capture @ 27 fps take ~4 GB of HDD space with Fraps?

Please respond in PM, if this is all off topic

[Hazaro]

It is raw uncompressed video data.
Shows what wonders compression can do right?

Apple's conversion must suck a lot of something...
Either that or it is rigged in favor of the GPU. They wouldn't do that. Right? Right?

[BenchZowner]

Fraps videos ain't raw videos.
It's using its own video codec, which is pretty good I must admit concerning the data rates and the resulting image quality.

that looks alot like assassins creed but with more grass, and guns

do u have the rest of the fire that looks awsome

[inCore]

That looks simply stunning, I would also love to see the rest if it exists. Runs really smooth too.

I have been dying to get out of Singapore since 2003 ! Will be finally moving to Australia in a few months time. I hope you did your research before choosing Singapore Where are you originally from by the way ? To answer your Question, Sim Lim Square is the best place period and if you are lazy to make a trip down there is always the local online retailer, www.potterhouse.net whose catalogue isnt too bad...

So psyched about that game, it's going to be fan-ing-tastic on GTX280 in SLI. It's one of those games where, after seeing 1 or 2 trailers, you just know it's going to be good - even if the story is a let down, or AI isn't up to scratch, or whatever, it's still going to be a great game One thing i was trying to figure out is how large it is, i've read "50 square km" and i'm trying to figure out how big that is in comparison to, say, Oblivion. . .

That's not entirely new, and the video poster is a member here (dinos) and so is the owner of the Australian site (i4 Memory - owned by Eva2000) whose been a member here since ages.

fc2 video looks really promising.

Indeed. I don't know what else to say... You're very informative
