The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[hurleybird]

In the Rocket Sled demo youtube video, they simulated 500 000 particles for the bridge, at about 5fps. The presenter says you can do millions.

My observations:
1. Fermi is running well. If you can run something that complex, no reason you can't launch.

2. 500 000 particles is almost as high as screen pixel count (2MP for 1080). That's huge!! In Particle Fluid Simulation GTX285 (CUDA) does 30fps with 60 000 particles. 2fps on Core i7.

So... very rough estimate 40% (1 - (500000 / (60000*6)) = .39) faster than GTX285 while needing to render a scene and do physics as well? Sounds pretty good. The whole demo looks sweet, but so did whiteout. In fact, I'd say whiteout still looks better than any game on the market and came out with the HD2900. Just shows that demos aren't always the best way to gauge power.
