So.... can I play Crysis with this, then? :lol:
"10x performance boost"
What were they using before? Intel HD graphics?
Not sure if you really want Sony Pictures to promote your product these days <_<
obviously not worked with realtime 3D... basically they can now access more of the file from gpu memory rather than system ram and page files. Having more GPU memory can make a HUGE difference to performance because it allows more of the scene to be natively stored on the gpu and as such can process the data faster.Quote:

Probably a TI calculator...Quote:

Do want. Having to render scenes on my CPU because my 980 only has 4GB... Painful. Still, beggars can't be choosers, and I'll soldier on until I need to make the investment!
you're making the assumption he was 'making a joke'. Anybody with an ounce of pc knowledge knows these products aren't aimed at consumers so would be comparing to similar items rather than a bottom of the line consumer gpu that wouldn't even be able run the program properly let alone anything else :o.Quote:

Are you sure? That I didn't get my hands on a M6000 24GB and a whole load of other GPUs and iGPUs, proceed to arbitrarily benchmark them, then decide that I'd pick an Intel HD as the sole comparison because I found it was exactly 10x slower? While neglecting the fact that the two products are in different market segments?Quote:

a joke has to be funny.... at best his post was being pedantic, it wasn't funny, it's not even at 'can it run crysis' level. The people/companies this slide was aimed at wouldn't even be thinking about a consumer gpu so personally I'd like to think it was lack of experience in the field these are aimed at rather than just being stupid.Quote:

From an Nvidia advert, the new card has:
2x Memory Capacity
5x Render Performance
Management likely see that as 2x5=10, so 10x.
nowadays everyone knows adding more GDDR RAM reaches a point of diminishing returns, its a good idea to have 24 Gigs but give us benchmarks on the 12Gig card then we will know! Most of these companies use render farms to do the rendering work instead of investing 5000 on a single card.
