Nvidia Fermi Renders Look Ultra Realistic

I believe Nvidia or Ati fanboys need not stab each other's throats...

the advent and spectacular features we see on both graphic cards parties could only be achievable if there were competitions between them to begin with. I celebrate the technological breakthrough they have done today with 2 thumbs up! \/(^^)
 
I agree with that benchmarks must be done and then a nice comparison between ATI and Nvidia.

However I think those images are pre-rendered and not actual real time rendering.
 
Nvidia is doing a cash cow on the gaming market. Rebading old stuf, still earning money, and leaving. And leaving in a mist of woodscrews, glue and wax.
Loyal customer, will buy the new fermi based on some FUD bencmark, but Nvidia is not in gaming any more.
Even though this site shows there is a lot of idiots and brand value. But the next 6 month will eat this value fast. And the loyal customers will be standing back as idiots.
Wax and screw it. Pure brand satisfaction.
 
Folks these are not pre rendered images. Contrary to popular belief the technology does exist to render non animated looking video in realtime. This can be done even with current graphics cards available for desktop Windows PC's.
 
It is as much a fucking fake, like the fake fermi JHH shoved off.

It is pretty obvious, how the majority will interprete the article and the pictures. Look at the comments here. They will think this is benefits they get from buying a fermi derivative. And that is the hole point of showing it off. They only sees the pictures and their own comment.

The reality, the effects and the economy lies in the interpretation. Dont be naive.

Therefore it is a fake. And shame on Toms for showing it.
 
The anticipation of a upcomming products is manipulated by changing how people should percieve it. By saying it will be good, there is a tendency to interprete the actual product as good. Its basic psychology Thats how you do it, it is not as much as to make people save their money for an non game card, as changing how meaning is applied to the perception of reality.

Pure greed, fooling idiots.
 
if they just make the price soo low that they only make 3$ for every gpu sold
they might be able to beat Ati xD
good luck 😛
 
As someone that has been using 3D modeling/animation software since i was 12 (sigh which is to say 14 years of expierence in 3D studio, cinema 4D, softimage, lightwave, maya, Bryce, Vue D'ispirit, Carrara, Lightscape, Alias Studio, Caligari TrueSpacce, Poser, Autocad, and even Rhino 3D....and all the little addins and effects packs that go along with them....go to the list of autodesk products...i've used them all..with every yearly update release so did i upgrade my software. As others have mentioned it's been possible to achieve this kind of quality rendering for near a decade...it's just a matter of how long it takes to do so.

From the broken explination they gave on the process of creating the so called "3D models" they just had the actors stand still..and took photos from multiple angles to get the full texture map they needed.

Take the photos and line them up to appear as one solid texture/photo/of-course-we're-still-artists guide line.

use the image as a guideline for laying out the mesh vertex points.

put them in the proper location to have a poly statue so they can put the bone structure and joints in to bend them as if still real people.

Then remain oblivious to the fact that if what they claim is true hollywood will no longer require living actors....for anything.

...and celeb sex tapes are going to get a whoooole lot more interesting as the 80 year old woodshop teacher from the local highschool appears in a "home video" with angelina jolie, rosanne, and Chris farley steam up the windows of the van down by the river so they don't have to see david spades sad face peering through the rear door window because he isn't big enough to ride this ride.

With the eventual claim by former president dubya that "i told you i didn't say them thing....that must be how they made me say them things i said i never said as i watched 'em on the video box"

Nvidia didn't have a working board for the stage demo.
They have announced no offical launch date
They're already plauged with setbacks and insiders from MS, AMD, Intel, and nvidia itself were saying at the time nvidias new imagination Gfx card...the card only limited by your imaginiation....because it sure as hell can't actually do anything with wood screws and no power connectors, that they were 9 months away from going to launch best case scenario and more likely they were looking like a bankrupt hardware ompany.

You can say the pentium 4 was a great chip that lived up to expectations and ran nice and cool.

You can say the Phenom 1 chips were cool and energy efficient

and claim that larrabee won't be the next Itanium

It doesn't make it true...because they ARE SCREWED AND NEED MONEY. Wait for proof buy what you want then. Until that time no one knows anything for certain other than the current track record nvidia has in gpu's.

Have you ever watched Final Fantasy The Spirits Within? Talk about realistic and it was made years ago.
 
we used photography and transformed it into movement using 3D mapping...

[citation][nom]CoryInJapan[/nom]Wow very nice.I glimps at what PC games will look like after the next gen of consoles finally come around.[/citation]


heh, more like a glimps at what PC games will look like in a couple of years while sony and Microsoft are still distracted by dumb motion controls for their current consoles, even console devs are getting fed up with the consoles and wanna show what they can really do on PC
 
Well I was oing to defend these pictures but you can see the video where they were put together.
http://vimeo.com/6947473
the web sited says "So everything you see is photography and 3D, no filming was done whatsoever" so maybe these are some what real, but I doubt it.

These are not "in game" renders but the are still live renders, using professional movie/ graphic design software, my friend is a professional in the business, and he said that pictures like those take 5 or so minutes on his computer,(he does most of his rendering on his work comptuer. I have herd reports of getting pictures like these 2 or so a second, so that kicks but (raytracing Google it).

Too bad I was excited for a second
 
You guys do realize these images are fake right? http://www.semiaccurate (DOT)com/forums/showthread.php?t=1018 . That forum has links to numerous websites that have showed its fake. Fermi is meant for workstations not for gaming. Sucks because we need it to compete with ATI, or else all the new ATI cards wont go down in price. And i really want one =/
 
[citation][nom]tipoo[/nom]Graphics card tech demo's are bull, period. Sure it can render that by itself, but what about when there is an entire game running whith graphics of that level? I think not, Nvidia.[/citation]
I remember early DX9 demos showing off water effects, texture effects, lighting effects, etc. Remember Dawn, Dusk, etc?
It seems obvious actual DX9 games actually look better than the tech demos using the same generation cards. Ever play Crysis in high-detail DX9 mode? (or FarCry1 & Oblivion for that matter)?
I don't expect to see applications with details like what's in this article in 2010, but after 2012 is a safe bet.
Realistic zits? Can we see zit realistic/virtual squeezing in our future as well?
 
Yea, after 2012 is a safe bet :)
Say fx. 2018
And it is not going to be on a nvidia card. But Ati or S3.
Nvidia is leaving gfx hardware gaming. Get used to it.
 
When will Nvidia actually reveal pricing and working units? I keep hearing all these amazing things about Fermi but nothing really concrete.
 
Charlie says PR release late q4, availability late q1, q2.
The fermi is not for gamers anyway, perhaps the derivatives is q3/q4, when ATI is releasing their new GPU anyway.
I read the lack of pricing and launch date, not just as a low yield issue, but also as a sign of unsecure strategy for the market. Charlies date can, in light of the recent 40nm issues, perhaps even be a little to optimistic.

What exactly is Nvidia goal do you think?

 
If you read the forums where these were posted they aren't rendered as such like a video game would be. They are pictures stretched onto a 3d model with 3d modeling software. Fermi didn't do anything. Nvidia right now is having some issues and lets hope it is just issues. ATI has low prices but if they are the only ones around it would not be that way. Nvidia needs to impress someone out there so here it is.
I hate when companies put crap out thinking we are all a bunch of idiots and we can't do a little research.
