While ATI was having their little demonstration on an Aircraft Carrier, everyone seems to have missed Nvidias big announcements at IBC in Amsterdam.

WOW - Nvidia's counter to ATIs 6 monitor GPU is having nvidia GPUs replace CPUs in the film and TV industry. Impressive!

tl;dr: CUDA IS GREAT, CUDA IS REALLY AWESOME, LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO WITH CUDA, DID WE MENTION CUDA?

^ :lol: CUDA would be a plus only if more software uses it. From a developer's perspective I think programing for CUDA is easier than programing for ATI.

 

[darkvine]

All this is aimed more at industry, which is great, but doesn't do a huge amount for most people.

Like to see what they are going more on a the game front of things. This is more like Quadro stuff (yes I know they use it on both but most of these tasks are done on Quadro cards)

AMD gained another 6% on shares, both intel and nvidia lost ~1%.

It's pretty obvious what the markets think anyway. Let's just hope that they all get what they deserve.

Hmmmm.... to me, it bodes poorly that all they talked about was CUDA, seems like GT300 is either too far out to demonstrate or not powerful enough to show up what AMD delivered.

Neither is good.

i agree, especially since i moved to ati and do stream computing now (oh the joys of knowing CUDA as well)

though i am waiting for ATI's OpenCL SDK for GPUS's, they released it for their cpus though

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

All this doing movies, redoing movies, when theyve been doing all this, they CUDA been making better gpus for games heheh

 

[dndhatcher]

Linux for cuda could be the desktop platform that topples Microsoft.

 

[jennyh]

I sure hope Nvidia are banking on that to stay afloat. Sorta like, win win either way. 😀

 

[dndhatcher]

No jenny, it would be a lose lose. We need at least two major competitors in every industry to push each other to improve speed and quality. Monopolies run just slightly more efficiently and responsively than government agencies.
