does the arcsoft simHD player support ATI stream?

The fruit cake is making me hungry :|

[sonofhendrix]

thats all great but i will be buying an nvidia card simply because i can actually play with many many cuda demos. ATI has no such offerings with its stream.

[inemanja]

@sonofhendrix wich demos? you have 4 or 5 of them

[peckfeckler]

Well stream and cuda are both just Open CL extensions.. the ability to utilise the gpu for general purpose computing will be fully realized with dx 11 , win7 and mac osx 10.7 or snow leopard.. and everyone knows ati's top card offers far greater compute power, 933 GFLOPS for the gtx 280 and 1.2 TFLOPS for the 4870.. ATI is raping once again. and btw physx can be done on the cpu.. especially when you have 2 out of your 4 cores using less than 5 percent of their power.

-First of all the max speed is never reached and it is purely theoretical.

-Second ATI's technology is quite different to NVidia's SIMT... Big difference!

-Third ATI is promoting Brooke which is the shittiest thing ever!!! Cannot even be compared to cuda.

- Btw ATI has DDR5 vs DDR3 of Nvidia... 800 stream processors (ATI) vs 480 (nvidia)... Av.Core frequency 850Mhz (ATI) vs 650Mhz (nvidia)...

and the difference is only 200 Gflops...???ATI is doing a shitty job.

notice how the 4870 is almost $100 cheaper?

[GordonFreeMANness]

That is SOOOO true! About cores and... GPU's compute power...

[sonofhendrix]

Will ATI ever bring STREAM technology into the mainstream like CUDA??? probably if you give them a few decades at this rate. Im soon going to replace my 4870 with a state of the art Nvidia card. Probably in the summer, and lets face it STREAM will still be going nowhere come this summer.

I mean STREAM could be great im all for it, but these tasks can be done on CPU within reasonable time, so what's the point. I want in game PHYSX like mirrors edge and i want to be able to do stuff that would take weeks to calculate on my core2duo.

[sonofhendrix]

Is he saying that my dvd player has more power than my PC!? I hoped for more than standard up scaling to 720p. Im sure there's a technology that actually calculates actually new pixels based on complex predictions of what should be there and can bring out amazing new detail from low res videos, and its very compute intensive, i was hoping for something like that but this is standard tech that you would just run on your CPU or dvd player. PLus its not free you have to buy the software. CUDA WINS.

@sonofhendrix DVD upscaling on a DVD player just adds the lines required to make that image. Think interlacing. The GPU does this pixel by pixel, making it more clearer and accurate. BTW, ATI's video cards will upscale when using AVIVO in programs like Cyberlink, Windows Media Center and a few others. Stream and it's development is free to use, Cuda is not.

I was a nvidia fanboy until i realized that nvidia is ripping customers off with overpriced video cards :) so now i'm a die-hard ATI fanboy! ATI forever!

[dmny92]

ATI is better than Nvidia.

[helldrell666]

Great job ATI.
