NVIDIA: Adam & Jamie draw a MONA LISA in 80 milliseconds!

Led Zeppelin Rules.

uh what !

@7raczyk none of that matters. The demo has little to do with what they are actually using to present and more with the metaphor of GPU processing compared to CPU processing. I'm still not certain how you missed that? I mean you are arguing that when a person says that "He isn't the brightest bulb of the bunch" that they are really comparing them to a light bulb and well...that would make you a very dim bulb indeed.

This doesn't compare anything. Those 1100 paintball guns were all aligned manually and all specially preloaded with a certain paint ball. And a moderate micro-controller that runs at 100mhz would be able to power the simple small script that they used for the machine shown in the video. It's a matter of finding step motors with enough precision. And you wouldn't need a GPU that specializes in vectors, 3D meshes and bitmaps to fire all the PB guns, more like a simple m-controller with a lot ports

You're over-analyzing it. Don't try to look beyond what these are. These are just demonstrations used to help ordinary people better grasp the concepts of why we need GPU's for our more powerful applications. The first demo is meant to show how a CPU handles graphics (one step at a time) and the second how a GPU handles graphics, with multiple operations being carried out simultaneously.

This smile is busted! ^^

That is so bad ass.

just imagine if that hits you

How does this prove that a gpu is faster than a cpu?

It isnt, it does more things at an slower speed
