NVIDIA in a Minute: GPUs Power the 2010 Best Visual Effects Academy Award Winner

Were bringing you another behind the scenes look here at NVIDIA. This week we met with Danny Shapiro, director of marketing for Quadro, who spoke with us about NVIDIAs work with the film industry, and the hand GPUs played in helping Avatar snag the Oscar for best visual effects.

Up to 100 times faster? So if we had a render which takes 100 days, Nvidia Quaddro can do it in 1 day? If that's true, I'm speechless.

Wish developers keep getting busy on the PC for PC instead of the shallow shiny short games for consoles.

@SonsOfHateSphere Wrong, divide 100 by 2, it would take 50 days

@z34gtp9395 can ati do phys X and 3d vision? why does "ati rules" as you you say?

@R3AP3R664 what has nividia ever done to you. i enjoy phys-x and 3d vision sorry you have so much hate. if you can you should fuck your ass with your TI CARD!

@satellitedirecTV are trying to give nvidia video editing advice? are you really that bored. what other effects does it need. it just a guy talking for a minute.

@SonsOfHateSphere

1frame costs about 1,5-2hrs rendering. 1 second contains 24Frames(framerate of HD media). Films durates 3hours. so calculate urselve.

This was because of Nvidia Tesla racks. A gpu can be 200 times faster in Single and Double Precision floating points than a normal Vector CPU. *intel i7 as example.

Ive just managed to get my ATi working with nvidia physx :D

but guess what' nvidia are releasing games using CUDA now .... .. Just cause 2

Again!! GO FUCK YOURSELF

SELFISH BATSARDS ... they know ATi are better at rendering graphics ...

[ChazZeromus]

V-ray + CUDA = Breathtaking visuals at consumer desktops D:

You never fail Nvidia.

P.S

I'm tired to hell with ATI crapping out on me. poor drivers.

[R3AP3R664]

Nvidia go fuck yourself

Except they don't because Consoles are backed up by Huge publishers like Sony or Microsoft.
