Physics demos Show off Fog at NVIDIA GTC keynote day 1

http://www.netbooknews.com There was a few interesting physical demos presented during GTC Day 1 Keynote by Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President Content and Technology in NVIDIA.

This demo is showing some high-fidelity smoke simulation, with particles interacting fully with characters, producing nice fluid and turbulent behaviour. Last year the smoke looked more like sand, this year you can see that it really does look like smoke.

That looks like my fart.

@ZOMGitsDouchebag i am not getting it why you even spend time for such a comment. why?

Bill gates: i will economize to buy a lamborguini... '2 seconds later' yeas now i can buy ;p

oh yes I see how you know your graphics cards. It does matter about the GPU Clock speed, but also it matters MORE the clock speed of RAM if the clock speed of the RAM is slow the whole system falls apart! RAM are the 2nd fastest memory's in the PC. GPU only determines how rapidly it will manipulate the memory and show the frams, but it can't achieve high frame rates if it can't access the memory quickly, because the memory is either insufficient or too slow.

[Hitman47PL]

@Frontlines95 You fail, actually. You don't even understand how a graphics card works and what it uses RAM for. You want to pack 4 GB of ram into your GPU? Go for it. It won't do shit all for you. It will actually most likely slow your GPU down, although not noticeably. You fail to realize what actually matters is the amount of calculations your card can do in a second. The RAM is just merely used to store that and access it quickly.

[Hitman47PL]

@EvolverGT so? Packing more memory into a GPU doesn't really do shit for it if it can't calculate any data fast enough to utilize it.

@Frontlines95

Can't forget the fact ATI supported DirectX 11 first :)

[EvolverGT]

@DjTeZac I have an ATI with GDDR5.... just saying...

[Frontlines95]

@DjTeZac

maybe Nvidia did start first with everything about graphics cards, but after ATI started and made their own graphics cards they beat Nvidia in the production of graphics cards, they firstly invented 1gb cards, and so on. It doesn't matter that 4gb cards are not needed right now, it will be needed in the future. ATI made the card first and now Nvidia is just gonna copy/paste it.

"Nvidia uses GDDR5, while ATI still uses GDDR2-GDDR3" - don't speak to me.

I have HD4890 1gv GDDR5 ram, fail

[DjTeZac]

@shiraq07 Oh, and nVidia didn't "make" PhysX, they bought it off AGEIA.

[DjTeZac]

@Frontlines95 nVidia was the first company to create a GPU instead of a graphics card, who copied who? + nVidia was founded way before AMD started building GPUs (ATI)... games don't need 4GBs of VRam lol, 1-2 are more than enough and even if they did, nVidia uses GDDR5+ while ATI still uses GDDR2-GDDR3.

[shiraq07]

they should call this game "Fart Fighter".
