Geforce 100 / Fermi Benchmark vs. GTX 285: Optix Raytracing

See GF100 / Fermi (left) benchmarked against an ordinary Geforce GTX 285 (right) in realtime raytracing,
In this Video, Nvidias Sr. Technical Marketing Manager Lars Weinand (former Rivastation, former Tomshardware, former Ati/AMD - Hi Lars!) shows us Interactive Raytracing via Nvidias own Optix Engine. Where GTX 285 manages 0.2 fps, Fermi triples that score to 0.6 Fps. That's HD-Rayttracing in 1.920 x 1.200 with about 5 bumps per ray shot.

you may not realise it but it IS outstanding.

a CPU would need minutes to render one image like that.

with hardware raytracing at this speed it's a HUGE timesaver to render CGI. just think about it, ten minutes of video = 30*60*10 = 18000 frames. now multiply that with the CPU rendering time (say 10 minutes) and GPU rendering time (say 5 seconds a frame), you get four months of rendering time on CPU vs. one day of rendering on GPU.

sure, nobody renders on one CPU, but imagine how much energy this tech saves.

I wonder how powerful our gpu's (if they're even still around) will be in 10 years.

@69ajfly gpu is a graphics processor, cpu is the main all-purpose processor.

GF100 used to be the internal codename for the Fermi GPUs back in the day, now they're called GTX 400. gtx 280 is the last generation of geforce graphics cards.

in this video they compare how fast they can render an image on either GPU using a very resource-intensive method called raytracing which results in photorealistic imagery. needless to say, the GF100 is 2-3 times faster at that than the gtx 280.

@xamanto

what is the diference between GPU and CPU?

it says for the title of the video GF100 vs gtx 280 is that just another video card?

@iD0NUTZ

you got BULLSHITTED

[iD0NUTZ]

yeah Nvidia is also coming out with a Dual GTX 400 later this year. That's going to be really powerful

@Douselol

this is the least most powerful of the series, theyre showing how much better it is than one of the best of the last generation. so do expect alot more from the other cards

[Cobac]

THEY DIDNT SHOW THE GTX RENDERING !

[HumenDoctor]

what size is the screens?
