While it isn't designed for

Submitted by kiaghi7 on Wed, 07/08/2009 - 4:30pm

While it isn't designed for videogaming -now- it very well could be re-worked into that, and if they were smart enough to make the hardware fully operable by the software, it could be a behemoth provided a few things are accounted for:

 

First, raytracing is a different beast from conventional models of light mapping, it literally sends a calculated "beam" from the emission source and follows the path of reflections until a determined mitigation point is reached. Until games use more ray-tracing for lighting and shadows, which is a fair way off since it is insanely inefficient compared to other methods currently used, but the result -can be potentially- far superior.

Second, while it obviously has numerous processing cores, they are dedicated to a singular task, not really ideal by today's standard where most rendering cores can serve multiple functions in a GPU's workload so as to not have "idle sides".

Third, -IF-, and that is a very strong if, the GPU is indeed retooled into a gaming GPU, will its capability convert directly, or will it scale down by orders of magnitude? I would love for there to be a new GPU maker in the market that can really show up on the scene with a GPU that blows everything else out of the water and entirely reshapes the market and the direction it's going (because the current path isn't all that great), but I am dubious that effectively putting a spoiler on the back of a Gremlin is going to make it able to go toe to toe with a Ferrari.

Brute-Force Password

Brute-Force Password Cracking seems like a fine possibility with this. The only issue might be for the program to use all of the power, but if it does, hell, better make a very long password.

Four HD 5870X4 crossfired

Submitted by erolsipar on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 8:25am

Four HD 5870X4 crossfired couldnt reach that much. ATI and Nvidia should smart up and make 5 TFLP a standard 8 TFLP mainstream and 15 TFLP for Ultimate High Performance GPU.

That picture above reminds me of the world's biggest orgy that the Japanese also pulled off. Do a quick search and you'll find some pictures and video clips (if you like that sort of thing). What will they think of next?
