Ya but Nvidia SLI was still very exciting and reminded us of 3dfx SLI. 2 cards, same as 3dfx, but also the option for 3 or 4! 4 way SLI like the voodoo5 6000 :)
In spirit it was the same. Still a fun time in pc graphics and new cool stuff was...
This is comparing FP4 operation per second with FP8 for the other gen, I think ( the other chips like the H200 are almost multi GPU) and vast part of the boost is from the complete ecosystem like you say.
It is not a big indicative value because...
I figured it was cherry picked in some way, all presentations and PR material you gotta expect that.
77% is much more believable. Still an amazing uplift as well. Sounds like it could match the 9xx to 10xx generational performance increases.
They do make blacklight LED's, because I have a blacklight flashlight and it's just LED's.
UV light can make some colors pop and appear to glow... I wouldn't be surprised if some RGB setups do include some UV lights. No idea if any were in the...
From the GTC 2024 keynote (at ~57 minutes), he shows the Inference performance increase of Blackwell over Hooper/Ada, it's 30x faster:
I believe the Blackwell is the 2 GPU's combined into 1 unit. Plus he attributes a portion of this increase...
One of the first things I did when I built my 13900 system was to set back the Intel defaults in place. It shipped with much higher limits and it was always getting limited by heat. I was a little concerned about it running so hot under load, and...
Asus was one of the AIBs who was shipping the default profile with a 4096w 512a max power setting. Instead of the much lower 340w and 350a power targets they should.
They are essentially OC’ing the crap out of the chip as a default and letting...
Streaming is not the end all be all for me. I just finally got my front room / HT setup all the way pimped out with a Viewsonic Ultra Short Throw projector and damn if 4K content doesn't look damned amazing at nearly 150" diagonal. My PC looks...
I can understand why they don't want to stock the shelves with blurays...
sales are down, more consumers are happy with streaming
likely a commonly stolen item
some movies will sit on shelves for years
But they could still have online sales...
Because once you buy it, it's yours and cant be changed or modified. Better visuals, sound, extras, no data usage. Not to mention, I cut the cord over 12 years ago and I was paying 130.00 a month. I took that money and bought a blu-ray library...
All tests were 2560x1440, without DLSS, RT, or frame gen.
Looks like 780Ti to 980Ti was 29%
980Ti to 10080Ti was 43%
1080Ti to 2080Ti was 29%
2080Ti to 3090Ti was 36% ? I could swear that one was higher. Maybe it was the DLSS improvements.
3090...
1080 Ti to 2080 Ti was the only time we got a 30% uplift. Going from a 780 Ti to 980 Ti was more than 30% and so was 980 Ti to 1080 Ti, 2080 Ti to 3090, and 3090 to 4090. I am comparing the top dog dies for each generation so GK110 vs GM200 vs...
I never had the original voodoo's couldn't afford it back then.
But now I got this...
Notice the chip part# -320
the 355-0026-320 is the 200Mhz VSA100 chip, vs the -220 166Mhz version widely used on the voodoo 4's and 5's.
Those...
Hey, thanks! The DDU actually worked. The reinstall of the drivers had a couple of glitches, but I clicked thru and it all worked out. The 'Nvidia Control Panel' now works.
Thanks again, much appreciated! (y)
The first computer "graphics" were on a CPU.
So the term GPU is moving that work that the CPU did to the GPU.
I would say the voodoo chips were accelerators, but didn't move the whole workload.
The CPU-GPU boundary in 1999:
In 1997, 3Dlabs...
