Elios said:unified shaders
I am going to use the 360 for example. It has 48 pipes, but they are used as both pixel shaders and vertex shaders.psychot|K said:I heard about that...
Sorry for the noob question but I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly what it is All I know is that it has something to do with pipelines, right? Care to elaborate? How long till the market sees unified shaders? And what will it do for raw processing power?

HOCP4ME said:I think the next big thing will be the next version of DirectX (I think they changed the name for Longhorn, don't remember what it was called but it isn't DirectX 10)
Oh, and currently physics are handled by the CPU, not the GPU. Therefore, the PhysX chip technically doesn't enhance the GPU.
Crimson Tear said:I think that they're trying to imply that the Ageia chips will be added to video cards in the future.
dR.Jester said:Yea, that means video cards will be $900.
Unoid said:R600 (summer 2006), lets hope july.
Unified shaders GDDR4 memory, hopefully 10mb of embedded EDRAM like the r500
next dx version at same time

psychot|K said:So summer of 06 is when we can start seeing some big revolutions in the vid card world for desktops?
yes, it soes actualy, i think, you see, if you have a PPU and a newer game (Farcry 2 for exaple) that has fully interacive/desructive enviorments then that will take a HUGE load off of the CPU and the video card, it will even help the lower end cards preform much better, since the video card(s) can consentrait on JUST textures, resolution, etc.........Chris_B said:That physics cards have nothing much to do with video cards?
Brent_Justice said:eDRAM is too expensive, it would be nice, but don't hold your breath for it to be on desktop parts
Chris_B said:Next big thing in video cards, not just in general.
Bona Fide said:Isn't nVidia trying to push a "GPU socket"?
Wesley1357 said:this ageia card is going to make current games in current video cards seem like a tic tac toe games! this card is going to truly revolutionaze games, have you seen the demos?
i hope they dont invent a.i., if they do machines will slave us.

The PS3 uses an Nvidia GPU that is similar to the 7800gtx. So no it doesn't have unified shaders.psychot|K said:Will the PS3 be doing something similar? When do you think we'll see this on desktop machines?
