Nvidia Water and Hair Demos

[Broken Hope]

If you scroll down about ¾ down the page there is a link to download both demos. They run fine on ATI hardware though you'll want to back the Tessellation down a bit on the water demo for ATI cards.

When I try to run "Hair" on my GTX260 it says "Failed creating the Direct3D device" any ideas?

Does it need DX11?

"Water and Hair are DirectX 11 Tessellation demos which render realistic water, terrain and hair."


Indeed, DX11 is a requisite it seems

Water never looked so good...except when you're ripping across it at 70mph

See, this is what annoys me about ATI, nVidia always have cool demos and ATI pretty much always release rubbish ones.

What is the 58xx series demo anyway?

I think ATI had that robot demo didn't they? Not that impressive really.

Some benchmarks comparing ATI cards against the nVidia ones in these demos would be good Anyone know any links?

 

[Mr Paul]

That's them, CRAP!

See my point?

What demos has Nvidia released that are better than the Ruby demos or the Toyshop demo and they were released years ago?

 

[Mr Paul]

Ruby demos, apart from the Whiteout one were crap IMHO. The Toyshop one is the best one they have ever done.

 

[straxusii]

Ladybug is better than hair

 

[Mr Paul]

I suppose we all have our own ideas
