Everything You need to Know AMD & NVIDIA

[smogsy]

Great work smogsy. Don't want to nitpick or anything but AMD's Gaming Evolved Logo would suit the AMD section better

could not find one that had a transparent background

added in links to the Overclockers pages

 

[smogsy]

done the workstation cards today and new pictures

not what to do next.

next things to add:

are they any AMD equivalents for below?

NVIDIA GPUDirect™
NVIDIA GPUDirect™ technology enables faster communication between the GPU and other devices on the PCIe bus by removing unnecessary overhead on the CPU. GPUDirect v1.0 allows 3rd party device drivers (e.g. for InfiniBand adaptors) to communicate directly with the CUDA driver, eliminating the overhead of copying data around on the CPU. GPUDirect v2.0 enables peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between GPUs in the same system, avoiding additional CPU overhead. More…

Maximus
NVIDIA Maximus-powered workstations combine the visualization and interactive design capability of NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and the high-performance computing power of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs into a single workstation. Tesla companion processors automatically perform the heavy lifting of photorealistic rendering or engineering simulation computation. This frees up CPU resources for the work they are best suited for – I/O, running the operating system and multi-tasking – and also allows the Quadro GPU to be dedicated to powering rich, full-performance, interactive design.

Hybrid SLI
Hybrid SLI technology, based on NVIDIA's industry-leading SLI technology, delivers multi-GPU benefits when an NVIDIA motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU.

Optimus Technology
NVIDA® Optimus™ technology automatically optimizes your battery life for longer enjoyment while maintaining the outstanding graphics performance you expect from NVIDIA.


PowerMizer
An advanced hardware and software technology specifically designed to extend the battery life of notebook PCs. PowerMizer allows users to adjust their system performance and battery consumption to their specific needs with easy-to-use power management tools.

PureVideo
NVIDIA PureVideo™ technology is a combination of the GeForce 6, 7 and 8 Series GPUs’ high-definition video processor and NVIDIA video decode software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for all video content on any display.

I suppose the nearest thing to the hybrid SLI would be AMD APUs being able to Crossfire with DDR3 AMD GPUs. Not the same but a cool little feature imo.

Is mining worth a mention?

will add mining & gamestreaming

is there a mining for each Brand or are they cross branding now? been long time since i looked

 

[smogsy]

will do update sometime over the weekend little busy tomorrow that's for sure

 

[smogsy]

updated with nvidia gamestream

 

[smogsy]

cool will do this section soon research to be done!

 

[smogsy]

got 7 days off so could update this whilst waiting for games, what should i update?

 

[smogsy]

any others rather do 3-4 features at once rather than one

 

[smogsy]

updated

 

[smogsy]

thanks, please post if you want me to add something else

 

[smogsy]

it was quite fun to make

 

[smogsy]

updated with Dynamic resolution scaling will do MFAA soon

 

[smogsy]

may do some updates for sure around tressfx will most likely do it along with MFAA so 2 in one bundle. not to much real benchmarks on MFAA though as its not out

 

[smogsy]

go for it

 

[smogsy]

Top man. You could always post it yourself if you wanted?

ill come along later, but post it yourself having too much fun with x99

 

[smogsy]

pretty sure their is not. updated with natasha dog suggestion.

 

[smogsy]

not much has been really tested yet but added in Nvidia Ansel & Multi projection video & detail.
