Interesting read

 

[Mr Paul]

One good thing about nVidia is they always do better tech demos than ATI.

Nice find
I just hope it's a good card.ATI needs a bit of competition to help drive the prices down a bit

hair one should be similar to this

It's not that realistic, where's the split ends?

 

[Martini1991]

They've been showing these type of demo's for ages.
We're not going to see this type of technology mainstream for years..

While its a massive step forward - and implemented in a way thats realistic performance wise for actual game useage - you can see that its just simulating a relatively small number of clumps of hair (lots of strands effectively glued together) - all tapering towards the end, works well with low levels of motion tho and means its feasible to run the physics on the GPU...

Reminds me of the Nalu demo for the 6800, although naturally I would expect this to be more impressive.

Perhaps, but ATi's Pipe Dream demo for the 9700 Pro is still the best tech demo ever!

Yeah, but that wasn't done by ATI

I wish we'd get some real performance figures

5870+2%?

Have previous Nvidia tech demos been "patched" so they run on ATI hardware?

Always had Nvidia previously, but it'd be neat if these can be forced to run on the 58xx generation.

Impressive stuff but as others have said will be a while before we see anything like this in games. Crysis 2 may use some of the tech tho.

Only the Dawn fairy demo there were a few patches for that (see sig)

Also it seems the Medusa demo can be run on Ati cards http://www.geeks3d.com/20080705/how-to-run-nvidia’s-medusa-demo-on-ati-graphic-cards/

Demos, schemos.

I remember seeing a nvidia demo from years and years ago, demonstrating the card (just looked it up, it was for the Ti4*** series), round wheels being one of the features.

Eight years on, still waiting to see them in games!
