yet another Titian - Titan V CEO Edition

LOL you must be one of the few people to even remember that (even though it wasn't that long ago).
Only a few months ago IIRC
Funny how it's not mentioned much anywhere, Being a compute focused card you'd have thought it was an important issue to get resolved/sorted.
nVidia CEO is a liar.please explain.
Soldato
What has he lied about?
Soldato
I misread the title and though it was Titan Versus CEO Edition 
Not sure where you would start. Quite a lot.
Soldato
You seem like the kind of guy who would keep a record of all of them, link away.
The best one was he invented the GPU.

Lol.

After doing a cruise 2 weeks ago and a long weekend trip to Hemsby, I am skint but nothing a CC can't handleDon't have money!!

That Ngreedia lied about THIS VERY CARD about ?? Interested as I have not read any lies about this new Titan.
Permabanned
Generally yes but not heard any lies about THIS card.... Yet link me some Titan lies
This is the actual claim http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/geforce256.html it isn't an outright lie - though it isn't wrong to call pre-GeForce cards GPUs they technically don't (ignoring some aspects like tris rates nVidia seems to have made up as the definition of a GPU) have the full functionality of a GPU but do provide some subset of that functionality.
Before the GeForce and later cards if you wanted to do much in the way of manipulation of the data you had to download it from the GPU (or keep copies in physical memory, etc.) process it then upload it to the GPU again - with the GeForce onwards it was possible to do much of this in hardware on the GPU.

Ye i remember AGP times when it was good jump in performance with every revision due to constant cpu memory graphic card data jumping for processing.
Nowadays much less of that. Just look at pcie8 vs pcie 16 like 2% performance difference
It's a lie. He never invented the GPU. That claim could be made by hundreds of firms.
Of all the nVidia lies that is one of the least problematic - Jensen Huang initially under AMD (where he was a microprocessor designer) and later at nVidia was instrumental in creating what is ultimately a proper GPU - while earlier graphics processors might have been called GPUs in name they all had only a subset of the functionality of a true graphics processor in hardware and relied on software doing a lot of the actual processing. I mean its a bit of an inflated claim but not without some merit.
Though if you want to be really picky about it then GPUs weren't complete GPUs until the unified shader model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_shader_model
It is a popular belief that NVidia, did make the first GPU, although video cards had been around for a long while, before that and even the term GPU had been used before. Having said all that the Geforce 256 was the first consumer GPU to feature hardware accelerated transform and lighting, hence why NVidia can lay claim to inventing the GPU.
It's the most laughable claim.
Nah the one here that is laughable is you - unable and unwilling to engage with proper debate of the subject.
With the 256 a lot of stuff was put in hardware as fixed function pipelines that could be purposed for hardware processing of graphics though transformation, clipping and lighting were the big claims though outside of I think Max Payne not many games or applications used those features until at least another generation or two. But still the hardware functionality was there to use.
Though in some ways I think the 8800GTX was the first complete GPU as it enabled a complete reprogrammable shader pipeline which meant even quite arbitrary graphics processing could be done in hardware and we really saw graphics take off once graphics cards supported the unified shader model.
