Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

It's a nice little memento mori kind of thing. No matter how wealthy and powerful you might be, you're not a rock star, and there are good reasons for that. You can buy cool things, but you can't buy cool.

Say you own a business. Would you rather sell to nerds living in basements who spend a few hundred bucks every few years, or Google, national labs, and startups swimming in VC money?

Is there a benefit to locking aspect ratio? Other than hiding things you don't want seen in cutscenes I guess

It reduces the number of test configurations and allows HUDs to be done in a lazier way.

Go with the single card solution - a 980Ti is about price and performance par with 970s in SLI. You just don't have to do the janky SLI stuff and am absurd amount of new releases don't even support it.

Definitely this.

A friend and I built our PCs at the same time and they're identical other than the GPU. We both started with 970s, I added a second one a few months later where he waited longer and just swapped out for a 980ti.

When SLI works perfectly, my system is a little bit faster than his up until the VRAM difference comes in to play. More and more often these days though there isn't SLI support. Some games use visual effect techniques which are simply incompatible with alternate frame rendering and thus will never work in SLI or Crossfire.

VR may redeem a SLI setup in the future with the one GPU per eye thing, but I don't believe that's supported in any of the first-wave VR titles so for now VR is entirely single GPU.



The monitor going dark thing, if you're using Displayport on that monitor try a new cable. The power pin being hooked up causes some monitors and GPUs to fight. Look for a cable without pin 20.

It's a different jacket than he worse at CES 2016 and 2015 so he must own a stockpile of kickasss black leather jackets. Can't really blame him though for that.

And yeah it's pretty awkward, kind of like Elon's presentations. Dunno why they don't just practice it, it's a skill that can be learned.

Edit: Oh poo poo they brought in The Woz!

Those nerds are their largest revenue source though since there are a lot more of them.

So does the IRAY thing actually render the full 3d scene in real time? When he spun the HMD around it seemed to only rotate and not translate in the space.

I dont know. The rendering required for say, the reflections in the concrete, suggest that it is possible to render in real time in motion as well. At what performance cost I dunno.

edit: I guess what I mean is the lighting processing required to show you changes in the reflections from moving your point of view isn't much different if the viewpoint physically moved in space as well. The only difference would be rendering the actual room itself which would probably be "trivial" compared to the lighting

edit: haha creepy, we taught computers to create art

I guess it'd have to be though, right? Otherwise it'd be functionally identical to the lite version that just pre-renders a 360 scene. Hmm.

Yeah that's pretty impressive how it can generate a coherent image.

I think they typoed this slide, that should probably say 15B transistors not 150B.

At least it looks like Nvidia hasn't just been sitting on their hands or doing ARM stuff for the last 2 years as we have been stuck with the 900 series for what feels like ages.

But... they ReTweeted it? https://twitter.com/nvidia/status/717403138790006784

It is certainly a MicDrop against Intel and their attempt to push into this market with lots of little x86 Cores... Not even close unless they have something major up their sleeve.

It has to be a typo even with the size and new process. Titan X is the same size die and has 8B transistors.

Still, holy poo poo.


edit: Anandtech on their liveblog thinks the 150B number might be including memory. Sounds plausible, I guess.
