Nvidia's DAWN

[DML1001]

Damn, has everyone else seen NVidia's Dawn demo, or at least the stills from it?

Looks a lot better than most CG movies that I've seen, including all the ones from pixar.

While the GeforceFX looks like an overpriced dustbuster to me, I am eagerly looking forward to some new cards from nvidia that will hopefully be able to produce this kind of detail without requiring 2 slots and a fan that sounds like a jet engine.

That said, did anyone scan the 2 page shot of dawn from the latest computer gaming world, or know anywhere else I can get it?

If I were a CG drawing, I'd hit it.

Edit - That being said, any way to run the FX techdemos on a DX8 card (gF4 Ti)?

- M4H

Have you see the hacked version where the clothes were removed? Pretty cool. Very detailed.

Alas, no as it makes quite heavy use of DX9 pixel and vertex shaders...

So that's how nVidia plans to convince people to buy an FX ...

Edit - I call shenanigans on the nude hack.

What name is the hacked one called on kazaa?

I'm holding out for the next gen cards that don't require power plugs. I wonder how much longer?

Yep, there's even a patch that removes the leaves covering her more rendered features

I still say shenanigns until I've got binary, source, or pics to prove otherwise.

There was a big thread in Video about this...... lemme tell you, its true... and, frighteningly realistic.

BTW, you CAN run the DAWN demo on your GF4 or GF3, using the latest drivers and the "emulator" put out by nVidia (the emulation is actually built in to all the drivers past 40.72's, the "emulator" just enables it)... runs at like <2 fps though.

remember when det drivers first came out for geforce 2 cards? and we were like WTF!!! my card's now insane!!!....hopefully same will happen w/ the FX card....i mean, geezes, much faster and better RAM...u'd expect something better by a large margin..but nop...marginally beats the 9700, and loses horribly to the 9800.....

Well at least nvidia has a head start on the 0.13 micron and the newer techs and stuff...fx is mainly a tech demonstrator and test bed IMO :beer::camera::sun:

Why can't ATI do demos with sexy girls? Instead we get a hairy ape!

lol so true last time i buy an ati card


ati also liked to use sexy male models in their advertising kinda odd eh?

 

[zsouthboy]

i found the thread i was looking for... i'm not going to link to it, as it does have nudity...

its at nvnews forum (nvnews.net)

if you go to the 4th or 5th page, a guy wrote a batch file that will do some things (heh)....

it actually has less memory bandwidth than the 9700 pro...

I don't suppose this will run on an ATI card?

Because ATi has the goods and doesn't need titties and butterfly wings to sell it!
