Hi Woops: 404
Wasn't a challenge to figure out.
[QUOTE=DarkPrince946;35432303]Oh, I remember someone asking why Workstation GPU's are more expensive than "normal" ones. The difference is that workstation GPU's are design for the type of maths in CAD ect. Whereas "normal" ones are for entirely different type of maths, or that's the way I understand it. The "normal" ones CAN do it but no where near as fast. With the time you would save, you could do more stuff, and still make more/similar money. Also the drivers are geared towards CAD ect. as well.[/QUOTE]
I was under the impression that standard gpus performed "meh, close enough" math while workstation cards were far more accurate in their processing at the expense of speed.

But that would result in CAD's taking longer time to render ect, would it not?
I'm 100% sure that workstation cards are faster in that type of thing.
this is irking the shit out of me
my laptop slows WAY down when not on AC
but everything related to "Battery Mode" matches the settings of "AC Mode"
If I want to play a game I don't way to be constricted to the cord 24/7
So I can run BF3 on Med/High with the AC in just fine but even Low struggles on battery

I'm sure they are faster in openGL applications and running specialized rendering techniques. But how do you account for the shit directX performance?

Hi.
No, I have decided to lurk, take notes on your guys posts, to be less of a shit poster.
found it out
even though I had it set to explicitly use dedicated graphics, it would switch to the APU on battery mode
[QUOTE=inconspicious;35433417]I'm sure they are faster in openGL applications and running specialized rendering techniques. But how do you account for the shit directX performance?[/QUOTE]
As I said, they work on a different type of maths all together, or thats the way I understood it.

this is a pretty terrible post so you're not headed in the right direction

Precisely. It's all in what math the drivers have it do, not what the hardware does. In many cases, you can trick workstation drivers into running on a gamer card (or vice versa, if you hate money).
Take, for example, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm]Bresenham's line algorithm[/url]. It's *fast*, even running on a plain CPU. Only problem is, it's aliased as fuck.
Now, look at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolin_Wu%27s_line_algorithm]Xiaolin Wu's[/url] line algorithm. Sexy beast - it's effectively perfectly antialiased. Seriously - it's only as aliased as your pixel depth. Problem is, it's much slower, mainly because it's almost all floating-point.
Thing is, it's faster to take Bresenham's ugly algorithm and run it at 8x the resolution, then downsample, than it is to run Wu's. So gaming drivers do that - they run Bresenham's algorithm, then multisample it or supersample it.
Workstation drivers consider accuracy more important. They'll use Wu's algorithm. It's slow, but you don't need 120fps when you're designing a space shuttle - you need to see if that line hits *here*, or half a pixel over *there*.

I have more dumb ratings that posts, that isn't good.
Thats why I'm lurking.

I understand it better now, thanks!
is that kai w from digitalrev?
no it's xaolin wu can't you read

GOD DAMNIT, FML. I got the "old" version of the external HDD from AMAZON. The 32GB Flash survivor from corsair was MUCH larger than expected, worse of all, I just bought a new 60Gb Agility 3 when the fucking Vertex 4's are coming out.

you're right, i'm a terrible racist and should be disregarded as a human being. thanks for opening my eyes to my wrong doings. i'll go cry in the shower and eat cookie dough icecream, then afterward touch myself while watching jason russel's smooth ass on tmz.
and later hang myself

It's a dead and unfunny joke, not to mention racist.
