I think you need to read the post again:

It looks fantastic. Only Gforce 6 users can enjoy it in full 3D while ATi users will see the effect simulated in 2D. Download this little demo here!

That sounds a lot like sm3 vs sm2 to me. Maybe if I replace ati and nvidia with sm2 and 3, it will help you.

I really hate people talking about sm3.0. I think everybody nows what it is, so is there really any reason that people have to keep posting this junk? I'm sick of people saying that nvidia cards are completly superior to ati ones becuase of sm3. It's just stupid.


What????? You man have some kind of problem. No way am I saying ATi will look horiible, or making a SM2.0vsSM3.0 thread. ATi cards will show it in 2D while Gforce 6 will do it in 3D, that's only what happens, what do you want me to say?? Not in 3d?? :|

Agreed...notice he didn't say "GeForce 6 will look better than ATI X because GF6 has SM3.0!one!1"
That would be an opinion and possibly a flame-war trigger. He's merely telling you a system requirement. If you have an ATI X card, it doesn't fulfill the requirements. The truth must be real hard to swallow for some, I guess. No, I don't have anything against ATI at all. It can probably do a good simulation just using SM2.0.

it DOES look nice in simulation.
Q:What the hell is wrong with this?
Only Gforce 6 users can enjoy it in full 3D while ATi users will see the effect simulated in 2D
A: NOTHING!
And you guys missed the thread [yesterday] where lavaheadache called everyone that disagreed with him on SM3.0 being 'useful' - "idiots" - right in the topic's title.:p
:roll:

Video is to GH what P&N is to OT
:thumbsdown:

get a life, fanboys

me - i'm off to work - OUTside! Beautiful day.
:)

Okay, I'm sorry for writing nvidia instead of Geforce6. I'll fix it for you. :p

Great, enjoy your tech demo. And when the games come out in a year we will all enjoy it with new video cards, I have no doubt the SLI owners will upgrade when a DX10 part hits thwe shelves that is 2X as fast, cooler, single slot, etc.

Hello...I'm a little late, but i saw this demo with a 9600, and it looks like ass. Now, i know that you can do better with SM2.0 (far cry water), but this shows what displacement mapping can do.

I don't see why everyone gets mad at these threads...ATI cards cant use this yet, 6xxx cards can...is there a problem with that? Does everyone have trouble accepting that SM3.0 might be a very good thing?

I'm confused

Nice demo though, it looks REALLY nice...can't wait for games to really use SM3.0 now.

I'm a fanatic because I called leadtek fans lound? :confused: Don't most people consider them to be fairly loud (or at least louder than the other brands)?

No, most people do not consider Leadtek fans loud at all. That's because leadtek always use very large heatsink assemblies on their cards. They had one of the quietest GF FX 5800's around because of their heatsink/fan design. I can speak from experience when I say their GF3 cooling was excellent as was their GF4 cooling (sold many GF4 4200 + VIVO's from Leadtek back in the day).

Alright, I guess I was mistaken then. I had read in some other threads that they were loud.

what does that have to do with anything related to SM3.0??????

just what I was thinking.

wow the water graphics on this demo look incredible. if any non-SM3 card users want to see SM3, I can take a screenshot for you.

Dude, if it sickens you, just stay out of the thread. Pretty simple.

It's a fact. The bold words are nothing but the truth. I don't see what's wrong with that statement. It may not have been worded in the best way possible, but it's still the truth.

Your not really helping.

You're damn right. You say that as if it's a bad thing. LOL. Unless ATI has something with more features than any NV card.

And what was your contribution to ending this flame war? Me and dug777 stopped now I think it's time for the rest of you to stop. What I said in a previous post does not necessarily reflect my views now. I said it wasn't worded in the best way possible, but is generally the truth. Non-SM2.0 cards will run in a simulated mode.

Have a beer. :beer:

My contribution? How about not adding to it. But, I'll buy you a :beer: back. Plus, how things are worded really doesn't matter. Imaging having to be politically correct when your talking video cards. It is what it is.
Cheers.

I have to agree.

These ati vs nvidia threads you people create just make you look like idiots.

Lets get serious, mcarra got bored and felt like creating a flame war.

Thanks for your support Humey.


More support here. To the naysayers: If you don't care, then don't read.

EDIT: Looks fantastic. Wonder how it would run in a scene.

why the fvck do you need support :p

that was a blatant and pointless nef :| How are they gunna get your msg if they don't read your post?

Maybe consider the topic of the thread :shocked: rather than spanking your monkey over sm3.0 ;)
