NVIDIA REKTS ALL GPU IN THE WORLD
>>53538260
Fake. Gtx 1080ti will have hbm2 Its gonna be the same as always (780ti-titan black, 980ti-titan X)
this is odd but welcome. what consequences could this have for physx support on AMD and Intel GPUs?
Only partially open.
But at least it's something.
>>53538145
>yfw they will remove all the nvidia specific proprietary shit from it first
>Now it seems that with the Release of GameWorks 3.1 Nvidia is moving to become more Open with GameWorks, having announced that PhysX, PhysX Clothing, PhysX Destruction, Volumetric Lighting and Nvidia's FaceWorks Demo are now all available with Source Code on Github, with HairWorks, HBAO+ and WaveWorks being added at a later date.
>This move makes Nvidia's GameWorks a lot more similar to AMD's GPUOpen, though all of Nvidia's Tools and libraries will not be available to the public with souce code from the start, though Nvidia do say that they intend to release the source code for "most or all technologies over time".
Good news but it's not every piece of goymworks just certain pieces. There might be some licensing stuff holding them back
>>53538506
Nothing at all actually. I understand gamers want to think that this is some groundbreaking move that will suddenly mean that the GW suite will run as smooth on competing products, but that's just not reality.
>>53538645
One of AMD's criticisms of gameworks was that they couldn't get access to the source code to make it not suck on their cards. This at least helps with that
>>53538145
>allowing access your butthole
>not allowing access your real moneymaker
Come on, nVidia. You have to take in two to advance.
>>53538645
It won't, but AMD and Intel can mitigate the impact by seeing what pieces of hardware certain features utilize and obviously optimize.
based nvidia
>>53538145
literally based. especially happy about hbao+ one of main reason I stick to nvidia - AMD simply doesn't have an option to force it
>>53538675
It helps quite a lot with that
>>53538754
That's not on the list of open source stuff for some time yet, anon. But yes, it is about damn time that Nvidia starts being a little more open.
I think they've realised that public image isn't with them as much as it used to be, after the recent 3.5 plebgate and HairWorks fiascos.
Not enough to make me support Nvidia again, not by a long shot (I haven't owned a Nvidia card since the GT220, admittedly) but its a start.
>>53539394
It's only good news for people with AMD cards I would say
>>53540314
Not true. Its good for developers too.
The more they can understand about what they're putting into games, the more they can work to optimise it for ALL players.
The more they can customise the code; turn off (or down) features they don't need/want, the more performance they can get.
The more they understand, the more they can adapt.
>>53538696
looks like a shitty miku ripoff
Based nvidia always being the good guy. Pascal needs to hurry up so I can give them my money.
>>53540509
It's not as open source as Nvidia would like you to believe. Tthe code isn't licensed under a free software license or even a permissive one. You're free to use their source code for as long as they allow you to but they can terminate the license at any point.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/FaceWorks/master/license.txt
>Term: This License is effective until terminated. NVIDIA may terminate this Agreement (and with it, all of Developer's right to the Materials) immediately upon written notice (which may include email) to Developer, with or without cause.
>>53540544
What does this have to do with my post?
>>53540691
Nvidia being the good guys. I know your post was in jest, but I HAD to post what good goys they really are.
I mean, they're just poor old goys too, anon ;^)
>>53540710
I still don't see what hbm2 or bandwidth has to do with them being good guys or not.
>>53538145
But if it's publicly available how will fanboys blame "secret code" now?
That's like all they had going for them
GoyWorkshop
>>53540771
Did you not follow the tech industry news when 3.5 was discovered? The way Nvidia kept quiet about the issue for so long; denying any existence of faulty memory, THEN trying to claim it was a feature and that people should be GLAD?
There's more they've done, but that's just one of the easiest things to pull up.
>>53538145
They only put the things that don't gimp cards any more in the repo while make new gimps that are closed source. Once people figure out how to ungimp the new stuff, they will open source it.
>>53540771
>lie about the specs of your GPU

>>53540937
Literally the only reason why AMD are good guys is because they can't afford to be bad guys. The second they can they will. That's business for you, did you honestly think they gave a shit about how much you defend them
10 cents have been deposited into your bank account BTW
>>53541072
So you are saying that as if it's something bad for supporting AMD?
You are the faggot that denies he is a faggot but doesn't want to take the dick out of your ass because you believe that some other dick would end up in it the second you take it out. But really, it's because you are a faggot and you like the dick currently up your ass.
>>53541072
>well, AMD would be the bad guys if they could so we should stick with the evil we know
Fuck off you humongous faggot

pretty much this. id hate to see amd on top because theyd keep selling us shitty hot and power hungry cards. atleast nvidia are selling nice cool and efficient cards even if they are being jews about goyworks.
Will this increase my FPS in league of legends?
>>53538145
Now we will find out all of nVidia's software tricks to make up for lack of hardware which makes their cards "efficient."

When people say 3.5, they're not referring ONLY to the good side of it all, you fucking retard.
>>53540671
Not to mention this is all old shitty libraries that nobody cares about. All their newer shit is closed source.

whats the catch?
>>53541774
For devs this is kinda a victory but its not certain to last. Nvidia can end the license whenever they feel like it because it's not permissively licensed. Nvidia is just temporarily granting you access to their source code and the ability to distribute it under some conditions.
Brilliant move by Nvidia. With developers implementating Gameworks effects for free people will truly see how shit AMD products are.

For what purpose? Why? x64 tessellation is never necessary. Hell, even over x12 is rapidly depreciating results for loss of performance.
>>53541881
>over 300 fps in a heavy synthetic benchmark
this just shows how much nvidia pushes for things that are irrelevant and have to forcibly handicap all cards to even show their advantage.

Didn't they are just a couple of watts higher than their Nvidia counterparts?

AMD users are sub-human.
>>53542041
They will do in the newer cards.
>Needing to push up the tessellation past the level of 'extreme' just to try stop the competition looking good
So these means my 2 titans X will be useless in a year?
Fuck you nvidia.
>>53542041
Anything past a Tess level of 16 is pure placebo.
At least AMD has a Tessellation slider in their drivers where they can dial down that shit, unlike Nvidiatards that need to deal with gimped performance anyway
>>53542041
Tessellation isn't used only for perfectly rounded cockheads, you know.

meanwhile nvidia had the engine since 2010 and has been improving it for the past six years through hard work and dedication
>>53538260
Memory clocked at 8000mhz
Doubt it, officially the max rate is actually 7800mhz which was updated from 7010, so yeah evne though Maxwell cards could clock 8000mhz memory the official for better binned GDDR5 chipsets is actually 7800mhz.
>>53538145
>It's only half the features
>It's only old features
Smoke and mirrors. The real performance killers will remain closed source until they are outdated and replaced by newer performance killers.

So, Gee. If I wanted to build a gayman rig for about $650, what graphics card would be the best choice for a 1080p display?
Do would an Intel processor and an AMD card cause any issue?
>>53538509
oy vey.
they'll find out our amd gimping codes.
>>53542164
All maxwell cards use Samsung chips now which clock ridiculously high.
>>53542258
>there must be a reason why amd's marketshare is 18%

>>53542260
Yes, but the official max rate is still 7800mhz which means Nvidia would be selling overclocked chipsets.

>>53542319
It's actually 30%. 18-19% is just current sales, which at the end of the 28nm generation makes sense. Only Nvidiots would buy outdated GPUs this close to a new generation.
>>53542474
Even more if you think about it since they've been selling the same shit since 2012/2013.
>>53542474
>>53542474
>Only Nvidiots would buy outdated GPUs this close to a new generation.
People bough the 290 TWICE though.
>>53542592
nah, people bought the 290 once and it still runs great, people bought 780s and are getting rekt by new software and need to upgrade already
>>53542647
People bought the 290 upgraded to a homeless shelter after it burned their house down
nvidia sells more cards because it's users need to upgrade more often because of card gimping
>>53542734
amd doesn't sell more cards.
>>53538145
So releasing the source code will show the public how it utterly gimps AMD cards? Just let me get a seat and popcorn
>>53538145
>AMD does the OpenGPO bullshit
>Nvidia does it better

Man, Nvidia doing this is going to help the open source Linux drivers a fucking ton. This is going to be great.
>>53542860
They aren't release the parts that incriminates them..
>>53538644
Didn't AMD just do that?
>>53538675
No it doesn't. In fact, this is going to hurt AMD and the Linux drivers.
>>53541850
I'll get the source code and keep it to myself then and upload it on my own Github or something.
>>53542770
>nvidia sells more cards
Yep. That's what they said. Can't you read?
>>53538145
Thanks AMD for moving the industry forward once again with GPUOpen (like they did with Mantle, which resulted in Vulkan).
>>53538260
Is it going to be the first time a titan card actually beats a 80ti card by a noticeable margin?
>>53543050
Then you get sued
>>53543017
>Didn't AMD just do that?
They released stuff under a proper permissive license with no clause that allows them to terminate the license in the future.
>>53538145
>nvidia releases partial code that under a restrictive EULA
>people thinks this is good and open source
good job nvidia, you managed to trick more people
>>53538145
all of it? because nvidia is screwed in that case as AMD won't take a massive performance hit
>>53540937

Imagine playing in any other way than the way it's meant to be played.
>>53538242
As a software developer i cannot stress the importance of having low level open code. Having worked with many libraries, IDE's and embedded systems its a real pain working with a "Black Box". I'm glad AMD are trying to get something nice for the community to work with. Heck the whole thing is under the MIT license, people should show their support by buying their products, telling others about their importance.

What?
Is this a meymey or actually real?
I'm currently using my Radeon 7970 as a dedicated GPU in my Windows VM.
Does Nvidia actually gimp their drivers to not work in a VM with VGA passthrough?
Be wary of fake prophets.
