2X THE PERFORMANCE, 3X THE EFFICIENCY
>just because one thing is possible another unrelated thing must also be at the same time.
>>54843105
landing a rocket takes relatively little computing power, and it was done on billions in government funding, cards by nvidia are affordable so that almost any pleb can buy them
>>54845235
>billions in government funding
>implying
>>54843105
let's see how that $200 beast of a GPU Polaris will do
>>54845408
you think eloan memesk is paying for it out of his own pocket?
>>54846599
Developing the falcon 9 cost less than a delta v heavy launch
>>54846935
who gives a shit why do you shitkids have such a boner for elon musk kill yourself
>>54847112
Sorry you don't want to follow the saviour humanity needs to finally get us off earth anon
>>54847112
so are you bailing on your "gov't money" argument or what
>>54847112
>>54847225
i'm not a musk nerd so i don't know the exact figures but you probably know how much money they've received all in all and i bet it's in the billions
BUT GUYS VR OPTIMIZATIONS
>>54847288
The only government money they've received is through nasa contacts and from the airforce to develope their new upper stage engine (raptor)
>>54847355
>they haven't received billions in government funding
>except for those billions received from the government agencies nasa and the ariforce
>>54847430
Well not direct is my point, the mass contracts are for ISS resupply missions it's not like they just get the money for free
>>54847626
Nasa*
>>54843105
>Nvidia can't make a GPU that maxes out 4k. . .
and keep it in the consumer electronics marketplace.
FTFY
>>54847626
>it's not like they just get the money for free
you don't know how government contracting does do you

There's a big difference from getting a government handout to being a government contractor. The latter is an actual job.
>>54847288
>don't know exact figures
>trying to make an argument using figures
You're a fucking retard.
>>54847757
i know it's in the billions
and landing a rocket isn't all that fucking hard fucking kill yourselves
any nerd with enough tax payer money could do it
pretty sure they could, they just dont feel like they need to
>>54847784
You realise that even if you get your rocket to the landing site even at the lowest throttled thrust the M1D engines thrust to weight ratio is insane by that point so if the engine doesn't cut out and the rocket is down at the exact right moment then it'll start to take off again
>>54847750
Pretty sure with the CRS contract they only get paid after a successful mission but I could be wrong on that one
>>54847996
either you are musk or an engineer or you are wasting your life jerking off to this nerd shit
>>54847703
Sureeee buddyyy
>>54848371
fucking retard they have real time ray tracing shit for the automotive industry and such
>>54843105
they can but you can't pay for it
>>54848528
Haha, whatever gives you peace you feel me man hahaaa
>>54848926

Literally fake
>>54845235
It actually uses a ton of computing power spread over many computers.
>>54849116
not sure if trolling or just retarded

not him looks decent, but I can still easily tell it is computer generated when it is still.
>>54849141
Nope, you might think that because all of the backup systems and weather, preduction, etc but actually your old Pentium 4 could easily calculate the landing in real time and get it to the ground.
>>54851068
but my point is that it's possible to get more graphics horsepower than you get from a $600 consumer card. on the demo they had 1 petaflops which was half a billion worth of computing power just some years ago
