Yep, fully understood, it's just the end of the line in PC side should probably indicate "switched to embedded/mobile" rather than completely exited the market for some of these. Oh, and Bitboys DID have a working PC Pyramid3D card : )

3DLabs "leaving graphics market" is not entirely accurate - Ziilabs is still around in embedded space. I guess mobile side with the likes of Ambarella, Qualcomm/Adreno etc would need its own chart entirely. Oh, and Trident still has some stuff going on on embedded side.

This entire "golden era" thread is missing the best evar graphics card conceived in these times. http://techbuket.net/161 10GB of LMNOPRAM dont lie.

How many real OpenMax DL implementations are actually out there ? Theres one from ARM, but for x86, MIPS, PPC ?

Old thread, but i cross googled some stuff and found this: Tigsource recently ran an indie Procedural Game Contest Results here and a nice short review here. Some neat ideas in there, should probably try out a few of these games.

Absolutely, when he is talking about rockets.

Full job description: http://jobs.skype.com/2008/05/technical_lead_devices_ui.html Undestanding silicon is a strong plus, c++ coding skills and embedded experience required. Background in 3D helps a lot. Im working in the same team, contact me with any questions about the nature of the job...

I recall a Matrox EMBM demo with fairies flying around on meadow which refused to run on my GF3 ( IIRC ) because it did vendorstring check at startup. a couple of bytes of patching later it ran fine, although menu fonts were weird.

im barging in in the middle of long discussion but .. can anyone summarize in simple terms why doing GI using low LOD geometry, like physics proxies, does not work ?

Just as an aside, MS upcoming CNG ( cryptography next generation ) provides for lots of easy hooks for hardware acceleration of basically any crypto op. Coincidence ?

So aero is going to keep my GPU busy for all the eyecandy right .. now has anyone checked what the GPU temperature/fan speed are going to be under extended normal desktop useage compared to XP ?

I'd like to see Sims on that engine .. :roll:

Sure about that ? How about particles, are those handled through tris too ?

Huh, there were Y-Wings ( Koensayr BTL-A4 Y-Wing Attack Starfighter ) A-wing ( Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 A-Wing interceptor ) and B-wings (Slayn & Korpil B-Wing Fighter ) but not Z-wings.
