Aileron Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Quite, staff here is always responsamable. You know, it isn't that ironic that it was created by gaming chips. If you think about it, most of the need in PCs for more RAM, better processors, Video RAM, etc. came primarily to accommodate more graphic intensive PC games which needed to compete with consoles. I mean, can anyone think of a business application for a 128 MB Video RAM card?

Aileron Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Technically a 3d engineering CAD diagram wouldn't need to be that pretty, though you have a point if you are talking marketing.
Samapico Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 It's not a matter of being pretty... it's a matter of having several thousands of items displayed at once on your screen. Try this with an integrated 32MB chipset, and your computer will just die.

Dav Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 I think that the demand the consumers put on modern gaming has forced people like sony to cinstruct super-powerfull processors. Whilst the inotial intention was for gaming, chips with that sort of power were always going to find other applications.
Dr Brain Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 At my research lab, we use graphics cards z-buffers to simulate machining.
Suicide_Run Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Anywho, back on topic: Watch somehow, the supercomputer will fail at some random point and people will start crying =)
Dav Posted June 21, 2008 Report Posted June 21, 2008 it will be superseded long before it fails, seems to never take long for the next fastest super computer to be made.
