Flyby Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 How do they really stack up against one another in capability? Maybe this Tweaktown article can clear the haze a bit in the two alternate GPU universes of AMD and Nvidia. I wonder which coding priority DCS plans to use in it's future engine. Here's a quote from the article: "Now, what does all this have to do with your gaming? – Well, it comes into play when you consider how game engines are coded. If the game code is all small and simple instructions, then the AMD GPU has a very large upper hand, even considering the faster speed of the NV shaders. If the game code is in complex and bulky blocks then AMD only has 320 stream processors that can execute that code and then at a significantly slower speed. This problem has come to light more and more in the world of GPGPU computing, but is also starting to show up in gaming situations."

Silent Warrior Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 So... For the time being, if developers adhere to the KiSS-principle, AMD 0wnz j00. If physics become the bee's knees, it looks like Nvidia is on top. But in five years, who cares, anyway? :) Any objections?
