Seems needlessly vicious. Not everyone is a computer wiz.
That's the thing: I actually am a computer whiz.
Anyway, I understand all that, but nothing here explains that. All it says, as I explained to budzos, is CPU vs. GPU, not that rendering is involved or anything else. This creates the message that GPU's are just plain faster and not just at rendering graphics. Also note that this is from NVision.
CPU's with 8 cores are now hitting the market. The reason for this is because they have been hitting the peak of current architecture on single-core chips and still wanted to expand. The reason GPU's have been doing this for a while and not CPU's is because GPU's have a different functions than CPU's do. GPU's tend to do fairly simple floating-point equations (but a LOT of them), that's why you can fit 280 parallel stream onto a card like that. On the other hand, any other type of work is better calculated by the CPU. I understand all this, I understand what kind of point they were trying to make, but everyone who would grasp that from this video already KNOWS that. Anyone who didn't would just see "wow, video cards are WAY faster than processors. If my PC games are running slow, I just need a faster video card."
Bottom line: I get the idea, I just think it's badly presented, but still kinda cool to see that paintball gun.
It makes me sad that so many innovative platformers seem to be showing up on XBL (cuz I don't have an XBox). Also, has GameTrailers ever done a negative review?
I get the similarity, I just think the presentation sucks. Trust me: I remember when the first 3d accelerators hit the market, I know the difference between GPU and CPU rendering. The reason I say it seems like propaganda is because first of all, you are the first person to use the term rendering. The video title or captions in the video doesn't say GPU Vs. CPU video rendering, it just says, "GPU vs. CPU". Second, realize this is from NVision: nVidia's annual conference. Third, because of the way it is presented it makes it seem like they are trying to say that graphics processors are just plain faster than central processors.
I appreciate criticism for my comments, but not when I get it in the form of an unfounded statement that really says nothing objective at all. Saying, "you must be joking" is really not an argument at all.
In reply to this comment by budzos: Sure. It's dumb because of two things. First, a demonstration that GPU rendering is faster than CPU rendering is not "propaganda". It's a fact that GPU rendering is much faster. Do you also say that videos are "banned" when they are pulled from the air by the company who created them?
Second, the poster is making a joke. The presentation is not related to computers at all. If you know what "GPU rendering" means, which you must if you think this is "propaganda", I don't see how you can miss that painting with one gun is like rendering with the CPU, and painting with a 1000 nozzles at once is like rendering with the GPU. See now I feel dumb just for explaining it.
They all look stupid to me. Not giving a comment to a reporter isn't suppression of free speech. Sorry, you are a tool.
Yelling expletives and blocking the camera with middle fingers isn't effective either because anyone watching now just thinks you are looking for an excuse to riot. Quick, get the SWAT team. Seems it would have been much more effective to just ignore them completely so they would have nothing to report. Instead the story is that you're an ignorant mob who just tripped out of a mosh pit.
Powerful statement, but it's a good thing the VP doesn't do much. Seriously, Al Gore succeeded at the job. With that in mind, I think most hamsters could too.

I'd love to hear the explanation for this comment.

Cool project, but seems like propaganda to me. Why is that a GPU vs. a CPU?
Please be serious. It'd be awesome if you were that dumb.
