\"This article is reprinted from scolded baidu扯蛋loaded\" Radeon is a good video card, but is not a good GPU video card, since the time of AMD Radeon HD4000 provides a number of excellent products for gamers, HD5000/HD6000 series without losing NVIDIA product at the same level, performance, functionality, price, power consumption in areas such as both are very good.
AMD next generation HD7000 series, we have no doubt it will have better performance in 3D games.
But as a GPU, AMD products clearly inferior to many, does not support physical General computing performance than CUDA acceleration, Stream, software also supports GPU accelerated a handful, it has become of AMD\'s biggest weakness, and became objects of NVIDIA and NFan attack.
With the passage of time, AMD finally tasted the entrenchment of the bitter pill of conservative: when NVIDIA\'s CUDA computing course entering high school and Academy, Tesla into Supercomputing market, professional Quadro won 95% card market share when AMD Radeon can only swim in the area of 3D gaming, keep as it is hard for half. I think back to first put forward by AMD GPU general purpose computing concepts, but ended up in the hands of NVIDIA CUDA carried forward. Many people think that this is after AMD acquired ATI can hardly look after oneself, in fact, the root cause is that GPU architecture —— a traditional GPU based on 3D graphics processing is not suitable for large scale parallel computing, AMD GPU has a horror of theoretical computing capacity you can\'t release.
And NVIDIA G80 time completed a magnificent turning, and gradually perfect the hardware and software work together, make it essential for high performance computing accessories to GPU. The saying goes, good: misery knows no boundaries, and hold back, it is never too late, and not too late. AMD was finally codenamed Southern Islands (Southern Islands) in next-generation GPU, enable completely new architecture, AMD called “ Graphics Core Next&rdquo, (GCN, next generation graphics core), and as a revolutionary title.
This was after AMD acquired ATI GPU architecture for the first time in nearly 5 years to be “ have a fracture ” “ &rdquo operation;, while the core content of the structure is optimized for parallel computation of design. The AMD “ next generation graphics core ” compared to the five-year-old structure what improved? Parallel computing performance compared to its competitor NVIDIA has no advantage? 3D gaming performance will be the impact?
This article will provide you a full range of analytical, the text is interspersed with some principles of 3D rendering and video basics, and talk about those kind of GPU graphics and computing …… Continue to >> next [1th] [2nd] [3rd] [4th] [5th] [6th] [7th] [8th] [9th page] [10th] [11th] [12th] [13th] [14th] [15th] [16th] [17th] [next page] click on this page to read the full text
