Future of 3d Graphics

Posted by michael on from the rendered-pr0n dept.

zymano writes "Extremetech has this nice article on the future of 3d graphics. The article also mentions that graphic card gpus can be used for non-traditional powerful processing like physics. A quote from the article, "GPU can be from 10 to 100 times faster than a Pentium 4 and Scientific computations such as linear algebra, Fast Fourier Transforms, and partial differential equations can benefit". My question - If these cards are getting so powerful at computations then why do we need a Intel/AMD processor at all? Just make a graphics card with more transistors and drop the traditional processor..."

    Dear Worthless Penis

    I've been wanting to hack it off for days now, and, unable to verbalize my feelings in a manner in which you would understand, put the matter aside until I could conjure up a more focused thought to bear.

    In a nutshell, SHAVE DAMNIT! And another thing, if you feel like keeping that thing attached forever, then you'd better stop leaping out of my zipper and freaking me out.

    Your ever loving dominator.
    The last hand on earth you will ever have sex with.

    I was not the AC who took you down to the gutter where your pathetic attempt at a FP took you (did it add any value? was it amusing like TROLLKORE? was it even imaginative?).

    My |CHOICE| was to join AC calling your momma a bitch. You had the |CHOICE| to read it, sir.

    I AM dirrrrrrrrrrrty.
