The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
Nvidia hire in the help from the Mythbusters team to show the differences between a CPU and a GPU for graphical output. Not as boring as it may seem – theyve got robots, loud noises, paintballing, and paintballing-on-a-massive-scale.
Can’t believe that Mythbuster came to do such a thing for Nvidia…what the crap.And Nvidia how cheap can it be to hire those guys.
Actually, games using Direct X 9.0c and below can be run with Swiftshader, which allows the CPU to software render and preform shading calculations the same as the GPU, except its several magnitudes slower. At least it’s 50-100 times faster than Microsoft’s Direct 3D Software Rasterizer.
I have a video where I’m running Oblivion on a Pentium 4 Prescott w/ HT 3.2 LGA 775 @ 4 ghz at 640×480 lowest settings getting about 8-12 FPS. On i7, you should get like 80 FPS for the same thing.
All the new games now need a gpu cant work without it
@deluxedookie, the GPU not just pushes data out… it makes calculations. CPU doesn’t have to worry about ordering anything in memory that would be extremely slow. There exist DMA dude.
@cdbular
Duh. like i said before there 2 different thing.
when you have 200+ core and 1GB of to your self yeah its gonna be faster than a sole CPU who has a co-processor to help it out since everything is put out in order compared to all at the same time. CPU also has to process what comming from the GPU, GPU just pushes out the data and before anything can happen the CPU has to put the current data in place.
i just happen to to speak before i though about ISA.
@deluxedookie encoding/decoding is nothing??. Well an average dual core cpu (a core 2 duo at 2GHz) struggles to play H.264 video at 1080p. This task is a piece of cake for an integrated GPU like radeon HD3200, which is a very low end video solution.
@deluxedookie, A GPU cannot be used as a CPU because it is not efficient at processing sequiential tasks. There are many applications that cannot be spreaded in many tasks. GPU is much more efficient and much much much faster processing tasks that can be spreaded in many tasks such as REAL TIME HD 3D rendering, HD video encoding/decoding and scientific applications. In summary.
CPU: Better executing highly sequential tasks.
GPU: Better executing highly paralelizable tasks.
@deluxedookie, a processor can do it but is much less efficient. The parallel nature of a GPU architecture allows to process those tasks much faster.
@cdbular
there gotta be a reason why they dont use them as a CPU or AMD would just make radeon CPU’s we’ll see what happens when the 128-bit windows 8 and/or other os’s pops out. yeah cpu slower in the tests.
@cdbular
physics and scientific applications,any processor can do that its math. encoding/decoding is nothing.

ISA = industry standard architecture, also mean that my bad wasent thinking.

@deluxedookie , GPUs can not only do graphics. It can do video decoding/encodng, physics and scientific applications… you need to read a little my friend.

@deluxedookie , ISA is Instruction Set Architecture. Do you really know what you are saying? XD…

@cdbular
ISA is only 16bits & 8mhz max no way is that comming back its dead and gone usless on todays software.
they dont mean parallel port they mean something like have raid 0 on a HDD, or a dual/quad processor working with its other cores.

@cdbular
there 2 completly different things cpu does everything gpu is just graphics in simple terms.

Wait, I could see in the barrels that Monalisa’s image was pre-set, there were the right-colored paintballs in the barrels and the compressed air propelled them into the board.
A good GPU would have 6 aiming barrels with different colored paintballs connected to the air tanks by lots of hoses, which could rapid-fire. The controller board would have the image stored in an SSD, and would draw it from top to bottom, just like a real GPU.

@R4Zy3L ,
1-Because intel won’t give nvidia an x-86 license.
2- Nvidia has no experience developing CPUs.
3. Developing a CPU requires architecture requires much more tweaking and depeloping effort than a GPU.
4. If they try to use a new ISA they will have little software support, and will not be backwards compatibility.

I wasn’t saying to get rid of the CPU. I was wondering why doesn’t nVidia make CPU’s as well.

@TheGreatAndyChow , well real time 3D rendering of HD graphics is not a task that a CPU can handle, since its highly paralelizable and its executed much more efficiently in a GPU which by te way provides 20x potential processing power than the fastest PC CPU.. But as you said this highly parallel architechture is only efficient at few tasks, graphics processing is one of them. There are many other scientific applications, but those are not performed by a normal user.
