wowwww!! Samples NEW nVidia OptiX!! but...

Introdution to new nVidia Optix - see http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-examples.html (your geforce 8 series (but I don't test yet) or better may work but recommended -> gtx260 or better or optimized -> new geforce Fermi (GF100 but not release yet until march))
I have samples optix and my 9800gt is fully tested but I got (very) slow because the ray-tracing is toooo heavy. sorry but you need register nvidia for access download -> http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-beta-survey.html

I will buy 2x gf100 SLi but only in my anniversary!!

 

You what?

 

wow it looks pure smooth

BTW, I think it only works on Quadro.

 

I tried running one of the examples (JulianSet) and was told I didn't have compatible hardware... it seemed to want a Quadro card, not my 295GTX's Upon further reading of the developer forum, it seems that the 196.21 WHQL driver has a problem with Optix and the 196.34 beta should contain a fix.

 

Optix engine is ray-tracing by via CUDA. Ray-tracing is shadows, reflections (as mirrors, glasses...)... universals.
I Iike toooo it!!

 

I don't get pure smooth because optix is too heavy but you reduce to too low resolution in windowed for get pure smooth. but do you remember me?

you do NOT need any quadro!! loool

 

wish they had the car one that will be shiping with fermi's.

 

because - http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-examples.html - stll need quadro only and you do NOT download this link!!! lool but YES -> http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-beta-survey.html (access new "Download Beta 1 of OptiX 2")

 

oops! sorry!
Beta System Requirements and access to download -> http://developer.nvidia.com/object/optix-beta.html

 

lol ricardo, we remember you well, you are the pure infinite smoothness guy
i cannot test it anyone with nvidia cards tested it? what FPS you get?

 

wowwww!! Samples NEW nVidia OptiX!! but... you need a quadro modded gpu or a quadro gpu.

I installed that Beta Software but can't launch any of these demos. Always tells me that I need a quadro card. What am I supposed to do?

 

Well get a quadro card.

 

it's incorrect. but you need register nvidia to access to download.

 

no!! you do download "Beta 1 of OptiX 2" (geforce 8 or better, quadro or tesla)

no! your gpu can work but only nvidia card because any ati radeon (hd2xxx or better) doesn't work CUDA!!!

 

it's normal you can't run because your radeon isn't supported by CUDA. you can buy geforce card.
I tested w/ fully functional all samples. I got between 15 and 30 fps (windowed w/ size default) on sample "Manta Scene".

 

I installed "Beta 1 of OptiX 2" and tried to launch some of the sample apps in there. but always gives me an error. Got a Palit GeForce 260GTX 216. Should do the trick, shouldn't it?

EDIT: It's a CUDA related runtime error

 

you need cuda toolkit and sdk 2.3 and geforce driver v190.38 or newer version.

I have xp-sp3 w/ 195.62.

 

i love your way of pointing out problems :bang:
i don't need nvidia card why would i downgrade back to DX 10?
i asked people with nvidia cards to test it and share their performance!
and it's not one Radeon it's two thank you very much
