Nvidia snaffles ATI's 3Dc idea

Where one leads, t'other will shurely follow

IT TURNS OUT that Nvidia recognised ATI's 3Dc marchitecture as a good thing and decided that it wants to go down the same road.
In this phoney war between Nvidia and ATI the one tends to follow the other - just in case.

3Dc is a new compression marchitecture meant to increase the level of details in games. All ATI cards from X800 generation upwards have this capability and it turns out that new Nvidia cards are going to use it as well.

We believe the upcoming G70 has this support already, as it's taped out. It is the first compression technique optimised to use normal maps, allowing per pixel control over light reflection from a textured surface. In other words, it can look very good.

It's possible to use 4:1 compression which can lead you to four times more details without necessarily having four times the graphics memory. It won't affect your performance as, well, it's sort of free.

In a best-case scenario, if you have a 256MB card you should be able to use up to 1024MB of textures and this should increase the quality of your game tremendously.

3Dc is an open standard so Nvidia doesn't need ATI's blessing to use it.

We understand that game developers were asking for 3Dc in Nvidian hardware and now they will get it. µ

要不要順便把HyperZ也納入支援啊

這樣ATI就可以不用玩了 :laugh:

這樣才會讓ATI感到有危機意識!

相對競爭下~擦出更亮的火花~這樣才會有更好的技術讓我們使用丫!
:yeah:

ATi應該有HyperZ的專利, nVidia沒辦法直接用.

:D :D :D
如果申請向HyperZ的專利的話,ATI不知道要怎麼說... :jolin:

反過來解讀..
可見得ATI卡上的技術確實優秀...連對手都想學 :)

有點諷刺.......想當時在dx7的年代，nv還是業界的領導者，
還是他們開發新的規格，讓其他廠商跟在後頭跑，像是娛樂卡內建T&L運算功能，
dx8時代加入ps跟vs的設計，讓畫面更驚人.......

那就SmoothVision也把它拿過來用 :laugh:

ATI的明顯優勢不就在這個優秀AA反鋸功力嗎

這個再被NV拿來用就ATI真的沒啥優勢了

期待G70和R520的對決 :)

打不贏你，又沒有錢買下來，就通通的把你支援下來 XD

我是亂來的........................酸 :D

3Dc 是哪個技術啊? :ase 有人知道嗎?
