Is this a joke?
scary?
or nonsense?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
well its probably not goin to happen. Hes gotta be more specific, 570 times faster in what way? They definitely won't be 500 times better than current gpus in overall perspective.
well id say that the gtx295 is probly 100x faster than say a 5950 ultra, so with the new technologies that are coming out more and more rapidly that seems feesible
this could figuratively be far surpassed. the second somebody creates a 110 degree farenheit superconductor, the human race will begin spreading throughout the galaxy, we'll have virtual reality, we could travel through time, and we could make star wars guns and space ships. superconductors could make very light batteries capable of carrying a terawatt, and solar panels capabling of generating that in maybe 3 hours. this would allow us to pump enough juice into a plasma engine that it would work as well as the normal liquid fuels used in the shuttles and apollo. THIS would allow us to reach the speed of light, as well as travel to other galaxies, because a heatless, lossless, self perpetuating rocket can go as far as we want. as soon as we have basically limitless plasma engines (the HSO, and ISS both have plasma engines on board, but they're weak and only used for course correction) we can do whatever the hell we want, and computers wil be able to render realtime higher resolution than our eyes, at higher framerates, and with more complexities (IE, a world where the angle of reflection isn't opposite, but slightly off, resulting in everything appearing to be shapeshifting at whatever speed one set light to)
pretty sick eh. unfortunately, the hottest superconductor so far is incredibly expensive and runs at around -135 farenheit. (i think that's it... 144 kelvin.)
I'm no electrical engineer, but I did use semiconductors to freeze my CPU a few years back :P That sounds really awesome btw. I'll be sure to do some reading about the subject now :)this could figuratively be far surpassed. the second somebody creates a 110 degree farenheit superconductor, the human race will begin spreading throughout the galaxy, we'll have virtual reality, we could travel through time, and we could make star wars guns and space ships. superconductors could make very light batteries capable of carrying a terawatt, and solar panels capabling of generating that in maybe 3 hours. this would allow us to pump enough juice into a plasma engine that it would work as well as the normal liquid fuels used in the shuttles and apollo.

well
512 kb of ram use to be considered more than you would ever need, Now about 4 - 6gbs is standard (about a 7800 - 12000 fold increase)
and 10 mb hdds use to cost $3500+, man think of how many text files that bad boy can hold! (compared to a 1tb drive its about 100 000 times increase)
so stranger things have happened

That's over the course of 20 years...6 years doesn't mark that much of a gap.
technology is advancing exponentially, but I doubt it's going to jump to 570x better in 4 generations :P maybe 20-25x it's crazy trying to imagine a graphics card 20x faster than the current best gpus, that's insane :oOf course it's not true.
In 6 years we'll have 3 or 4 new generations of cards. Each new generation performs between 1.5 and 2.5 times faster than the older gen. In the best case we'll have cards 16x as fast as now.

Yeah I think like you too, even if nVIDIA release their GPU twice (2x) faster every year the calculation goes 2-4-8-16-32-64... so in 6 years it will 64 times faster than today... But there is possibility nVIDIA can reach 500+ times faster in 6 years IF they release their GPU twice (2x) faster every 9 months the calculation goes 2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512... By the way the one who's talkin' is Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang so there's very small possibility it's not true...Of course it's not true.

if they run that fast in six yeares, then we'll be seeing life like games =O also they could be free roam...

Its one thing to make the cards. It is another to make the software.
Look how long it has taken WoW to get where it is.
After looking around to find the source of this rediculous story, I think I now understand where it comes from.
The 570x probably refers the projected usage of Nvidia-based GPU's for non-graphic related processing (like CUDA), in other words the GPU assisting and getting more integrated with the CPU.

Did you also say that when you compared I7 975 to Pentium? Isn't it "a lot" faster? Nobody thought there could be anything better than 12MHz processors at one time, and look at today. You people need to be a lot more open minded.

16x in 6 years is exponential
Compare a 8800GTX to a GTX680, or a 3870 to a 7970. In terms of raw processing power, 570 times faster is easily possible. That doesnt mean 570 times faster frame rates, thats a different measure entirely.Brean24There stronger by a considerable amount sure but now way there 570 times stronger in raw power there not that much stronger even compared to the current console minus the wii there not 570 times stronger.
the 3870 compared to a 7970 is about 20 times weaker...so yeah that 570 number is way off. Anyways, this was a worthy bump, bump it up again in 2015
