Is this a joke?

Well, we can't say it is nonsense now and make fools of ourselves six years after when it can actually be 1140 times faster. Only time will show. They could be lying, they could not. But I do not want to etiher be sceptical nor optimistic. Just wait...

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, when games are utilizing the 3 new tessellation stages in DX11 pipelines, video cards will use 10x less memory bandwidth and memory. So if you combine the hardware AND software advancements, it may be possible. Still though, 570x faster is quite a number to reach for. They must be working with Intel to develop a new video card slot, or new setup altogether. Who knows... I wish I did :D

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 :)

that was an awesome read of what could be. To bad we are pretty far off. Also, what does this exactly mean: 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)

So people could change how time passes?

Well, if we look at the raw performance of calculations per second, even the geForce 3 GPU's were faster than the top-end Pentium4's and Athlon processors of the day as well. And just look at the rate of progress there has been for GPU calculations and capabilities. We go from where 640x480 was just a bare possibility with games in the 3dfx's heyday, to having GPU's almost capable of full-eye-candy 2560x1600 gaming by themselves. And in many ways, GPU's are significantly more complex than CPU architectures, and receive the most benefit from extreme parallelism. I wouldn't be surprised if it did get to that point.

Maybe electronic companies release things slowly so they can milk all the money from us. I think we could get that speed even quicker if we had enough demand ... and money.

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

Of 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.

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 :o

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...

then again, it could depend on how quickly we move into ray tracing. The computing power required to fluidly do ray tracing of any kind in real-time is far more than what rasterization (the current rendering method for 3d graphics in use for more than 20 years) has needed. So, if NVIDIA is hinting here (and it is a long shot) that they are going to be going seriously for hardcore ray tracing performance, then we may very well need that kind of GPU power in six years, if not sooner.

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.

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.

There 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

4870 has been out for how long, now? 2900 Pro has been out even longer and is on par with the 4870. 2900 Pro just ran extremely hot making it's life expectancy extremely short.
