At a press conference June 16, 2008, in San Francisco, AMD demonstrated a milestone achievement in ultra-realistic and interactive visual computing through the processing power of its forthcoming teraFLOPS (trillion floating point operations per second) graphics chip, codenamed “RV770”. - PR

Rendered in real-time and interactive, this is a brief video from the first Cinema 2.0 demo, premiered by AMD in San Francisco. The interactive demo was rendered by a single PC equipped with two "RV770" codenamed graphics cards powered by an AMD Phenom™ X4 9850 Processor and AMD 790FX Chipset. The full demo shows cinema-quality digital images rendered in real-time with interactivity.

I'm a total sucker for virtual cityscapes. Are there high res shots anywhere? The video link on amd.com doesn't seem to be working for me for some strange reason..

Save it for the PC, as far as I'm concerned this generation it just hitting its groove.

A groove which doesn't include 1080p at 60fps? I thought that was one of the main points/failures of PS3/360. Delivering a "true HD" experience, yet people are so quickly content to settle for merely better than 480p.

then again most people can't tell the difference between 640p & 1080p on their HDTVs anyway, along with 30 fps & 60 fps

Anyone have a link to the video in HD mp4 or mov format, this one kinda flops on my Mac.

unrelated, but am i the only one that doesn't like how fake 60fps looks? looks way too smooth to me. give me a locked 30 fps and I'm a happy camper

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Now that's how you make a tech demo! Yeesh, nVidia's Medusa looks like utter shit in comparison (although it was pretty meh to begin with).

Amazing stuff, though still abit far away (for us mortals).

PCs are always more powerful than consoles. What exactly is your point?

I would gladly give up some graphics, to keep my game experience on a console. So much easier to use and all the series I like are console based.

"Some" is a pretty big understatement.

I love the ATI/NV compeition. NV has had the lead for a while, but man the new Price/Performance ATI is going to put out is fantastic.

I'm calling bullshot until this level of quality is witnessed real time, in-game, with physics and everything else going on, and not to mention at a solid framerate. Techdemos are interesting for five minutes, and then you realize that you really don't interact with them at all, and do not represent what the mainstream consumer expects out of the product (hint: nobody drops hundreds of dollars on new GPU's just to watch new techdemos unless you are some PR freak).

Maybe in 5-10 years. I do not see games looking like this anytime soon. Impressive that we are one step closer to getting there, though!

"Hurrr" what? Time and time again we all fall for it. Since the PSX T-Rex demo. :D Everything from games in development to techdemos, they fail to represent what you get in a real-time game environment.

This is an impressive leap forward, but how profound it'll really be for real-time applications has yet to be seen. This is the point I'm trying to make. When you do a techdemo you can devote pretty much every single resource to it.

I think its more the fact what you posted is pretty much common sense and doesn't need to be specifically pointed out....

inner-g and Ysiadmihi's little exchange seems to make me think otherwise. True, PC graphics have already outdone the consoles and will continue to do so, but I don't think you will see anything that much more significant by the end of this gen.

Why isn't the total ruby tech demonstration video showing full interactivity with the environment (in hd) out on the net . All we have is a shitty 5 second utube quality vid.

not everyone is failing the 1080p 60fps target on current consoles. GTA5 prologue is 1080p 60fps, so is super stardust HD. there are others. its just a matter of developers being talented enough, which unfortunately seems to be getting more and more rare.

Maybe I would have been more impressed if they didn't have lame fake blur and all that going on. The Cryengine Bravia ad redone was more impressive.
