AMD has finally made something interesting? Winds are changing!

 

[eot]

I want to protect her hair.

Shampoo man

 

[spats]

I want to protect her hair.

I want to sniff it.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It makes ZERO sense to release some shitty screenshots of an exciting new feature that is almost only visible in movement aka in VIDEO FORM.

What the fuck, ATI.

Not a fan of new tech?

 

[blitzcloud]

Its almost 1:1 on how the hair flows, look closely, exact the same haircut, only different techniques

he means not even close because the fibers that make the CG model are individual, while this still has a "grouping" feel. But yeah, in this precise shot it's almost a 1:1 copy, except for the ponytail.

 

[Hokhoku]

Not a fan of new tech?

This is not new tech

 

[Router]

As long as it moves and reacts something close to hair then great. If it bounces around looking stupid...

 

[Eideka]

This is impressive tech

Fixed.

 

[derFeef]

This is not new tech

It is.

 

[Hokhoku]

Didnt Nvidia do it some years back?

Spoken like the uninformed.

1. I don't hope it looks anything like that behaviour-wise.
2. What game utilzed it?

 

[Takamura-San]

That's not the way that it's meant to be played

This is nothing new, but it's nice to finally see this level of hair rendering in an actual game. Never happened before.

 

[wilflare]

I want this in the next-gen Dynasty Warriors... tad hair effect

 

[Hokhoku]

So Tomb Raider implements it?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Is this only for the hair on her scalp?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Amazing. Now I'm tempted to pick this game up.

You'd be tempted to pick the game up for the hair physics, but not the universal critical acclaim the game itself has garnered.

Ok.

 

[woober]

Ok.

That too, but this thread has been about the new physics effect, so that's what I mentioned.

Ok.

Negative reviews have been banned until after release

 

[DieH@rd]

 

[Eideka]

Brillant.

 

[Salaadin]

So TressFX should work on Nvidia too? That is awesome. Im happy!

 

[FACE]

Is this AMD only?

Edit: Oh, someone already answered it.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Is this AMD only?

DX11 only (So no). Should be in OP

 

[Durante]

I wonder how terrible the implementation on non-AMD GPUs will be, and whether NV will bother to do driver-level code replacement.

 

[blitzcloud]

max payne 3 had amazing beards, but this is something else.

 

[Wiseblood]

Oh man, I hope CD Projekt Red uses this in Witcher 3.

 

[woober]

Oh man, I hope CD Projekt Red uses this in Witcher 3.

For the glorious Geralt beard and Triss hair.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Screenshots look good but that doesn't really mean much. I can't wait to see it animating. I really hope it works well on all newer cards, Nvidia and AMD. If it doesn't it'll never catch on and will be a waste of time, implemented in a few games because AMD incentivised its half-assed usage.

 

[ToastyBanana]

I want to sniff it.

You'll need this with the coconut shampoo addon pack.

 

[K' Dash]

I said wow.

It looks really, really great. Honestly I'm more impressed by this news than when the PS4 was unveiled.

What have you done?!

Spoiler

Me too

I preordered for PC as soon as it became available, I knew Eidos would not fail me.

 

[Eideka]

I wonder how terrible the implementation on non-AMD GPUs will be, and whether NV will bother to do driver-level code replacement.

On the forums a moderator claims it runs very well on his GTX680.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I wonder how will work on my HD6850....

Well at least a reason to get Tomb Raider PC....on a steam sale.

 

[Sethos]

Not surprised, while I'm an Nvidia man, AMD are very good at letting everyone use their technology usually. Nvidia does all the cockblocking.

 

[XxBlackHulkxX]

It's pretty believable since MS owns directx. I suppose they could easily hide certain features behind the xbox for a time. Very clever, MS.

I would be more hyped about this if I hadn't recently bought a gtx 660ti. I guess it will be cool when I'm ready to buy another videocard.

Ugh I'm in the same boat dude. Let's see how many multiplatform games uses this tech.

 

[Zarx]

awwww yea, now that's more like it lol

 

[eot]

What doesn't?

 

[Brad Grenz]

They cut back pretty significantly on compute performance going from Fermi to Kepler. Ironic, given the way they've crowed about their compute advantage for so long, only to sacrifice it right when it started to become useful for actual games.

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Welcome to Next Gen!

Will this also work on PS4?

 

[jimi_dini]

That much hair will require PS5.

 

[R1CHO]

What doesn't?

Physx?

 

[RoKKeR]

Man, that looks impressive as hell.

Steam sale, here I come!

 

[Eideka]

Physx?

No, Physx games at high settings run extremely well on my GTX670.

 

[R1CHO]

No, Physx games at high settings run extremely well on my GTX670.

Can you run Borderlans 2 at 60 fps with Physx High? That would be surprising.

 

[Eideka]

Can you run Borderlans 2 at 60 fps with Physx High? That would be surprising.

I can, easily.

The new Nvidia driver 314.07 improved my performance.

And it seems my GTX670 is not magical :
http://physxinfo.com/news/9653/borderlands-2-physx-benchmark-roundup/

Even a GTX580 can run the game at 60fps with Physx high, I was already very close to that with my GTX570.

Same goes for Batman AA/AC and Alice Madness Returns. Haven't tried Hawken yet.

 

[R1CHO]

Nice to know, i would try it myself.

I guess... still +100% performance drops for the effects is quite a lot.

 

[Durante]

Not surprised, while I'm an Nvidia man, AMD are very good at letting everyone use their technology usually. Nvidia does all the cockblocking.

Letting them use it, sure. But I wouldn't expect them to write their compute shaders in a way that works well on NV hardware (and I wouldn't fault them for that). Then again, I guess it's pretty hard to write ones that work well on GCN but totally suck on Kepler.

 

[Mononoke]

No, Physx games at high settings run extremely well on my GTX670.

The only game i've had problems with (in regards to Physx) is Arkham City. Even with 680 in SLI, i've had FPS issues.

But any other game that offers it, I've had no issues with it.

 

[Gbraga]

What is very well? If it's not 60fps I don't even care.
