Came across this today and it may be of interest to modders using 3dsmax http://www.nvidia.com/page/gelato.html

I've yet to do a comparative benchmark, but this looks promising. Has any 3dsmax users have experience using this?

Not yet, but now youve pointed it out, im gonna use my little bros SLI system to try it on R4.2

quit rubbing my x600 mobile in my face....

*curses his intel chipset on the laptop and the r9600xt in his desktop*
*wonders if there's a comparable ATi thing*

[Scooby_Doo]

hahaha

*curses my Geforce 2* can't even get updated drivers anymore LOL

[pecenipicek]

*curses 3dsmax for not working*

Hmh.. the upcoming G80 is supposedly the first dual-core GPU, I wonder what kind of horsepower it would add to rendering...

[Turambar]

probably, approximately a ****load
that's just an estimation

[Flipside]

Yup... 3 weeks after I buy an ATI. Just my luck :/

[pecenipicek]

did anyone test this? until i repair my installation of 3dsmax i cant do ****.

[Colonol Dekker]

Nope not yet, Waiting on a new Rig,

[pecenipicek]

*throws in a correction*

Modern GPUs are already multicore as we define the term as independently working peices of sillicone, each Pixel shader/vertex shader is very much it's own core embedded and connected to the rest.
I havn't heard much on the G80, but I doubt it will actully be two cores on the same die. It'd be insanely wasteful of nVidia.
