Random Crap Logs: Log No. 2

School's boring. 7 people including me came today from my class

H1N1's hit my school hard. Or so they say.

An 8th grade class.

Mind you I'm still in Malaysia so the class name is gonna be retarded.

Here it is : 2 Dahlia

It's called 2 because Malaysia uses the retarded British school system which has long since passed.

The 2 stands for Form 2 where after the 6th Grade (which is called Standard 6 here. Really retarded), you start back all the way to square one. Number One.

Anyway. Explaination finished.

Rumors still spreading. My school was reported on TV. SMK Damansara Utama.

I know. Malay's retarded.

That concludes Random Crap Logs: Log No. 2

See you next time on other Logs and crap.

Random Crap Logs: Log No. 1

Came back from Taylor's College today for the debriefing of codings to make a 3d game out of a retarded game engine (Cube 2 Engine A.K.A. Quake 1's engine) for a competition.

Lags like heck even when using a gaming graphics card (GeForce 9800GT)...

The prizes might be worth it. Take a look at them right about.... HERE

Got my motherboard back from the store. Getting the bugs fixed...

Can't overclock to 3.2GHz or 3.1GHz for some reason...

Running at stock clocks. 2.4GHz. Sucks dunn'it?

Somehow my drivers still work.

ATI Rant Time

ATI... Sure does suck... Sure. DDR5 technology. Does nothing to perfect gaming performance. Their 'high-end' 4000-Series GPUs get lower frames compared to Nvidia's GTX 200 Series GPUs.

Sure the prices are higher in Nvidia's case but that's what you need to sacrifice for high-end gaming. Not 'high-end gaming'. HIGH-END gaming.

ATI's shader core quantity also reflects their quality. Too many cores for example in ATI's HD4770 (640 cores) have to compete with Nvidia's GeForce 9800GTX+ lower core number (126 cores) to achieve the same amount of performance.

These abundance of processor cores from ATI also churns out an enormous energy to process the same amount of data a lower amount of processor cores from Nvidia. Therefore, your electricity bills will skyrocket with ATI compared to Nvidia.

Nvidia Appreciation Logs: PhysX®

Only available for the PC on NVIDIA® GeForce® GPUs, NVIDIA® PhysX® technology delivers real-time, hyper-realistic physical and environmental gaming effects in the games you want to play today and tomorrow. “Canned” reactions are a thing of the past – PhysX-powered games comes to life with blazing explosions, reactive debris, realistic water, and lifelike character motion.

What is NVIDIA PhysX Technology?
NVIDIA^® PhysX^® is a powerful physics engine enabling real-time physics in leading edge PC games. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games and is used by more than 10,000 developers. PhysX is optimized for hardware acceleration by massively parallel processors. GeForce GPUs with PhysX provide an exponential increase in physics processing power taking gaming physics to the next level.

What is physics for gaming and why is it important?
Physics is the next big thing in gaming. It's all about how objects in your game move, interact, and react to the environment around them. Without physics in many of today's games, objects just don't seem to act the way you'd want or expect them to in real life. Currently, most of the action is limited to pre-scripted or ‘canned' animations triggered by in-game events like a gunshot striking a wall. Even the most powerful weapons can leave little more than a smudge on the thinnest of walls; and every opponent you take out, falls in the same pre-determined fashion. Players are left with a game that looks fine, but is missing the sense of realism necessary to make the experience truly immersive.

With NVIDIA PhysX technology, game worlds literally come to life: walls can be torn down, glass can be shattered, trees bend in the wind, and water flows with body and force. NVIDIA GeForce GPUs with PhysX deliver the computing horsepower necessary to enable true, advanced physics in the next generation of game titles making canned animation effects a thing of the past.

Which NVIDIA GeForce GPUs support PhysX?
GeForce 8 series GPUs and higher all support PhysX.

Why is a GPU good for physics processing?
The multithreaded PhysX engine was designed specifically for hardware acceleration in massively parallel environments. GPUs are the natural place to compute physics calculations because, like graphics, physics processing is driven by thousands of parallel computations. Today, NVIDIA's GPUs, have as many as 480 cores, so they are well-suited to take advantage of PhysX software. NVIDIA is committed to making the gaming experience exciting, dynamic, and vivid. The combination of graphics and physics impacts the way a virtual world looks and behaves.

In layman's terms, PhysX makes everything that's encoded with NVIDIA^® PhysX^® act like they do in real life. This way, you get ultra-realistic gaming using NVIDIA^® GeForce^® GPUs.

A video of the comparison of PhysX ON versus OFF in a PhysX game Mirror's Edge will be available below. Mind you, it's a bit fuzzy

People say that I smell like the back of a dump truck.

Some say that I'm a heretic.

All's I know, I'm called.
