hi guys recently a friend of mine gave me his 6800GT. I haven
tested it yet. He says it supports physx. Is tat true? Btw how many
CUDA cores are in tat gpu? Or is there no
CUDA at all? Anyway can it run bad company 2 on low?
Thanks
He lied :O
CUDA is only supported in the 8000 series and greater, because
only starting from then that GPUs had the hardware to compute CUDA
or any other crap that wasn't Crysis.
No such thing is CUDA cores back then. "CUDA cores", or the term
anyway, was recently introduced by NV to give their ALUs
(Arithmetic Logic Units) fancy shmancy names. Back in the days of
GF7000 and earlier, there were stuff like pixel and vertex shaders.
Vertex shaders could do everything a pixel shader did, and more.
Pixel shaders, well, were the basic ones. A 6800GT has 16 pixel
shaders, and 8 vertex shaders.
No, it will NOT run BFBC2. At least, at any speed that won't get
you killed very fast. It is highly unpleasant. The minimum specs
call for a 7800GT, at the very least. And that has 7 VS units and
20 PS units, versus the 8/16 config of the 6800. Also, the 7800GT
is higher clocked. And I meet the minimum specs with an old X1900XT
from ATi. Game looks like shit, and I lag a bit. This playing @
1024x768 on what looks like low.
