Real-time photorealistic GPU path tracing: Streets of Asia in 720p

Upgraded with normal mapping and dynamic water (thanks to jeroen van schijndel). Rendered with Brigade on 2 Geforce GTX 580 GPUs. More info on raytracey.blogs...

Dont Go with nVidia 6xx as it's actually crippled in regards of CUDA performance. GTX 580/90 is your best bet

[@lukasaspocztafm]

Yeah... but: * Kepler (e.g. gtx680) is crippled in double precision = GPGPU much slower than on older Fermi cards * Fermi (e.g. gtx580) is crippled in non-gaming opengl - 3D applications viewport is slower than on older cards... Thank you nVidia, if you think you force people to buy quadro/tesla you're wrong. Buy Radeon!

[@SuperGastrocnemius]

hmm, good idea :)

[@xoio]

Impressive, but doesn't look very 'photo realistic'...

Maybe you write letter to Nvidia and ask them to gift you 4 GeForce GTX680 for Quadro-SLI? They will be your sponsor, and you add their logo before you videos. Nice PR, i think.
