AMD Cinema 2.0 Creates Movie-Like Gaming

FILED UNDER: Uncategorized

In San Francisco yesterday, AMD demonstrated a cinema-realistic gaming demo they are calling Cinema 2.0, achieving an industry milestone that was thought to be up to 10 years away.

The muscle behind the impressive achievement is none other than AMD’s recently announced RV770 GPU, which pumps out over 1 teraflop of performance.

AMD said its teraFLOPS chip is the “world’s highest performing graphics processor ever” and that it is “more powerful than every generation of game console ever brought to market combined.”

AMD hopes to provide an interactive experience where you won’t just play movies, you’ll play in them. You could go to a cinema to see the latest release and return home to play a game where the characters and sets are absolutely identical.

Cinema 2.0 blends the dynamic 3D interactivity of video games with the highly detailed and complex graphics used in blockbuster films.

The Cinema 2.0 demo was run on two RV770 graphics cards with an AMD Phenom X4 processor and AMD 790 FX Chipset.
