Re: General discussion chat Reminds me of this Miata I made in Need For Speed Underground 2 when I was 10. It had a subtle body kit, retro-style 8 spoke wheels, xenon headlights, and everything else, paint and body, was left stock. I believe it had a small drop on it, too, but it wasn't stanced. I could probably remake it when I get home from school of I really wanted to. This was Tapatalk's idea, not mine.
Re: General discussion chat Love how making my own car for BeamNG heightens my awareness that if I crash my shit, I'll die.
Re: General discussion chat It could be worse. Just take a look at some of the other crap that came out around the same time.
Re: General discussion chat ACTUALLY, the Denver K1 is a x86 architecture proccesser (i believe the one used in the nexus 9 is 64-bit as well) EDIT: NVM, 6677 told me in steam chat that it's still ARMv8, and that the x86 architecture version isn't in production yet
Re: General discussion chat The GPU is tied directly into the CPU die. Doesn't go via any external interface and has no dedicated VRAM, it instead uses the system RAM which is DDR3 between 868 and 1366MHz. It does have an external PCIe 3.0 interface, I don't know if it is 8 or 16 bit though or how many slave devices it supports, I know NVidia did demo the Tegra 3 running with full OpenGL + CUDA support with an external GTX560 once. The K1 GPU does support OpenGL (both OpenGL and OpenGL ES actually, 2 are not compatible normally and most mobile GPUs are OpenGL ES only), DirectX 11 (supposedly, no Windows RT, CE or Phone version has been announced on it but it should hypothetically work), OpenCL and CUDA. - - - Updated - - - Nope. Tegra K1 is 32 bit ARMv7. Tegra Denver K1 is 64 bit ARMv8. (This is the Nexus 9 chip) NVidia have roadmapped x86, but the Denver K1 is not x86.
Re: General discussion chat I should have probably clarified that my second paragraph wasn't related to the whole nvidia k1 thing at all, that was to do with thunderbolt 3 external GPU's achieving 90% the performance of running the card native. I didnt know that nvidia have planned x86 support. That should be very interesting, with Intel working on graphics tech and nvidia working on CPU tech perhaps this could lead to more competition in the future with 3 companies in both the CPU and GPU game. Hopefully they try and go all the way. - - - Updated - - - Just saw this advert on a tv comedy news show that was taking the piss out of it. Apparently it has been banned from being shown before 9pm because think of the children etc etc. Top that America!
Re: General discussion chat I believe nvidia approach is planned to be a translation layer rather than a true x86 chip. A CPU which has an emulation of another instruction set atop its own. Transmeta did this already.
Re: General discussion chat That would be interesting to see, i assume that then you would get full x86 and ARM compatibility in a single chip as well as the power efficiency of an ARM chip. That would be awesome, especially if could dual boot ARM android and x86 windows without Microsoft and Google killing it with fire this time. Especially if they gave the chip the ability to switch in an instant between the two by giving it a metric crap ton of cache and ram.
Re: General discussion chat Nah, i don't that tops the normal seeming start to the advert then a full school class getting crushed by a barrel rolling Astra followed by the "Shame on you"message at the end.
Re: General discussion chat You missed the wrecked 1st gen VW Golf, didn't you? Dem feels. Shame on you.
Re: General discussion chat Speeding is a danger, but I don't think even an astra can break the laws of physics just by speeding.
Re: General discussion chat atm I'm driving a first gen Panda It's actually a bit larger compared to the Seicento but it's highly related. No matter how I drive, it looks like everyone wants to overtake me or cut me off despite I'm driving as fast as they do...
Re: General discussion chat the vehicle i currently drive the most(i don't have my own car yet) is this: same color as well (reason for picture instead of crash test, is i couldn't find a crash test (at least not a normal one, that isn't recorded with a potato camera))

Re: General discussion chat That person would be very dead. Needs more crumple zones. That thing is stiff as a brick.
