Hey Dan, your Famous
Just reading on Anandtech about your little General Purpose programmable GPU.

I think its funny. Now I can say “I knew you when…â€

Now coders around here can mention that they worked with him, while us graphics guys can add him as a client for graphics design in our résumés.

*slaps himself*

I mean, congratulations, Daniel! Er, sorry. Mister Horn.

Okay. Strike two. Now seriously.

"We're so proud of you. *sob* *snifffff*"

Okay, okay.

Congratulations, man, and kudos on being on making a name for yourself. Sometime in the future we may end up picking a book on algorithms (or GPU Programing Jewels) and finding algorithms by Knuth, Hoare and Reiter Horn

Yes ATI loves me cus I wrote HMMer and it performed way better on their hardware.
NVIDIA Had a bunch of great ideas to get it working faster but so far nothing has come of them--I'm hoping to get the numbers up on both hardware

anyhow thanks for the kind words--hopefully I make other splashes as well at some point


but back to VS

So, hellcat, your very specialized apps aside, which video cards do you think are better all around for a typical home user -- model/art rendering, gaming, etc.?

It's gotta have good Linux support, too. That outweighs everything else. If the Linux drivers ain't coming, the card ain't worth buying.

And don't just say "ATI" just because they're sending you free stuff, now

[hellcatv]

then go nvidia... (try for a 7800 otherwise 6800 or 6600)
I love ATI for what they do for my specialized apps
but nvidia's just as good for games--and have rawkin linux support

For multi-GPU or linux stuff, Nividia's far ahead.

Speaking of multi-GPU, anyone seen that new quad SLI gigabyte board? Looks sweet, but its an intel board unfortunantly.
