E: D @800x600 and ~8 FPS, So Why Am I Happy?

[andrewg_oz]

the operating temps are ~82C which is borderline.

Not even close:

Edit: assuming this isn't a 1-April event, this looks awesome and a lot of fun!
Edit2: Yeah, it will start to throttle at 82, but I thought the thermal image was cool!

Well it was posted fairly early (14:36) on 31st March by Europe time, so... I WANNA BELIEVE!

You, sir, are a steely eyed missile man. Or in this case a solid copper-aluminium heatsink man.

Top work.

some of us live in New Zealand and australia. we arn't all tourists. WE Exist TOO

Trying to remember but I think shardragon's a Canadian from Canadia, could be wrong though. Don't think Frank was being antipodeanist, just frank.

 

[Bran Tse Mallory]

Wow, just wow.

 

[etien]

I guess it is a joke, but still it's cool

 

[Osbo89]

Hell the just fab and when you've got that working your next job is to it working on an iPhone/iPad...

Ah! You're trying to catch me out. I've seen videos of Australia Nobody could live in that heat-blasted hell hole <hee hee hee>

I'm always Frank even when I'm being evasive. Heisenberg is certainly right. I'm not antiantipodean. Shardragon was posting about something Canadian, but he also posted something about how he was affected by some sort of American legislation. I just took it for granted that he moved about a lot.

Maybe we'll get some sort of confirmation from the man himself.

Trying not to look overly stalkery here, but the man has a link to his YouTube channel, in his sig, which may answer some of those questions you have about him...

Genius.

 

[Noddie]

I wonder if liquid cooling would help here?

Awesone work.

 

[Pyrotiger]

Liquid nitrogen?

Maybe we should send it off to Makemake, where it must be on the low side of the Kelvin scale

 

[AndiBcool]

Aprils fool maybe ?

Aprils fool maybe ?

A day early but believe so yes. Looked way quicker than 8 fps too. Just basically his PC set to ultra low res is my guess.

Funny though.

If you cluster them you can get much better performance

In case this is true I wonder what will think David Braben about it: beacuse he is one of the men behind Elite: Dangerous and he also is one of the men behind Raspeberry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Foundation)

 

[Gully Foyle]

Pm a Mod to PM Davey about it, he'll love it.

I updated the original post with more information that was requested.

Thanks.

Reminds me of running Escape Velocity: Nova on a 20mhz macintosh. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_ii/specs/mac_iisi.html
We had to really mess with it to make it work. I think we might have had to dig in to its resources to assign more virtual memory to it than was normally allowed. Anyway, it was glorious.

Fly Fishing by J R Hartley was equally convincing...........................
