    Bored GPU is Bored! (take a suggestion, leave a suggestion, please!)

    do you have a GPU (or set of eyes) that are bored? here are some non-interactive, realtime suggestions (mostly demoscene) to show The State of the Art, at least as of a certain time frame.

    [skip to the GPU-wreckers via this anchor]

    note: while you should always be careful, depending on what antivirus you use, some of the 64 and 4K demos could probably set off the air raid sirens. pouet.net/scene.org mirrors should be pretty trustable. i put a 99.9% trust in them.

    note2: also, some of these may need an Nvidia GPU.

    note3: graphical difficulty is probably graded considering an age of Radeon 5000 series+

    note4: i guess i'll use (at least in my first suggestions) the symbol ᴰ to indicate that the demo ... well, kinda uses objects and visual effects that might be a bit cheesy to people not used to the demoscene, but, IMO, contribute to making it "graphically interesting" ...

    anywho, if you have suggestions please leave them, too.

    let's start off taking it easy on the GPU...

    in case (those of) you (familiar with the demoscene) haven't noticed, these are being pulled from http://awards.scene.org/archive.php with a bit of my own picking and choosing.

    2006: Demo: MFX - Deities (and the happier remix, Lucy in the Sky with Deities -- see below)
    graphical difficulty: 4?/10
    design: 6/10
    note: these guys usually have disturbing visuals and or annoyingly epilepsy-inducing unneeded flashes. this was the first demo i liked by them.

    FLT's Track One won awards, but i prefer:
    2007: Demo: Carillon & Cyberiad (CNCD) and Fairlight (FLT) - Halfsome
    graphical difficulty: 6/10
    design: 8/10

    http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=31098



    and

    2007: Demo: FLT and CNCD and Orange - Media Error
    graphical difficulty: 5/10
    design: 7/10

    http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=31574

    2007: lkcc and Bauknecht - Above
    graphical difficulty: 4/10
    design: 8/10

    http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=30255



    2007: sightly bigger than 64K: farbrausch - fr-041: debris
    graphical difficulty: 4/10

    note: the sheer amount of content for the filesize blew many minds in the demoscene O_O

    I remember back in the day (late 1990's or early 2000's) getting this spanish monthly magazine that included a CD with alot of software as usual but also some demoscene demos. They did some pretty amazing things back in the day.

    yeah, i kinda lost track post-BBS ~1995, after i discovered MP3s and other various binaries on usenet.

    then i got a bit obsessed with making my own MP3s. go go custom config.sys+autoexec.bat so i could rip CDDA on my unfriendly-to-ripping-CDDA CDROM!

    you can probably find most, if not all of the big demos from back then on Youtube, thankfully! (or capped/demoscene.tv)
