True, they are not what they used to be, ladybug looks nice though.

The weirdest thing from my perspective is that they've always hosted the demos and screensavers on the dev site instead of the public-facing one!

Always hoped that meant they'd be giving us the source packages, but I've not seen them...

I agree ATI demos were never visually attractive, but this one seems 3~4 years in the past. Maybe this should have been a Bullet demo instead of AMD's.

From my humble point of view AMD should put more effort on developer relations and even end user's relations, something NVIDIA does very well. I believe the best example is CUDA: now it has a pretty dominant position compared to OpenCL and I believe one of the keys of their success is the enormous amount of sample codes and demos, developer tools, etc. For some reason I don't feel AMD does the same, even though their products and sometimes their tools are very good. Sadly though, I have to say I believe AMD should invest more in their "marketing" infrastructure.

Game dev stole them all!

Valve has three of them
Firaxis has two
Rockstar has one
Bungie has one
Big Huge has one
A few others are peppered across other companies..

I had a similar reaction to this demo. The entire demo team left about a year and a half ago... Overall I don't think AMD is interested in investing much in the way of resources/commitment to their demo team and as such the demos and team have suffered significantly. I thought the DoF demo with the ladybug/flower looked nice.

The 5000 series demos were quite nice... But those screenshots do look a bit poor(would be a nice GeForce 3 or something demo...:-)

As for NVIDIA demos the newer stuff looks very cool, they do however seem to be going for GPU compute/physics stuff more than graphics

(which has the computationally harder problems anyway, unless you go in the realtime radiosity direction for graphics, still perhaps wouldnt give huge practical improvements vs lightmaps).

@Humus

New feature "TESSELLATION" is VERY IMPORTANT!

You must buy GTX480 (not gtx460/470 due to memory not good) or GTX580 for excellent performance on extreme/insane tessellation because GTX480 is 2x~7x superior than HD5870.
