compo PC will be upgraded with GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

Let's just hope they're Amiga demos and not Vampire demos. :)

Can we expect some hate towards including Amiga 600 Vampire in the compo machines? :)
It's a natural evolution and opens the doors for those who otherwise could not do Amiga demos before because of "cheap" accelerators or lack of time to study all the low-level stuff.
BTW, tried first to get the framework work without FPU, because my A1200 is like that. I think it's better to have Vamp one as none contribution. ;)
I hope Amiga pros will show us how it should be done properly - I'm really curious how this competition will end up!

I think this thread covers things quite well (at least once the worst soapboxing and knee-jerk responses are filtered out): http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=10630&page=2

My own five cents: I agree a Vampire is a cheap way of running 060 demos (if it happens to be compatible with those demos), but it's not necessarily a good tool for judging how (technically) impressive or well-made those demos were on an 060.
And if people end up making stuff that only works (or looks ok) on Vampire machines then I don't consider those prods "amiga demos". :)
I hope you get a nice compo though!

It's your compo, so you're free to do whatever you want. That being said, at least I wouldn't want to participate in such a compo anymore, as I'd rather see accelerated Amigas dropped from Amiga-compos than have vendor lock-in in form of the Vampire introduced to them.

@Korvkiosken I think nobody wants to make demos for a few people with Vamps. With so much juice around you don't want to make "slideshow fps" demos anyway. So around 25 fps seems like a good practice to keep 060 users happy too. Britelite kindly tested the prod on real 060 and was approved (thanks again!).
Wanted to clear up the situation with Vamp's sentiment and now I got it after the talk with Britelite.
Sad it's not frequently updated, but hey still. Without this gear, I won't be motivated to make something. We agree testing demos in emulator only is not a good idea. And glad to see the community is willing to help to test the prods on conventional accelerators to make it as accessible as possible.

@Britelite - good remark with vanilla A1200 demos. I would love to see contemporary A1200 demos which I can enjoy with my current setup. You can imagine, chasing a vintage accelerator for a reasonable price can be tough these days when retro fever is peaking :).

Argasek will bring his Blizzard 1260 A1200 as the main compo machine. And we accept A500 OCS demos too. So it's always up to viewers to recognize the machine differences and vote accordingly. Demosceners are critical thinking people so they can also price-in the usage of Vamp accelerator. We will communicate usage of hardware in prod slides.

There might be some people going out for a dinner tonight. More than likely it will be Slovak Pub some time in the evening. They have 1l beer glasses, just saying.

I am coming on Saturday! Looking forward to meeting all of you there! And you can look forward to my first demo, which will be presented at the party!

In case, you are taking a bus to Binarium tomorrow, our main bus station is under construction. On the opposite side is a temporary one, check how you will get to a public transport station 'Svatoplukova', and from there take a bus 212 (ŽST Železná studienka direction) or 202 to 'Cilizska' Kollárovo námestie, then switch a bus to 31 or 39 to "Televízia".
