I'm not Mr Physics Guy here, so forgive my complete ignorance. We're getting a lot of power for not much cost, right? If this sort of thing was developed and extrapolated to the Nth degree, could it have any potential for generating power? In a few years are we going to ditch the nuclear power plants and run the world on…
If the diffuse is calculated as a phong or lambertisn term (like it probably is) then diffuse power should have the same effect on model lighting as spec power does on specular lighting. Ie make it More directional and less diffused. Just slap a constant medium grey into the diffuse slot, then put a scalar into the diff…
i am pretty sure 400W wont be enough for your current setup with the new parts you mentioned above. i suggest ~600W. also make sure your old power supply has all the proper power connectors for your new mobo such as the 8-pin CPU power without the need of a converter.
