    Has there been any word on G90?

    [/b] Actually,it has already been stated,(not confirmed) that ati will also go this route by the end of the year

    Going to War With NVIDIA

    I understand how the op feels and do sympathise with him.I don't know much about U.S. anti trust laws that I can't say anything as fact. But laws have so many loopholes that sometimes it is impossible to win. 1)when he bought his system originally it worked as intended.The question is ,if he...

    Some more R600 information

    AMD's recent takeover of ATI may have signicant long-term benfits for both but, right now, it doesn't seem to have done anything for ATI's ability to produce state-of-the-art graphic processors in a timely fashion. While trawling the night markets in Old Taipei with the HEXUS Dragon Tour...

    Some more R600 information

    You have benches? Where does it say it's faster? Where does it say what type of pipelines? scalar, vec3, vec4? quote-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In regards to R600's architecture...I've heard it's going to use vec4's...is that...

    Some more R600 information

    yeah, but you also have to take the speed into account. 256 at 800-- 128 at 1350, granted ATI still has a speed advantage by a couple of hundred mhz, but the way you state it makes it sound like it is 2 to 1

    Nvidia are on a roll

    I agree again,I've heard(no links or spy knowledge)the R600 should be significantly better in next gen games,but heat is a problem and they are working on it.If Dammit could steal some of Nv's thunder with some leaked benches,don't you think they would,unless they can't due to not being ready...

    The REAL Reason ATI WANTED to be acquired by AMD

    People are still upgrading to newer agp cards.There will be a market for discreet cards for 3-5 years after this happens.Which puts AMD in a tough R&D/fab postion,to change over while continuing with what they have going. Do they continue High end R&D on discreet graphics knowing they want to...

    AMD not eliminating ATI brand; reports false

    Are the ATI/AMD reps that said this the same guys that flat out denied the buyout too?

    Core 2 Extreme has essentially the same "real world" performance as FX62

    The review is real world alright.Like where they state We had the internal/external shadows set to 5 on intel ,but amd couldn't run it so we turned it down to 3 for the amd. Or how they used the 965 chipset instead of 975. And then bottleneck the gpu.Well it kept AMD looking competitive if...

    So, does the 7950GX2 count as a single card solution?

    Personally I don't think there is a right or wrong answer,but this debate ranks right up there with the taste's great vs less filling debate.:beer:

    G80 not SM4 Compliant?

    Back in march Faud said the G80 missed it's first tapeout. Today he says the first one is coming up. It keeps the forums busy but it does get tiresome after a while.

    Old School! Atari 2600 problem.

    Baseball and football on the colecovision with the super action hand controllers were the best,rocky wasn't bad either.Sadly nothing lasts forever,cept aids and stuff like that.

    Now the latest rumor is AMD buying ATi

    first of all last I checked,nv=7+ billion ati=3+billion So whoever said ati was bigger is very wrong. 2nd, everyone keeps going on about how ati has so much more than desktop graphics,but when they announced the delay of the r520, their stocks dropped by...

    3D Nature and Partners Declare ATI drivers Unsuitable for Professional Visualization

    This is the question I've been wondering why no one has asked. If they fix this problem,will this negate the advantage Nvidia has in ogl games?Or is there more to it than that?

    "Geforce 7900 cards scarce but not rare"

    Yes,and the x1900's have better features,and better hq af,etc. But Nvidia is a much better managed company.ATI still don't have the confidence of investors.And the extra features + die size make the x1900's more costly to make,giving them lower margins and make less money.Nvidia markets...

    nVidia HQ AF problems again

    It's equally funny seeing the usual suspects doing all the slinging What is even funnier is that the people making the biggest deal about it are people that most likely wouldn't buy nvidia regardless. It certainly hasn't been a big enough problem to hurt sales. If it has,Maybe this is a...

    nVIDIA PRICE DROP-7800GTX512 $399, 7900GT $299, 7900GTX512 $499

    Are these the msrp,or the store prices?They don't have to be the same. The msrp on the gtx512 was $699 but they were going for far more than that. Because we all know the bfg will be a few bucks more than the msrp. 6 days to go

    7900 GT SLI benchmarks

    Not very impressive,but wouldn't a 3g venice at 1800mhz be a bit inadequate for sli? Has anyone benched 78 gtx's(sli) with the same cpu to compare? I don't know what to think,but from this view,it is far from spectacular.need to see them benched with an FX-60 to get a better picture.

    nVIDIA PRICE DROP-7800GTX512 $399, 7900GT $299, 7900GTX512 $499

    You can't use uk/euro prices to convert,bud.They said they take a jump when they cross water. It's the same in Canada.You look at something on a US website and convert it,but by the time you add duty and tariff's etc,you pay a little extra. I do agree with you on the pricing.I think the...

    NVIDIA 7900GTX Details

    2g memory clock 512/1024 ? Maybe that's why faud keeps posting different prices everyday.There is more than 1 card. But if these specs are true,I think you can kiss that $499 price tag good bye.More like $699 2g memory clock sounds way too good to be true.

    7900 GTX to run at 650 MHz with only 24 pipes?

    Seeing as it's to be released in 2 weeks,is it not possble there are people that have these cards.Besides they were only SM2 tests.That's why I said not that impressive. And it is unlikely that a 50 mhz increase would make that much difference,unless it wasn't merely a die shrink.Or is it also...

    NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT Pics, Specs

    Actually on several other sites,they are stating that it is a 78/79 pcb but that is the 7600 chip.If you compare the 7600 on vr-zone and the 7900 on dailytech,they are identical,not possible for a 12 pipe and 24 pipe to be the same size.(at least that is what is being stated.) Metro from...

    7900 wont do HDR+AA, Geforce 8 will

    I never thought it would happen this round.The only statement I read concerning new features was that they were going to implement the af that was on the fx series cards. (angle independant) So if hdr+aa is a feature you definitely want,then ATI has a big leg up in this department. Do you...

    If you think what Rollo did is bad enough to subject him to 70+ pages of open ridicule and language that wouldn't be allowed on any self respecting site and then use the grade 3 mentality -he did it first,then that quite simply is very sad. When people start coming to this site to read the...

    If they cared, they would have reacted to the things he did in the past already, that is easily ban-worthy This is a good point. Is it possible they have let it become a free for all,because of the traffic it generates? Or has it just exploded beyond their immediate control?
