NVIDIA Website Dedicated To Mocking Intel?

I don't find any of them funny. Instead, I find them desperate, dry, and every other derogatory adjective you can think of.

Is this a bad idea given that Intel licenses from Nvidia their SLI technology (or software-that-locks-specific-systems-to-SLI-and-PhysX)?

... Because Intel could just turn its back away from Nvidia on this, and not include SLI-compatibilty in their upcoming chipsets...

Intel is the big criminal here right now, the rest are small fry at best.

Yeah, that was what, the X1900GT, so about 2-3 years ago (or 4 generations)?

The comic appears to be Nvidia having sour grapes because it doesn't have a license to produce x86 parts/can't, so they're taking a leaf out Apple's book. Mudslinging.

I agree with techrat: Nvidia deserves every drop of ire until they clean their act up.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Corporate Politics!

How does nVidia hope to gain anything with this among the knowledgeable tech community who actually knows their stuff and would spend big bucks on nVidia's products? What on earth do they expect to gain?

I'm at least 20-30% less proud of my GTX 295 right now ... blocking physx? blocking lucid? How is that going to help them one bit?!?!

I guarantee if I'd shelled out extra money for an nVidia physx card, even though I have a primary ATI graphics card, done the work to get everything working, only to have nVidia block it at the driver level later, they are NOT going to motivate me to go out and buy an nVidia card to replace my primary ATI card. They will be motivating me to NEVER support physx or nVidia again.

And if I have the new BigBang motherboard with Lucid's tech in it, and my nVidia card just stops working with new drivers because nVidia put in a block, do you think this will motivate me to go to the store, buy a new nVidia or Intel SLI motherboard, and another nVidia graphics card?? Again, this wouldn't do ANYTHING other than piss me off at nVidia and NEVER buy from them in the future.

This really makes sense... Now that competition is seriously heating up, let's piss all our current customers off, and make fun of future potential tech partnerships in the process. "Let's burn bridges with EVERYONE!!!"

Does anyone else find this as strikingly asinine as I do? I just stare blankly and ask myself, "why ..??"

Pretty funny for sure

But all intel has to do, is not pay for SLI royalty on there mobo's anymore, and nvidia is SOL.

I mean seriously, if Lucid can do it without the need for nvidia SLI Tech. Well then Nvidia is totally fucked.

It's not like they are making SLI amd mobo's anymore.

I give nvidia maybe 1-2 years tops with intel mobo's with SLI tech.

Remember previous posts, though. nVidia's looking like they're gonna do their best to block Lucid. I know we'll find workarounds in the tech community, but still, with Lucid you can still use nVidia cards. If nVidia blocks it, that motivates me to NOT buy more nVidia...

Yea it is pretty stupid that crossfire works on any mobo with 2 pci-e slots,

But nvidia you need to buy a specific SLI mobo.

which is why I hope lucid takes off, then we wont need the special mobo's.

Either way yea...nvidia is making me not want to buy anymore products they produce

Apparently, nV doesn't need any assistance making colossally stupid comments...

When you (nV) release crap products and shoot your mouth off, you invite this sort of banter.

The only thing old here is nV's crap. It will continue as long as stupid consumers continue to purchase their garbage.

The hilarious thing is the whois info... they've gone for an anonymous registration (of course) but used their own dns servers on nvidia.com...

Way to stay anon

Wow, thanks Nvidia for making my next and future choice for Video Cards so easy. ATI.
Thanks Nvidia.
Douchebags.

[Sarcasm]
Yeah everyone let's be PC on this topic because we can't think for ourselves as a Television show has the correct point of view that we all need to follow.
[/Sarcasm]

This is why people need to stop watching Television so much. It's poison to the mind.

Myabe they should focus less on mudslinging and more on releasing video cards.

I find it mildly entertaining. Entertaining in the way you see a drunk at a bar who is out of control, and just decided to pick a fight with the biggest toughest guy you have ever seen in your life. You know it's going to end badly for the drunk, and you probably should do something to stop it. Yet, part of you figures "Eh, the asshole has it coming" so you stand back and can't turn away from the oncoming trainwreck. Will Intel retaliate? I somehow doubt it, though if they decided they could crush Nvidia underfoot pretty quickly. A combination of Vendor lockouts, and some intense litigation I am sure would be all that's needed. Someone should teach the drunk a lesson though...

You know Intel could do that by offering to buy out Nvidia Share Holders at $20 a share. If AMD could buy ATI, so could Intel to Nvidia.
That would teach the drunk a lesson.

You're still spouting this nonsense?? Oh god -_-

Did anybody here with a 3000-series card see it show up as a 4000-series card after updating their catalyst drivers? No. Furthermore, all of that driver fud is incorrect, as it clearly labels the 4750 as an RV630 chip, which would have limited it to a maximum of 320 stream processors.

The last time ATi rebadged WAS the X1000 series. We would see things like X1300-series cards get cores from the first waves of X1600-series and whatnot. However as far as the X1900GT/X1950 Pro thing goes... die shrink. Same clocks and specs, k, fine. You could argue that, but nobody argues that a GF 9800GTX+ is a rebadged 9800GTX...

The comic is in bad taste, but it really isn't any worse than any of the marketing tactics Intel, AMD, ATI, Nvidia, Apple, or Microsoft have used before. They're all guilty. That's marketing.

Funny how the site is aimed at Intel but SAYS it is aimed at the industry...

Nvidia is just begging to get it up the ass from every possible angle.

I think Nv is starting to see the light and the end of the tunnel is getting smaller.
