    AMD Briefing With Eric Demers Slide Deck @ [H]

    i think there's a lot to be said for ATI consistently helping to keep newer technologies available at more mainstream prices, because that does more for "actually furthering the graphics market" than focusing on monstrously expensive cutting-edge parts and re-branding previous-generation parts...

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    Mr. K6, you are typically a civil and intelligent person from what i've observed, so i'd be happy to continue. first off, i can't prove my point, not without actually suing nvidia anyway, and i have better things to do with my time. my previous post certainly was opinion, but i feel a well...

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    i respectfully disagree, and i don't need to insult you personally to do so. i won't bother to say anything more, however, since you're obviously the supreme expert on the subject as proven by your ability to construct ad hominem fallacies :rolleyes:

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    some people have said they're surprised nvidia hasn't been sued over this. these people are quite naive. this really isn't very different than how nvidia only allowed SLI on nForce motherboards (that is, until intel bullied them into falling in line). the recent legal battles over...

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    fanboys from any camp are indeed pretty annoying, but nvidia's PR strategy of "dude, where my pwnz?" has created a whole qualitatively new breed of fanboy: the nvidiot.

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    where did you get that? the previous post was about a proprietary solution vs. a comparatively open API, not GPU vs. CPU.

    Nvidia for Better Or Worse

    i know that it isn't the issue, but is there some major problem with using pre- 185.85 drivers on win7? of course i know the real issue is continued support; i just want to know if there's some major barrier to using ATI and nVidia with slightly dated drivers.

    to bad ati didnt keep somthn back to b enabled later --> 5870,5850

    why would you say that? why would you say that it's "to" bad that ATI is giving all of their chips' performance to their customers up front from day 1? are you so invested in the red vs. green battle that you'd prefer to have some small amount of performance of the chips that are out now kept...

    Lucid Hydra 200 - It's almost here!!!

    there were several years where the same thing could have been said about intel, the undisputed giant, regarding integrated memory controllers. there's a pretty big difference between "looking into" an approach in the abstract (on paper) and actually creating a working engineering sample. when...

    NVIDIA and its own Eyefinity?

    my own apologies for jumping to conclusions. i'm really hoping starcraft 2 plays well with eyefinity. i know with some games, getting very high resolutions to work is simply a matter of editing an ini file or something equally as simple. and there are other potential issues too. LCDs refresh...

    NVIDIA and its own Eyefinity?

    i see it differently. i see about 60% (conservatively, considering the >12% total margin of error) of enthusiasts expressing some interest in multi-mon gaming, either from ATI or nVidia. compare that to how many [H] enthusiasts are genuinely interested in multi-GPU gaming. do you think it's as...

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    a big red bolt of awesome :D do you actually think about what you type, or did you sign your fingers' power of attorney over to nvidia? the matrox TH2G only supported very low resolution monitors, and it wasn't exactly a cheap piece of hardware. the NVS 400 series quadros aren't designed...

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    i'd say it's priced to compete with the 260/275's, and it just happens to match or exceed 285 performance.

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    i must have missed where the 5870 was touted as a 295 killer. i always assumed as a single GPU card, it was meant to be the proverbial 285 killer.

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    first off, i don't think it was clearly better than 4870X2, but more to the point you're talking about a card that's just under $500 new; for a few more bucks you can get CF 5850 and dance on a GTX 295. in this price range, the fact that it's SLI on a card vs. 2 separate cards doesn't really...

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    i wouldn't disagree with your argument, and i didn't mean to indicate that they couldn't possibly have a multi-purpose chip. if i sounded like that, well, it's because i'm not holding my breath for nVidia. i should have the cash for an upgrade in the next month, and i'll be grabbing a 5850...

    Has Nvidia Seceded to ATI in the high end gaming segment?

    i disagree; i think it's a stupid question (and rather alarmist) because it assumes that nvidia's current condition represents its entire future. even though the OP misused the word "secede" a bit (concede would have been better diction), the question still clearly asks whether NV is pulling out...

    Lucid Hydra 200 - It's almost here!!!

    because AMD is on the ropes, and that makes people willing to believe AMD might genuinely try to ingratiate themselves with consumers rather than putting out nothing but marketing fluff. i can't speak for everyone, but i think all businesses are the devil and eat babies, and AMD would try to...

    LOL... i don't buy that one though, since the younger gamers are usually either potheads or so loaded on caffeine that they react to shit that isn't there.

    NVIDIA and its own Eyefinity?

    :rolleyes: perhaps they can, but are you foolish enough to think they will? that's a very slippery slope. if they did that, then all the kids at 16x10 will whine that the 25x16 players have an unfair advantage, and the kids who can't get better than 45 FPS will whine that the players on a...

    NVIDIA GPU Conference Press Conference Followup

    samsung's been making monitors with very small bezels intended for use in arrayed displays for several years now. once ATI adds bezel management to CCC, the effect will be much less disconcerting. frankly all the trash talk against eyefinity just sounds like sour grapes ("i won't use it, so...

    GTX 285 Tri-Sli w/PhysX

    you are not correct. while it's possible in theory, the #3 and #4 PCIe slots are too close together, so unless you can find a low-profile waterblock for the 285 i would say it isn't possible. as for overkill, you said it, not me. if you really "need" a 2GB frame buffer, i'm sure there will be...

    The SoftTH Thread

    i haven't used softTH, but from what i've read about how it works, i'm under the impression that it's the LensCorrectionEdge value that you need to adjust (up) to reduce the fisheye effect. have you tried the softTH forums? they're not super active, but there's usually a few people lurking...

    What is the Best Single GPU card out?

    he said "single GPU card." "single slot GPU" in my mind would be a card that only took up one expansion slot (single wide, rather than double-wide), so i don't even know what the heck you're on about.

    society is screwed up here, but when has it been otherwise? the point of going into space isn't about fixing our problems here; if anything, it's an insurance policy in case they get too bad. they ARE trying to re-invent everything. they're trying to make space exploration less expensive. do...
