    Microsoft Announces DX12 Support for Windows 7

    You can put the blame for DX10 and DX10.1 firmly at Nvidias feet. Their cards could NOT do the original DX10 spec and they begged/bribed MS to nerf the spec. And thus DX10 became a farce.

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 Overclocking Performance Review @ [H]

    given Nvidias bitching about the 28nm process and "blaming" them for their issues. I HIGHLY doubt Kepler will be a) on time (its already slipped) and b) competitive. It seems PR ppl run Nvidia now and not the engineers. Which is a real shame cos it would provide some interesting competition...

    NVIDIA Fermi - GTX 470 - GTX 480 - GTX 480 SLI Review @ [H]

    Open Physics... or forget it. This propriatary crap needs to go. It makes it totally bloody pointless otherwise. Either do it right and allow it on both card ranges or devs wont code it. (except with cash bribes) And when they do... its oh wow.... paper blowing in wind. Joy. Physx = Pr = A...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    reviews then. Cards in april. Thou Fudzilla says maybe late as June? Seriously. These guys need to pick a fracking date and stick to it. NV is gonna be 9 months late and no baby still soon.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    I dont know about you... but anything over 1kw i dont want in my system. The whole point of smaller faster systems was to stop the omg power suckage. As was pointed out earlier in the thread, once you hit 1.2kw you are getting near the draw for a 15a household line. To be quite honest...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    Say what you like about charlie. Personally I rather enjoyed his articles constantly proving NV PR as liers and cheats. NV certainly like to pull the same stunts. Intel cartoons anyone? It helped me get my laptop fixed despite them claiming it was "not their fault". I'd love to know what...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    so what part of 8 months late did u miss? you do NOT miss the Xmas rush with out a DAMN good reason. Nor do you miss a MAJOR software release (win7). Thats 2 serious snafus. I dont care if you think Fermi runs like shit off stick and cool as a night breeze. Missing those deadlines is a major...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    How about the fact is 8 months late, running too hot (Already one major buyer "Oak Ridge" has dumped them), is on 3rd A revision already, B1 being done (If Kyle's heard it and feels confident to say that I believe him). 40nm process has leakage problems. ATI adapted. NV didnt. They tried...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    Wrong. Nv begged MS to cripple DX10 as their cards couldnt do the full DX10 original spread. This resulted in DX10 being laughable. They couldnt even get the damn vista drivers sorted properly hence the backtracking on removing video drivers from the core proper. The sooner NV stops PRing its...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    Lets see... Screwed up with Dx10. Have only JUST got with the plan and released DX10.1 cards. (all rebranded). FAILED. Yes FAILED horribly to deliver DX11 cards. Screwed up their 40nm push. (Way too hot. Shitty yeilds. Piss poor execution). This is what happens when PR overrules...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Final Specs & Pricing Revealed

    so nothing out of the norm then. Smoke mirrors fud and still nothing substantial. When they acutally have retail cards being tested (and more than likely laughed at) then i might actually look at them. This "Hyping" has totally killed ANY respect i've had for NV. It started with...

    NVIDIA Fakes Fermi Boards at GPU Conference

    ultimately it comes down to trust and not treating your consumers like idiots. Lying to us pisses us off. (There is nothing wrong with our laptops. Whoops. Yes there are.) Treating us like idiots with rebrands instead of delivering new technology. Being spiteful and actively disabling...

    AMD's ATI Eyefinity Technology Review @ [H]

    Kyle, I know this works full screen wonderfully, any possiblity of you testing with windowed mode? I run Eve-Online with 2 clients and the ablity to drop clients across that display and have forums and TS running as well would be amazing. Currently with windowed you have to be very...

    NVIDIA GT300 Yields Are Under 2%?

    yep. rumor has it that Nv did not follow basic fabbing rules and so are suffering badly with their shrink. Given that they also did not follow packaging rules (skipped a layer hencing exascerbating the flexing when under a heat cycle) for laptop chipsets making it even worse, I can believe it...

    NVIDIA GT300 Yields Are Under 2%?

    I'd be surprised if GT300 cards were available to retail before Q1 2010. Be close run thing if they have test cards to "review" before end of november. Its a damn good job Nv is working on cell phone chips cos they really have screwed up the gpu lines. Oh and if charlie is right and they...

    NVIDIA GT300 Yields Are Under 2%?

    Given the fact that nv's new cards are mainly OEM low end crap and the design issues they have been having? I dont believe you will have a new GT300 properly in shops till pushing 2ndQ next year, especially if the yeilds are this shit. This screams of fundemental design flaws. NV have made the...

    GT300 taped out

    Got MS to pull most of it making it a pointless exercise cos they couldnt get hardware working. Its also the reason the vista drivers got redone. (was suppost to be totally out of the core. NV couldnt get it sorted in time so MS "tweaked" it so they could do it) Intel and ATI got proper drivers...

    GT300 taped out

    Given that NV made DX10 a joke and is still messing about trying to get proper DX10.1 cards... I say little hope of a NV dx11 card before end of next year.
