This subdued press release doesn't seem to bode well.

I'll just go through the positive things first: Well done, Bruce Dell and the rest of Euclideon - not the least for having made a very quick search algorithm for their voxel-based render. This is no small feat, and considering the size of the company, impressive. Their technology could be able...

I've got a few questions: 1) What is the memory footprint of the Island they talked about in the video? What about objects like the elephant? The tree? Is the objects primarily storage device intensive, or local RAM intensive? 2) Can shaders or other effects be applied to objects? Can the...

I dunno, I will try it first. It actually looks like something that could add to the driving experience, but it depends heavily on the implementation. I don't know about you, but sometimes I actually used the right stick in Forza 3 in order to see my rearview mirrors and/or right mirror...

This is nice and well done. But what Tool did is way more cool imo (and better integrated into a full song as well).

It's a terrible game by any standard. Console, PC or otherwise.

Yes, the Xbox360 is halfway through it's cycle. That doesn't mean that MS will not release a new console by 2013, and let the Xbox360 live its golden years as a secondary, cheap, console platform - That's what Sony do with their PS2, and it is a very profitable strategy.

I'm thinking about replacing my trusty laptop, and this looks like a very good replacement. Kudos to AMD for delivering something a lot of people actually need.

In Denmark, where I live, PS3 games outsell the 360 ones almost between 3:1 to 2:1 (looking at 2010 sales). The Playstation brand is still quite strong in Europe, but it doesn't help that MS is still very US centric about their features and services on their console. (having a movie rental...

It's only as good as the competition - and this demo doesn't really seem to be superior compared to what we've seen from Qualcomm and PowerVR imo... here's a Adreno 220 (Qualcomm) demo Adreno 220 demo/ And I'm not a fan of Nvidia's business model on Android - seems like Nvidia likes to...

Considering the hardware of the Xbox360, Crysis 2 looks much better than I anticipated. Comparing it to the PC version is fun, put pointless nonetheless. It should come as no surprise, that if you have a mid-to-high end gaming PC, Crysis 2 will look better. Move along.

I've got an Xbox 360, Jasper model, and Kinect. No problems whatsoever. The early launch models, and even the Falcon revisions of the console seem prone to failure, from what I've experienced, seen and heard. However beginning from the Jasper models and onward, the failure rate seem more in...

Impressive, to say the least. Not something my wife would like to see in the livingroom, but still ...impressive.

I've had this motherboard for two months now - best motherboard I've had. And I have built more than a few machines over the years. Good review that more or less matches my experience.

I've used a creditcard to straighten the pins.. The thickness of the card seem to match the space between pins more or less perfectly. As always, be careful, though.

Crosshair IV is, simply put, the best Mobo I've had. No regrets.

Actually this article has been discussed extensively on the Beyond3D forum (and other forums as well), and essentially proven to be wrong as the recompiled x86 (SSE) code only gave a 2% performance difference. That doesn't change my stance on PhysX however.. it is an annoying splinter API...

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

I will :) (even though english is not my primary language)

Edit button, anyone?

I will look for sites that use this benchmark in their HD6800 reviews, and then remove them from my bookmarks. I thank [H]ardOCP for giving us a 'behind the scenes' look at things, so we can cut the BS from whatever company. And yes, this move from Nvidia looks a tad desperate, to say the...

I wonder why HardOCP even links to this article, as many of the 'thoughts' form the article seems to have been debunked by Beyond3D and Rage3D (and by some people in the know as well) Fortunately, we have the forums. What Lorien posted is about as much as we know for sure (more or less). About...

Back in 2006 I bought a Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB. Then I bought another one for SLI.. and it turned out to be a inconsistent experience - the upgrade path the next year or so went like this: Geforce 8800 Ultra (noisy, high TDP) -> HD3870x2 (same, internal crossfire broke, or drivers broke the...

I would like to see that confirmed by AMD and reviews, before I take that for granted. The rumors about the naming scheme for the 6xxx series has been floating around the web, but seems to be little more than pre-release speculation based on some questionable articles from minor sites, afaik.

Giving somewhat vague performance indicators for an unreleased product, that may or may not come in 2011(especially considering Nvidia has a funny way of counting releases, looking at their presentation), seems more like a plan to steal some of the thunder from AMD than anything else IMO...

Yeah, you'll always find someone who has problems with one GPU or the other. If one expects everything Nvidia to be perfect, take a stroll down the Nvidia specific driver forums, and you'll see lots of problems as well. As for all GPUs, the problems may not even lie in the hardware or the...

I'm with AMD on this one. I find PhysX and similar proprietary standards to be in the way of true progress. That, and the fact that PhysX degrades 3D performance makes it even less practical imo.

We had a lot of these on my graphic design school, which was one of the many reasons I kept using my PC. I never fell in love with Apple products, as many of my friends did, and while the buggy iMacs slowly became obsolete, I just upgraded my PC for much less money. But just looking at the...

Agreed. I Still consider UT2004 to be one of the best FPS games ever. If UT3 can build on top of that, and still maintain all the great qualities of the old games, then we definately have a winner. Mark Rein mentions that the game will run just fine on older systems as well - judging from...

Personally I find its a bit too early to do a follow-up on the drivers. Ater all, the 8800 GTS has been on the market around 7-8 months, while the HD 2900 XT just arrived. Give ATI/AMD 2-3 driver revisions 'in the field', and the card would probably look better. But its nice to see those...

It's funny... I don't see the review of Ubuntu as a typical consumer review. The amount of fixing done at pro IT level makes me wonder how this review can be seen as a consumer-oriented review, and the long time used on the Beryl GUI makes me wonder where the focus is.

Well, this just proves that Sony is ditching us europeans (I'm from DK)... Not only must we wait longer for the console - we'll get a shitty version as well. With the competition supplying better consoles, cheaper, sooner and with more features - the choice is quite simple IMO. Thanks Sony...

As I have been saying for some time, ATI has the superior driverteam. Nvidia has a harder job, though, with their DX10 capable G80 lineup, but still - at the end of the day we all look at the results. And Nvidia has a lot to prove... I'm still waiting for my 8800GTS to work properly in XP...

Will get Vista 64-bit ultimate edition in a few months time. Right now the drivers aren't where they should be (but thats to be expected) - still some people have no understanding of how big a job it is to make an OS for just about every possible hardware configuration out there. It took...

Bad rep at the hardware elite is probably not something Nvidia is craving, so yes, I believe this thread and argument is more than valid. Right now they've shown something that has been underway for years: Their "superior driversupport" is a bleak ghost of the former glory .

Nvidia is responsible for not delivering satisfactory support for their high-end product. It shouldn't come as a surprise to me, given my previous experience with their drivers (and high end products). Still, I did expect them to up their efforts to make decent drivers. My experience with the...

I'm a 8800 GTS owner - used to have ATI/AMD cards... Theres no doubt IMO; ATI has superior driversupport compared to their competition. Its been like that for years. Unfortunately I'll have to wait untill Nvidia gets their finger out as it is; or play some more Xbox360 - because even in XP x64...

Got the 8800 GTS; now I just need Vista. Hope the drivers are/will become significantly better than the XP x64 pro drivers... As they blow. Even UT2004 has problems running with smooth framerates.

More importantly to the christian understanding of the religion, is the confusion between the old testament (jewish religion and history) and new testament (Christian belief). These two testaments contradicts eachother, actually in such an extreme way that they shouldn't have been in the same...

Agreed. Don't forget how much Intel trailed AMD in the P4/K8 era. AMD isn't an CPU amateur; they'll probably get the job done. If not, this will be the first time in recent memory (don't mention the K5 days, please) Until Barcelona, though, Intels Core design reigns supreme.
