Does nvidia still offer those 3d demos that you can download and they show off your video card? If so, does anybody know where I find any that are on their site that are not on the disc that comes with the video card itself?

I've been ATI for a while so I don't know if they have stopped doing this or where to look.

Thanks.
 
Is that the only place? I see none for the 9800GX2?

Also, will ones for older cards work on newer nvidia cards or will they only work on the one card and no others?
 
nope they haven't made any new ones in awhile. its been a year and half since the release of a new card. also they are made for that card series and below.
 
I read that the human head demo ran slower on the 9800GTX than the 8800gtx

wouldnt surprise me... 9800 is failure imo. fuck u ati for not giving competition.

calm down mother fucker, ati has nothing to do with what nVidia wants to do, in fact I'm glad ati don't pull out weak refreshes every few months and actually puts all their effort into making the next big thing.

I normally don't chime in when someone makes such a stupid comment, but I guess this tipped the scales.

The only reason nVidia is able to rest on what is essentially a refresh of an 18+mo old card is because ATi hasn't given them any competition since to warrant an improvement. Why bother forcing out another, faster card that would only cannibalize sales of their current G80/G92 based boards?

Yep RV670 was a massive leap from R600...oh wait :eek:

Are you such a fanboy that if someone says something about ati that you don't like you call them a mother fucker? Sad :rolleyes:

how would 8850gtx be any better? the 9800gtx or whatever else they would have called never deserved the gtx moniker.
 
These demos are buggy with different hardware, older ones with newer ones won't work sometimes. The old G80 series demo with Adrienne Curry comes to a halt or works at less than 1FPS with a G92 card...

We dont know why ATi or Nvidia havent realesed anything new.

sure we do: ATIs development of a new architecture was a challange, trying to manage a 512bit bus on top of that prooved too much for their R&D team. The R600 experianced delay after delay after delay and finally launched as a failure. The ironic thing is it seems to me ATIs presentations were so reassuring, AMD bought ATI looking for something to report as a positive fiscal year knowing their own project was a failure and assuming the R600 would be a winner.

Lack of compitition makes markets stagnant. ATI didn't reply, so Nvidia didn't bother to develop anything new. Result: G80 and rehashed/cheaper G80 aka G92.

Anyways, G92B (same stats as G92 but TSMCs 55nm) end of augest. GT200 (new, possibly upward of 200 SPs, 120TMUs, 512bit bus etc.) late Q3 early Q4? RV770 from ATI (480 SPs, 32TMUs, 16 ROPs, 256bit GDDR5 @ 4.0GHz, 55nm, ~1GHz core clock) will presumably be here for computex (June 4).

Yes I'm aware that would make the G92B the fastest to EOL core ever but its what all the rumors are pointing to right now.

JEEESH!!!! HOLY CRAP DUDE SWITCH TO DECAF!!!! The FACTS are no company in there right mind will put out new tech if there isn't any competition. Shame on ATI for not having ANYTHING that could be considered competition IF ATI would release something that kicks the hell out of big green then they would release something a month or two later to kick the hell out of ATI. Its simple economics man no reason for the MF this and MF that comments.

:rolleyes:

Edited for spelling errors HAHA can't spell shit :p

It's not just lack of competition in the plain sense. An existing architecture gets cheaper to produce over time. That 8800 GTX may have cost $500 a card at launch and costs maybe $200 a card to produce now(Numbers straight from my bum). Nvidia is just soaking up the money by not using a new expensive fab when it has no need to.
