Hi guys,

i am going to have a Q&A with nVIDIA tomorrow about the nv40. If you have any questions regarding the new chip, please free fell to post them here. I will collect them and then send them over to nvidia.

Thanks for your support!




i thought this was amuzing

Pauls quesitons




1. For the last two years, your main competitiors have done more with less. More performance, better (usable) image quality, less transistors. Indications seem to be that at least some of those elements will play out once again this round - comments?

2. You haven't implemented Low-K on any of your products, and still haven't with NV4x, and you even went as far as to call it dangerous - yet your competitor has had no problems with the process for months now, and have achieved both good yield and excellent performance/heat/cost benefits. Comments?

3. For the last 2 years, your drivers have effectively removed control from the user, instead preferring to force your own "quality" standards upon users. You've consistently cheated in major benchmarks, degraded IQ for speed, and have been "found out" numerous times. Is this going to continue with the NV4x generation, knowing that the enthusiast community will (without doubt) probe deeper into your drivers than ever before?

4. ATi have secured contracts for major consoles, replaced NV in marketshare terms, and have broken many of your major OEM deals - yet you continue to call Intel your main competitor, and dismiss ATi. Do you honestly believe you can reverse this trend?

5. You're not going to answer any of these questions, are you?
 
ATI fanboyism at its best. Here are some good questions for ATI:

1. It's pretty obvious that your card is going to be beaten on price and performance this round vs. the NV40. Why do you continue to cripple your mid range, or SE versions of cards with less pipelines and clock speed while NVIDIA merely lowers clock speed?

2. Despite OpenGL being available for years now, and games like Counter-Strike and Quake3 also being out for years, your drivers still have numerous documented problems. Any idea when/if these problem will be addressed?

3. An internal memo showed you trying to actively downplay PS3.0 because your hardware does not support it and NVIDIA's hardware does. Any comments on this?

4. Despite Linux gaining popularity with developers you have still chosen to put out inadaquate drivers. Is there any point where you are going to change this?

Each company has its flaws, and completely biased questions are easy to write.

Though to be fair, the questions in pist 1 were questions id actaully like answered.

Ya but the difference being that your questions can and will be answered/solved in their due time while the NV ones won’t.

lol I’d love to see NV try to talk about their cheats.

Oh and besides, this was suppose to be humorous don’t take it too seriously or your "bias" might show.;)

Most likely because you don't want to come to the realization that ATI also has problems. Either that or you don't think PS3.0 will be of any benefit, and don't care if ATI is going to get it's OpenGL problems fixed by the time Doom3 is out.

Are you trying to tell me ATI hasn't ever cheated?

You might want to re-read the NV questions too because they can also be fixed in "due time."
 
Down boy DOWN!

Yes, they probably have, but never so explicitly as NV to my knowledge.

We both know which company has more faults in the past couple of years. No need to go there.:)
