Industry news

Sub-Forums: Press Releases    Beyond3D Articles

For discussion of future, present, and past 3D chips as well as their architectures and trade-offs. Rumours and speculation threads on future products should go here.

Sub-Forums: 3D Beginner's Questions

For technical discussion of 3D Technology and Algorithms, including the evolution of GPU architectures, rendering techniques and effects, and much more. Highly technical and potentially abstract.

Sub-Forums: 3D Programming & Tools

For discussion of current 3D graphics boards and output hardware, including reviews, drivers, control software, and video players.

Sub-Forums: Video Technology, Displays, & HTPC

For views and discussions on 3D IHVs and the semiconductor industry in general, including company financials and other websites. The catch-all when you're sure it should be somewhere.

For discussion of General Purpose GPU computing and related technologies, as well as all partially competing solutions such as PPUs, DSPs, and other coprocessors.

For discussion of technologies operating home video game consoles

Sub-Forums: Console Technology    Console Games

For discussion of games for handheld devices such as Mobile Phones, PDA's and Handheld Consoles

For advanced discussion of the handheld industry, and especially semiconductor logic chips such as application and multimedia processors.

All things related to getting the best performance from your Cell Broadband Engine (CBE) processor.

For discussion of PC software and hardware that isn't 3D related

Sub-Forums: Politics & Ethics of Technology    Unix, Mac, & BSD (3D)

For advanced discussion of processors and chipsets, mostly but not exclusively PC. Purchase decisions and highly nontechnical discussions do not belong here.

Here's the place to post if you don't know what to get - from Quad-GPU PC configurations to the smallest router or software purchases! (exception: LCDs etc. have their own forum)

No matter what they say, it's what it's all really about anyway!

Sub-Forums: Console Games

Whatever's on your mind...

For discussion of Folding@Home and the Beyond3D Team (Other distributed computing discussion grudgingly accepted!)
