Freak'n Big Panda · 23-Jul-2003, 20:18

yep. Looks quite interesting.

Brent · 23-Jul-2003, 20:20

I'll be there

swanlee · 23-Jul-2003, 20:28

I'm there, my first question, why have you been cheating in your drivers over the past few years in every known benchmark? Is nvidia prepared for a class action lawsuit for consumer fraud because of the obvious way nvdidia has tried to make it's video cards seem faster than they really are.

Tim Murray · 23-Jul-2003, 20:33

I'll hop in.

Nick[FM] · 23-Jul-2003, 21:22

I'll be there if I am awake!

MuFu · 23-Jul-2003, 21:30

I'm going to stay clear.

Nite_Hawk · 23-Jul-2003, 21:44

I'll try to be there.

Why?

I'm there already and it is more or less "chaotic"..

PaulS · 23-Jul-2003, 22:29

Come join the fun! You too can slip optimisation references into every other message you send.

And mock both Kyle, and the smokers amongst the Futuremark crew 8)

Correction: Don't bother. The overuse of colour whoring is killing me.

Tssss..

Who's smoking? Not me..

Jerky · 24-Jul-2003, 00:02

Guys, I'm going to have to bail out on all of you.

Something significant came up which requires my attention.

Good to see there's going to be a nice turn-out by community folk tonight. Too bad I can't be there. Send my regards to NVIDIA...

Sincerely,

- Jonathan.

gkar1 · 24-Jul-2003, 00:19

Well they seem to be giving pre-digested pr answers to most of the questions. Nothing specific or new is being talked about. Someone asked about the OMEGA drivers situation and they just did a copy and paste from a blurb i read in another website.

Im going to leave the chat as soon as i finish posting this.

Jerky · 24-Jul-2003, 00:37

That's what I was expecting actually. A song and dance. Good thing I didn't waste my time on it.

Does anyone have a transcript? I imagine Bjorn3D will have one posted.

Time to get back to work.

- Jonathan.

Drat. I missed it. :?

digitalwanderer · 24-Jul-2003, 03:00

It was a much more fun chat before the interview bit, the nVidia people took way too long consulting on their answers for it to even appear spontaneous.

I thought this was interesting.

Quote:

<SwedBear> How significant an impact have the events in the recent months had on the attitude and focus of both the PR and engineering departments at NVIDIA? Have the driver designers gone back and revised the majority of the Detonators' code to remove or reimplement certain certain parts according to your new optimization guidelines?

<Bantha> hahah

<Scott_Bjorn3d> I thought I rated it XXX

<nv_nick> Actually, we have made some changes in our process, going forward, I think we're all going to be more careful about what features we put in, and how they get tested.

my bold

Hanners · 24-Jul-2003, 09:26

You can look at the chat log of the interview here.

I was around for the 'warm-up' (which was good fun - Nice to see some of you guys there

), but sleep (and network problems

) called before the main event, so I missed out.

There goes my chance of getting a 5900...

Tagrineth · 24-Jul-2003, 20:35

There was one funny one I saw where someone asked about NV40 and the response was 'What's NV40?'

EDIT:

Quote:

<shane_Bjorn3d> What differences are there between NV35 and NV40 except die size and frequencies?

<NV_Derek> what's NV40?

<NV_Derek> DONE

Also I just saw one question that was evaded completely:

Quote:

<SwedBear> will nvidia encrypt their vidcard drivers in the future ?

<NV_Ben>

)

<NV_Ben> done

HMM.
