    nvidia shader compiler details

    My thoughts after reading the text: Hash values are being used to identify shaders and apps. It is a convenient way to automate the naming of shaders and apps. Just as importantly, hashing makes it difficult for a third party to determine which apps and shaders are being replaced. There is...

    two interesting slides about 9800XT from [H]

    ps. nice pic at DH. ;) You can sure tell that all the available money at ATI is going into R&D from the look of ATI's booth in the photo :) ...or maybe GL guy has been "bad" and we're looking at his new office at ATI world headquarters. The good news is that in case of a fire, he'll...

    Please

    wear your seatbelts and make sure that your friends & loved ones do as well. I got the easy duty this morning as the nine year old that I worked on was not severely injured. Although, if you are nine, 100+ stitches is probably 'severe'. His mother, older brother, and himself were wearing...

    What exactly is this ?

    Hello David G. I am just guessing but I think that this is a video (as in NTSC or PAL) processor of some sort. No PCI edge connector, no memory... I looks like a sound in and out jacks, an composite video (in probably) and a coax connector for an antenna (given the "Wireless System" text...
