    R420 to sport 12 pipelines

    Is there a paticular reason that you guys are discussing quads beyond the inquirer story? How about a design where they have 16 on chip but the ability to turn off individual pipes if they are defective. It may turn out that a 4 pipe reduction is enough to have clear product differentation...

    Continual Reload Issue On IE5.5Sp2/W2000

    IE was upgraded and main page works normally now. Upgraded to 6.0. No problems now. BTW, it never actually loaded the page. It maintained a gray blank screen. I watched the progress bar show some items loaded and then it would jump to 100% and then start over.

    Continual Reload Issue On IE5.5Sp2/W2000

    I read B3d at work and in the last couple days the main B3d site continually reloads itself prior to finishing the initial load. I read the site from home (IE6/W2000) and have no problem. I am behind a firewall/proxy at work of an undetermined type. I can directly navigate to the forums...

    Time to bore you with another demo

    In case anyone wondered. I just built a 1.1 Ghz Athalon, 100Mhz Sdram, using a 16mb Pro-Savage (agp 4x) card. That system gets about 3 FPS and crashes after 30 seconds or so of flying around. Looks good until then. One thing. You must draw the textures based on a cube. The textures...

    The Noize

    You know, it shouldn't be so difficult to have two password levels assigned to profiles. The generic level that is assigned upon membership and one that B3D could assign after the requester answer technical questions of some sort to establish his/her credentials. In the same sense that a...

    KT400: What to Expect?

    Ok, I am preparing to upgrade from a 800P3/133FSB SDR to a XP1900+ model on a MB based on either the KT333 or KT400 chipset. I plan on unlocking the XP to get the FSB up to either 183Mhz or 200Mhz. I plan to purchase 3200 DDR from Kingston and then apply heatsinks hoping for 200Mhz at...

    NV30 RUMORED spec`s from Guru 3D

    http://www.guru3d.com/forum/read_msg.php?tid=5320&forumid=ubb2 Ok, this rumored TTL engine sounds a lot like what the rampage would have had. It sure is interesting to start supporting glide and blur effects at the same time. Any insights? Any chance of this being correct? Omen Card...
