    Can XBox Live upload a .csv? :wink:

    1900XT vs GTX

    Good post. You address alot of competitive concerns between the cards.

    ATI's decision concerning TMUs

    I have read a few places that stream processing is ideal for physics calculations hence the potential of the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia and Sony have reached an agreement to offer GPUs with Cell processors to do physics calculations. We could call it a GPPU. :wink:

    ATI's decision concerning TMUs

    This is not how corporate world works. Nvidia answers to their stockholders and not to the consumer. Price cuts aren't made to satisfy the consumer unless there is a benefit to the stockholder. The same goes for ATI. edited for grammar because i suck at it.

    David Kirk of NVIDIA talks about Unified-Shader (Goto's article @ PC Watch)

    I disagree with you. As power requirements are getting higher for CPUs and GPUs, it is advantageous to design a chip that is drawing less power and requires a smaller, less noisy fan to keep it at the correct operating temperature. The 7900 gt and the 7600 gt are perfect examples of this. Lower...

    David Kirk of NVIDIA talks about Unified-Shader (Goto's article @ PC Watch)

    I think his initial statement on unified shaders came out a bit harsher than he would have liked. There is undoubtedly some benefit to it and it is clear to him that there is. I think what he is trying to say is hey, it's a good idea, but it does have its drawbacks and we are going to move alot...

    Let the beating begin!

    And how is he suppose to validate this article? Somehow I don't think ATI or Nvidia is going to share this information. He clearly states this is an educated guess and may not be 100% accurate. It is at least a start to trying to understand how ATI and Nvidia's yields and costs may be affected...

    NVIDIA Morgan Stanley Webcast: Sony, G80 and 80/65nm

    It clarifies the API will be unified, but doesn't confirm that the actual hardware will be unified like ATI's.

    So umm, dual GPU on one card is a nice little end around by Nvidia

    If it performs good and the price is right, I am all for it.

    So umm, dual GPU on one card is a nice little end around by Nvidia

    We should wait to see how it is implemented before jumping to conclusions. Perhaps it is using a different methodology for utilizing two cores simultaneously then the standard SLI or Crossfire systems.

    The first IHV to announce Vista-compliant hardware

    I would have to say Nvidia since they are going to be releasing a chip in the near future. I can't see either vendor releasing a chip that doesn't support Vista if Vista is suppose to ship at the end of this year. The product cycle is just too close IMO.

    R590 - Will we see this beast?

    I thought this forum disliked IHVs releasing new cards every three months. Suddenly there is a change in opinion on this? OR does it depend on which IHV is doing it? :wink:

    Origin of Quake3's InvSqrt()

    too much good stuff here. Now to avoid the link Maven provided so that I am not reminded how little I remember from my assembly classes. :wink:

    Memory consumption in recent games

    Nice clear results. Overclocking the gtx definitely has its benefits. Did you run any benchmarks with just memory overclocks?

    16x supersampling (4xSS x 4xMS) amazing

    I heard about this new Opteron. Are all the SLI boards compatible with that cpu?
