Wow. Talk about a trip down memory lane! LOL Seems like a decade ago.....talking about new tech with Dig, JohnReynolds, Uttar, etc. On one hand you had the NVNews forums, and on the other you had Rage3D forums. B3D was always the battleground and always made for good reading.(still does)

Is anyone going to PDX Lan this year? If so, stop by the booth and say hi...I'll be there Friday through Monday... ;)

Thanks again guys...

Thanks for the positive posts guys, greatly appreciated! :wink:

Hey guys, Well, as many of you likely know I just joined NVIDIA as a member of their technical marketing team. After years of being a part of the industry with positions at nV News, HardOCP, AMDMB, Hot Hardware, and PC Perspective and years of being a part of the community here at B3D I...

I'm getting ready to pickup a PDP-5080HD Kuro model the end of this month, but I'm hoping to have the 1080P Kuro models help drop the price a bit. Although every review claims the TV is worth every cent, it's still a good chunk of money. The cheapest I can find online is ~$2500 shipped (vs $3500...

Congrats on the new position and best of luck with the move! :)

Say what you will, but the iPod UI revolutionized the UI for most consumer electronics. Prior to its release, most UI's were extremely complex and tough to navigate. Apple illustrated the fact that you can look simple and easy to use while still retaining the same granularity and functionality...

I see that Humus is going to work for Avalanche Studios...does anyone know where Evenden is going? It'd be great to update this thread with the places these people are going so we can still harass them every now and then... :D

LOL...I don't think you'll find anyone on the planet who would disagree that... ;)

This would seem to go along well with the way NVIDIA has acted since NV30. With NV30, they tried a brand new process (130u) with a brand new complex enthusiast architecture. The less than stellar yields taught them a very painful lesson... Since then, NVIDIA has been very careful to "debut"...

When Microsoft and Sony are ready with 65u parts, I highly doubt you'll see any news or official statements indicating when those are shipping. Rather, each vendor will simply begin populating new consoles with the new parts. You won't see any markings on the boxes indicating anything is...

Let's remember that we're talking about AMD and not about ATI.....AMD's "chief" business is CPU production.......Regardless of how well the GPU division performs, AMD is doomed if their CPU business fails to remain competitive...To that end, their primary concern is Intel. Intel threatens...

Honestly, I think we're just too used to the fact that ATI and NVIDIA have always made a "top to bottom" product line...However, there is nothing saying that either vendor MUST do so.. If we use the car industry as an analogy... Let's say NVIDIA and ATI have been traditionally much like BMW...

The complexity of the design is not any less, however the design is far more tolerant. (lower frequencies, lower power, fewer transistors, etc.) Designs for mainstream GPU's typically don't have to deal with the Achille's Hell of flagship GPU's which would be leakage and yield issues. Because...
