NVIDIA is the Only GPU Manufacturer with PCI Express Products on the PCI-SIG Integrators List

Can somebody explain to me why they are the only GPU Manufacturer on the list in simple terms please? :?

It was discussed quite a while ago. The only new news is Nvidia making a press release about it.

They're the only manufacturer who's video cards have passed PCI-SIG's PCIE testing/certification.

That must have been at the same time I was posting inside info that would produce an 800% return on your investment. Must have missed the discussion somehow then. :?

Of course!

The question I have is ....... WHY!

 

[kyleb]

wouldn't shock me if they were the only ones tested.

Wow, only 2 motherboards certified. I guess all other are defective

 

[oddfellow]

There are currently NO graphics cards or motherboards approved by the Official oddfellow testing and approvement boardâ„¢.

Manufacturers are welcome to start submitting current and developmental hardware for evaluation as soon as they wish.

ATi doesn't seem to have any problem selling PCI-E cards...so this certification must not be all that important...funny that ATi has placed so much emphasis on PCI-E and yet isn't on this list...whatever it is, I"m sure it's BS...

Can someone clarify why the X600 is in the component section? It's also a graphics card, isn't it?

Apparently ATI only decided to validate the X600 platform, rather than each individual board variant.
