Who will dominate the graphics market?

[akira888]

What I don't understand about the NV30 and its' "finesse" is that it only integrates four FP ALU's (which have to be shared with the texture units). The R3XX on the other hand has 24 (8 for texture coords). Even if NV30 had 100 percent computational efficency (ie every cycle an instruction is issued on every ALU) it still couldn't approach the real world performance of ATi in PS2.0+.

What does "NIH" stand for? (Sorry, I'm a thicky.)

NIH = Not Invented Here

Thanks.

No Problem! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I can help out somehow.

Happy Holidays!

the players in DX 9 as of now are

1. ATi
2. Nvidia
3. S3
4. XGI but do they even have DX9 hardware yet?

Does nVidia really belong on that list? :|

Dig, according to their PR, Nvidia is the only one who belongs on that list.

In the real world we have to give them a bye because they have so much marketing muscle and influence on some sites.

ROFL~~~

Good comeback and good point!

Funny how nVidia does not understand what they are doing is wrong....hacking IQ dividing the industry, etc
