S3, the graphics label for VIA, announced their Chrome 500 series graphics chips yesterday, offering up a competitor to the Radeon HD 4350 line as well as other budget cards that provide features at a much lower price.
NVIDIA announced two new entry-level graphics processing products that can be used with workstations. The Quadro FX 470 is a mainboard and the Quadro FX 370 is a PCIe card that can be used with smaller desktop PCs.
NVIDIA’s results for Q3 of the 2009 fiscal year were released this week and they show a significant reduction in revenue when compared to the same time last year. In fact, the drop is about 20% and can most likely be attributed to an $8.3 million charge that resulted from laying off 360 employees.
While we got some leaked information on it on Tuesday, the ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card was officially announced yesterday and it provides consumers with a cheaper option that still carries great specs.
Features for the 4830 graphics card include many that are included in the higher-end models. They are simply cut back a bit [...]
Heavy users of Adobe Creative Suite 4 will know that the only thing worse than a hangover for slowing the design process is a computer unable to keep up. CS4 feasts on processor cycles like supermodels crave bacon; thankfully here’s NVIDIA to the rescue with their Quadro CX, a PCI-E card dedicated to giving the [...]
NVIDIA is demonstrating its latest efforts in interactive ray tracing at SIGGRAPH 2008, using four next-generation Quadro GPUs in an NVIDIA Quadro Plex 2100 D4 Visual Computing System to show linear scaling during rendering of a complex, two-million polygon, anti-aliased automotive styling application. The images here are taken from the demo, which managed 30fps 1920 [...]
I generally try to stay on top of things when it comes to the components in my gaming rig. I usually try to buy a new graphics card once, maybe twice a year, and generally don’t go for the top-of-the-line card. Despite generally being up-to-date, I really haven’t considered purchasing a separate physics card, even [...]
Intel has announced details of their upcoming Larrabee chip, an multi-core x86-based processor that, according to senior principle engineer Larry Seiler, “combines the full programmability of the CPU with the kinds of parallelism and other special capabilities of graphics processors.” Based on multiple Pentium CPUs with 64-bit instructions and multi-threading, Larrabee will offer high-performance graphics [...]
NVIDIA are preparing to pull out of the motherboard business, according to a report by DigiTimes. Citing “sources close to the situation”, it’s claimed that NVIDIA called a meeting with manufacturing partners earlier this week to examine what degree of support their ongoing chipset development would receive; the partners’ response was apparently poor enough to [...]
Low Crysis framerates got you down? There’s a good chance that your graphics card needs an update, and while some of the newer cards are finally able to play on “High” settings, you may want to consider a dual-GPU configuration. Elitegroup Computer Systems has just announced their GeForce 9800 GTX+ Hydra Pack which looks to [...]
