The best part about the 4GHz is that you get it times two, you see the SkullTrail platform is based on server boards repurposed for gaming, so most of them have two processor sockets in them. MainGear is sticking an Intel QX9775 Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor in each socket.
We knew that Nvidia had some big plans when they announced the acquisitions of PhysX creator Ageia. I honestly thought that this would be one of those things that moved slowly, with no real news for several months at the earliest. However, Nvidia has hit the ground running with this and is already working on [...]
Maingear is a new company to me, but apparently they make boutique, one off custom gaming PC’s. Word on the streets is they are pretty good at it too since NVIDIA entrusted them to make the computers that they sent around to the press to show off their new 3-way SLI system.
You may not have heard of the PhysX chip before, but if you own one of the current-gen gaming consoles, you’ve used it. As you would likely guess from its name, the chip processes all of the physics-related events in your favorite games. PhysX is owned by Ageia and works in conjunction with the [...]
I’m something of a multitasker. By that I mean that I have no fewer than 4 screens at my desk. Granted, they’re not all hooked up to the same computer, but with the use of a handy program called Synergy (look it up, you’ll love it) it feels like they’re all on the same [...]
This means that this single graphics card is more powerful than the Cray-1. ATI and AMD both seem to have problems playing catch-up with their competitors, but generally when they land one; it’s a good amount ahead of the curve of their competitors.
Once again nVidia has claimed the most powerful mobile graphics solution title by combining a pair of super fast 8800M GTX GPUs. I don’t think there is a single game out now that this duo can’t display at max resolution with a more than decent frame rate.
Judging from this prototype image they are in fact working on just that, a dual GPU graphics card based on the GeForce 9800. The reason it looks like they took apart a pair of 9800’s and inverted one of them on top of the other and combined the interfaces is because that’s more or less [...]
That means you can start expecting to see the new mobile graphics chips in your favorite high end laptop manufacturers product lines. They both work with DX9 and DX10 and include PowerMizer tech to keep power usage down when you aren’t gaming or watching HD content.
I had the pleasure of toying around with the Alienware [...]
AMD/ATI have finally released a GPGPU. For those of you not in the know, the extra GP on the front of that is for General Purpose, meaning its not really used for graphics.
In fact, as you can see from the picture, there aren’t even any ports to output a signal. But don’t be fooled, these [...]
