NVIDIA Fermi GF100 detailed: ATI-besting GPU

, Jan 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

NVIDIA have been spilling the beans on the Fermi GF100, the company's 40nm GPU with a full 512 CUDA cores, which they reckon will deliver not only exceptional gaming performance but film-like geometric graphics.  To do so, they've thrown out much of the traditional graphics pipeline structure and introduced far more parallel geometry processing; in fact the GF100's GigaThread engine can flip between contexts - DirectX 11 for rendering, CUDA for selective ray tracing, Direct Compute for post-processing and PhysX for simulations - in around 20 microseconds.

NVIDIA readies GTX 360 and GTX 380 video cards

, Dec 14th 2009 Discuss [0]

The video card market has been hurt by the poor economy for sure. To address the slipping sales of high-end video cards NVIDIA and ATI have been sticking pretty much to mid-range and low end video cards over the last few months with a few exceptions. NVIDIA is now apparently set to launch a couple new high-end parts in a new family called GTX 300. Read The Full Story

Intel axe Larrabee GPU over developmental delays

, Dec 7th 2009 Discuss [0]

Intel's Larrabee based graphics chip plans have been axed, after the company decided development delays had left the project uncompetitive.  Announced back in August 2008, the GPU was to be based on multiple Pentium CPUs with 64-bit instructions and multi-threading, and offer "the full programmability of the CPU with the kinds of parallelism and other special capabilities of graphics processors".

ATI Radeon HD 5970 5 TeraFLOP graphics card debuts

, Nov 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

You can't doubt AMD's commitment to marketing speech: the company is describing their new ATI Radeon HD 5970 as the "fastest graphics card in the world", and from glancing at the specifications it certainly looks potent.  The Radeon HD 5970 - which we saw leaked in recent weeks - packs DirectX 11 support, dual Cypress graphics processors for up to 5 TeraFLOPS of power, and the potential for twice that if you hook up twin HD 5970 cards using CrossFireX.  A single card can, thanks to Eyefinity, create a 7,680 x 1,600 workspace across three displays.

NVIDIA Ion LE DirectX 10 hack suggests purposefully crippled features

, Oct 29th 2009 Discuss [1]

NVIDIA's Ion LE promises to deliver the same 1080p HD playback as its regular Ion sibling, but at a cheaper price; to do that, it drops DirectX 10 support in favor of solely accommodating DX9.  It turns out that the limitation is, in fact, an arbitrary one and that the Ion LE seems to have been artificially crippled by NVIDIA themselves; MyHPMini forum member runawayprisoner found that by slightly modifying HP's own Ion drivers he could get them to install for the Ion LE.
