nVidia

With the recent announcement of Google Chrome OS, many are wondering what Microsoft should do about it. Though doing nothing might work, it is doubtful that the greater market will see it that way.
As rough and slipshod as Chrome OS might be today, we know that the Google development cycle never stops, unlike the fitful [...]

It has not been a good time for makers of custom PCs, as the economy makes all but the most mundane of purchases look extravagant. Also, there hasn’t been lots of talk about the cottage industry of high performance computers since the purchase of Alienware by Dell. Though Alienware still survives (barely), Dell seems to [...]

Many stories have been speaking of the problems with the supply of new processors that both AMD and nVidia are having lately. Unfortunately for nVidia, while AMD shows off a few DX 11 cards, nVidia is limping along with DX 10.1 offerings, which are not at the top of their current lineup.
EVGA, MSI, Palit, and [...]

The release of Windows 7 in no small way has pushed the graphics board market ahead, when the the computer market is just now waking from the long sleep induced by the economy.
In an effort to supply a better Aero graphics experience, many users not otherwise upgrading hardware have purchased new add-in boards, and manufacturers [...]

Yes, Matrox, the name no one remembers when asked about graphics card manufacturers, because they don’t do 3D, used to be, before the days of Voodoo, a pretty decent card maker.
I have fond memories of a Matrox Mystique, and it was spectacular for the time. I never understood why they chose not to compete in [...]

While we all know that many times the things said are not the same as what is getting done in the back rooms of the corporate world, the leader of nVidia has always appeared to be a straight shooter,  though somewhat colorful in his speaking.
A story this morning from Maximum PC tends to dash the [...]

Intel doesn’t like to be talked about in a disparaging way. After a long time of no delivery on a product, effectively making it vaporware, a new amount of work is going into the Larrabee project, and the actual product may be materializing.
This morning, which is odd enough, as not much news in the computer [...]

The problems of the world continue no matter the hopes and best wishes of any business or corporate entity. That is the reason we have so many reports of the early sales of Windows 7 being up, by as much as 234%, according to some reports, yet other reports state that PC sales are down. [...]

Rumors abound concerning the possible entry of nVidia into the CPU market. Though now is more of a tough time to break new things than any in recent memory, I am sure it would be a great idea.
In any market, a third entry makes the other two perk up and get a lot less comfortable [...]

AMD seems to believe that simply because it has released a new set of good quality video cards that it suddenly owns the world. This doesn’t jibe with the story going around about more layoffs in a few weeks at the company.
To top that off, the company has been suffering from a lack of product, [...]

After attending a Microsoft Windows Launch Event yesterday, along with a Developer’s Track, I can see how much change there is in Windows 7 that has largely been ignored by the press.
Though I still hate the lack of the hierarchical menu system, I can see that the changes to the taskbar are many, and again, [...]

The casual user or part time gamer will find nothing interesting about the release coming from nVidia thru eVGA in a few days. In a much different move than anything done by a mainstream graphics company previously, nVidia will be releasing a dual GPU video card. That of itself is not new; what is new [...]

Opinions are like noses, and sometimes they all blow, so you may regard this as just another if you wish. I do think, however, that some people have an over-bloated sense of universal knowledge, i.e. knowledge of the universe.
I am referring to the blogger who started the current flap, by stating that Vista was a [...]

Larrabee, as most power users know, is the ‘answer’ to the question “Why does Intel always make graphics that suck?” It is to be the Core to AMD’s Barcelona, in the war of the big guns in computing.
Anyone who has used onboard Intel graphics, or was unlucky enough to purchase one of the older i740 [...]

All the rumors are true. The end of nVidia motherboards is here, as the chipset maker fights with Intel over access to the connections of the latest CPUs, which it says will take some time. No court battle is mentioned with AMD, but the company says there is no demand for nVidia chipsets for AMD [...]
