http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,147112-c...ps/article.html The first, a high-end GeForce GTX 280 with 240 processors and 1GB of frame buffer memory, sells at a spit-take-worthy price of $649 starting June 17. What does that that mean for these PCI Express 2.0 cards that pack 1.4 billion transistors? Nvidia promises that the GTX 280 is 1.5 times faster than a high-end 8800 / 9800-series GPU. While our testing continues, we can tell you that EA's Crysis ran twice as fast at 1920 by 1200-pixel resolution with 4x Anti-Aliasing compared to Asus' EN8800GT Top (on average, 8800GT cards cost about $200. For those doing the math at home: you're getting 2x the performance…

ATI: Expect DirectX 11 and 40 nm GPUs in 2009 DX11 is expected to bring several substantial advancements over DX10, including the introduction of Shader Model 5.0, as well as GPGPU support and multithreading support, both of which are essential for the graphics industry and the myriad of multi-core graphics cards that exist today. Also, hardware tessellation will be supported by DX11. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ati-dx11-40nm-gpu,6462.html Good times ahead for Vista and Windows 7 users with DX11 You will still need to have Vista as the minimum OS, the package is being released with the next iteration of Windows – Windows 7 – and so will be compatible …

The GeForce GTX 295 is coming, but with a bit less bang than NVIDIA had probably hoped for. It has a performance advantage in FarCry 2 but loses that performance advantage in Fallout 3, a game we know a lot of people are playing this holiday season. Albeit the GTX 295 does not suffer some of the graphical bugs that plague the 4870 X2 in Fallout 3 that give the true gaming advantage to the GTX 295. While it may not have won the performance crown in every game here today, it did manage to match the Radeon HD 4870 X2 for the highest playable in-game settings in each game we tested. NVIDIA has definitely made this a worthy competitor to the Radeon HD 4870 X2. But in n…

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2338922,00.asp "Graphics maker Nvidia Corp. said fourth-quarter revenue will decline by up to 50 percent sequentially, due to weakness in end-user demand." Typical nVidia, blame your end-users and not the fact that your products have not kept up for the last year or the fact that you promised Intel to develop drivers for the x38 and x48 chipsets, then gave them the FU right at the last minute. The x38, x48 and x58 can do both ATi Crossfire and nVidia SLi (that was the promise) but nVidia flat out refuses to develop drivers. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20090...venue-drop.html Recall that Ion is NVIDIA's name…

At the last LAN... Bflo, Raimondo, and Dewenem77 were all playing this game if you can recall. It's a first person shooter that really stands out for 2 reasons. It's ballistics are the best I've seen anywhere (shoot whatya aim at) and it's objectivity and gameplay in general. Two Teams: Allies (usually offensive) and Axis (usually defending) Allies have to for example in the map "Fuel Dump" build the bridge get the Tank across, blow the Tunnel Gates, Guide tank to Axis Base and blow their wall... Get inside disable the fence to setup for Planting Dynamite at the 2 Fuel Dumps. 30 Minutes to decide who wins. 4 Classes that you can choose from on your either team…

This is really old but is still to much fun. Need a windows version, only issue is most windows processes can not be killed. http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/ "Certain processes are vital to the computer's operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated. "

WCG Finals 2004: Let the Games Begin! "People also started to set up in the BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer area). Some of the players were using the BYOC to practice while other who were not a part of the games were there just to LAN for themselves. Matt "Vector" Conwell, the event organizer of PDXLAN, made the trip down from Portland, Oregon to participate in the BYOC." ... "Shuttle, who was one of the main sponsors, supplied all of the XPC systems for the tournament area. Shuttle had an area inside the center with 16 systems for people to play on. They also had a tent outside, with even more systems. The tent was set up with chairs and a TV so people could relax." …

Montreal's PureLAN 7 THG: What draws people to Pure LAN events? Vincent: "In my own opinion I think that Pure LAN offers good value for one's gaming dollar. Time tested formula, affordable price, generous giveaways and a nice venue go a long way in making people happy. Each year, LQJR holds a survey among its members, and the survey results helps us in making the right choices for the next event; it's probably the best way for a LAN organization to stay ahead of the game."

Star Wars: Republic Commando - Final thoughts... "After starting in, you'll begin to see that Republic Commando is stacked with character. In fact, each member of Delta Squad has his own personality. While they're part of the clone army, they're often referred to by other clones as "deluxe models" due to their higher training that not only gives them more skills but also unique traits that complement each other in a team unit. Because they're so functional together, they're given all of the nasty jobs that the normal clones would die trying. For the most part, I can dig this change in the clone philosophy. It kind of makes sense. A group of four that acts as a clo…

Digital distribution: Keep the money and run? Valve has since split with Vivendi in a highly publicized trademark infringement lawsuit. But, prior to the settlement, Vivendi announced in January -- two months after the game's release -- that it had sold 1.7 million units of "Half-Life 2" in stores. Valve won't talk about how many units it's sold through Steam, but Lombardi describes the venture as being "extremely successful. Even though the lion's share of our sales is still at retail, the digital units are wildly more profitable for us."

Atari Facing Lawsuit by Rollercoaster Creator Troubled Atari is facing a $4.8 million lawsuit by RollerCoaster Tycoon creator Chris Sawyer, who claims the company owes him unpaid royalties. Sawyer is alleging that Atari miscalculated payments from game sales during the period 1999 to 2003. Of the $180 million generated by RollerCoaster Tycoon, Sawyer received around $30 million, but he says this is shy of the figure he ought to have received.
