ATi keeps on spinning to try to get R600 right "The reasons why a re-spin might be need can be highly technically convoluted. They can also be ultra simple. Humans, remember, are involved in the production decisions. With A11, as we understand it, the issue was very, very simple. Someone forgot to connect the pins that let the GPU communicate with the outside world. D'oh! Bang goes your Christmas bonus, sunshine! We don't know the state of play with the A13 spin but do understand that ATi has got A12 running at a speed of 1GHz."

NVIDIA Vista Drivers Update: Future Plans Unveiled "NVIDIA told me that they planning to start releasing a new version of their Forceware driver for Vista at least once every month. I say at least because Diercks said that if they find several game fixes or bugs that are substantial they may have intermittent releases as well to help appease the gaming masses. This move is very similar to the driver development cycle that ATI’s Catalyst drivers have been in for a couple of years now, with updates about once a month. Having this type of regular schedule should help NVIDIA users feel more at ease about their purchases knowing that a fixed time length is ahead of them…

Catalyst™ 7.5 Released and they got them out just in time, on the last day of the month. Wonder how much overtime that cost them. Here is the scope... Release Notes Major Game issues - -- - - Resolved Issues for the Windows Vista Operating System This section provides information on resolved issues in this release of the ATI Catalyst Software Suite for Windows Vista. These include: Doom3/Quake 4: Setting the in game options for Video Quality to Medium and Screen Size to 1024x768 no longer results in display corruption being noticed when setting AA to 4x.

ATTILA GPU Simulator This neat!!! "The Attila Project goal is to research and develop high performance microarchitectures for the next generation of GPUs. To this end, the team has started by exploring the performance of the current generation (R580, G70, G80) of rasterization-based GPUs. So far we've produced a full GPU (soft) stack: an OpenGL driver, an Attila driver, and a cycle-accurate simulator of the first incarnation of the Attila architecture. Additionally, the team has produced helper tools to capture open GL traces, play the captured traces and a WaveForm visualizer for the Attila simulator."

If ATI won a round, would anyone notice? "Did I read those benchmarks right? Yes. This is Falcon’s fastest ATI Crossfire based system put up against our own fastest SLI based system that PC Magazine had reviewed less than two months earlier. The testing was done under Windows Vista 32-bit. And yes, our ATI based system destroyed the Nvidia based system."

Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 are born "The HD 2400 also sees a split into two SKUs. AMD's kept the XT and PRO naming structure in place and, like the HD 2600 series, both are distinguished solely in terms of different clockspeeds. Remember, however, that the sub-£50 pricing will be reflected in performance. It may adhere to DX10 and be adequate at, say, 1024x768 but its architecture is such that it'll (rightfully) struggle with any serious load."

Well looking for a better video card for my linux box I came across a write up on how when AMD merged with ATi they decided to start releasing the linux catayst's at the same times as the Windows driver. Since that time I nocticed that the driver was delayed a few times and once almost did not make it before months end. Some of you my find this interesting as I doubt it is writen up on an Windows site. The Truth About ATI/AMD & Linux This article has been in the works for several months now and these slides covering their Linux development overview for the AMD Graphics Products Group were finalized in April of 2007. AMD provides updated display Catalyst dr…

Nvidia cynically fiddled video benchmarks "THERE HAS BEEN quite a bit of talk lately about Nvidia fiddling with certain video tests, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. The problem is merely hinted at an understanding of the way it manipulated benchmarks, the real damage is revealed in how it did so - through sleazy underhanded playing of the media. The problem is simple, Nvidia can't do video decode well, and the current media darling benchmark, HQV - especially in the HD version of the benchmark - is eating its hardware alive. On quality, Nvidia regularly loses about 25 per cent of its score in a noise reduction test - enough, to more or less take it out of…

GPU vs. CPU Upgrade: Extensive Tests "Geforce 6 and 7 cards are hardly suitable for current games and modern LCD resolutions—the higher graphics settings in the test show that the older graphics chips really have reached their limits. This is obvious, at the very latest, when you try to combine a Geforce 6800 GT with a more powerful CPU, which does not achieve any palpable increase in 3D performance. However, games are not 100% dependent on the graphics card; the Geforce 8 and 9 require a basic level of power, otherwise they are unable to exploit their 3D potential. The speed of the CPU should lie somewhere between 2600 and 3000 MHz; any lower, and the new graphic…

http://www.neoseeker.com/news/9078-ati-hd5...nd-multi-core-/ 40nm, 1000+ shaders, and...multi-core? DX11 and SM5! Thanks in part to the small size of the GPU, the HD 5870 X2 is going not have two seperate GPU's -- instead it will be two RV770 cores stacked on top of each other, sort of like Pentium-D style.

Albatron and Galaxy to go ATI "Since Nvidia already limited Albatron to the Asian market only it was easy to be expected that they would start selling ATI." Also Galaxy "The company is part of the big group of graphics world controlling people better known as Palit, and since Palit itself and its branches, including Gainward, are selling ATI based products, it was just natural to see Galaxy ATI based cards." "This is yet another win for ATI sales team.This leaves EVGA and Zotac to remain the only major Nvidia only players." http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...7&Itemid=38
