nForce 4 SLI X16: Full Speed PCI Express "Ever since its launch in the fall of last year, nForce 4 has brought us SLI capability. Configurations for PCI Express slots in nForce 4 SLI motherboards must be selected by using a paddle that can be flipped to allow for either 2 x8 connections or full bandwidth for one with the other disabled. There is added flexibility on an nForce 4 SLI motherboard, but this flexibility comes with some limitations. Today, NVIDIA sheds the shackles of the paddle selector and limited bandwidth with the new nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset."

He made it clear that most complex shader program in Half life 2 is 90 instructions long. Shader model 2.0b is limited to 768 instructions which is more than enough. Shader model 3.0, heavily promoted by Nvidia, is limited to 65536. Crytek's most complex shader that it uses to creat incredible looking water in Far Cry is 50 instructions long. Crytek CEO and key Far Cry person Cevat Yeril…

Samsung SyncMaster 915N: 8ms Response Times "Just to rehash - we don’t have a lot of faith in advertised response times. If there are significant response time differences, there is usually a hit in performance somewhere else, like luminance or contrast ratio. It becomes easy to fall prey to benchmarks that measure response times in only certain scenarios, which is why all of our reviews use comprehensive real world comparisons between all of our displays to set the playing field level."
