Nvidia and ATi Readying DX11 Ready Cards

Sep 3

Posted by noobcake-admin in Computers | 2 Comments

According to Digitimes, the two major GPU makes are already readying the next generation cards that’ll be capable of DirectX 11. The said cards will be available by the end of the year.

Nvidia’s GT300 series cards will be done by end of this month and will be ready for shipping by December of this year.

With the ATi’s 5800 series will also be done by around the same time Nvidia’s GT300 series, but they’ll start shipping 2 months earlier which is around October. A little too fast. As usual trying to catch up to beat the competition.

This’ll pretty much mean that price drops are coming. Upgrades are coming. Time to save up. LOL. I ain’t upgrading my GTX295 anytime soon. I’m still saving up for an i7.

SLi on P45!

Aug 6

Posted by noobcake-admin in Computers, Gaming | No Comments

Intel X58 is the First and only non-NVIDIA chipset to get SLI technology, and the users of Intel X38/X48/P45 motherboards probably hate the fact that their hardware doesn’t support SLI. However, everything has changed now…

One reader named Firewings [CCG] at Expreview forum (Chinese version) has figured out the way to get SLI support for its Asus Maximus Formula motherboard based on Intel X38 chipset, with one NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT and one GeForce GTX 260 graphics card.

Expreview.com has contacted the reader and run a quick test for validation. We chose Intel QX9650 OC (4GHz) CPU, Asus Maximus II Formular motherboard, one Yeston GeForce GTX260+ 896GD3, and one Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ graphics card for the test.

Too Little Too Late: Nvidia GPU’s get Directx 10.1

Jun 30

Posted by noobcake-admin in Computers, Gaming | No Comments

 

Nvidia’s GT200 generation will get a 40nm refresh, and from what we hear, the new chips will all become DirectX 10.1 compatible.

This comes a few years too late as ATI has introduced its first DirectX 10.1 capable chips in the summer of 2007, but knowing Nvidia, they will be able to convince the market that DirectX 10.1 time is just happening. Nvidia will also preach that it will take a while until DirectX 11 hits off and they are probably right about that one.
We’ve heard GT210 and GT220 brands associated with the new products, but there is not much we can confirm at press time.

This refresh should be coming in end of summer or early September time and naturally, 40nm means higher clocks and less thermal dissipation.

A little too late to be releasing DirectX 10.1 isn’t it? Nvidia’s done it all wrong I think. They should have released DirectX 10.1 ready cards around 6-9 months ago.

I noticed there’s a rise of resellers of Deepcool products in TipidPC.

 

What is Deepcool?

Well it’s a product line that’s chinese owned and also based in China. It’s owned by Beijing Xinquansheng Industry And Trade Co., LTD. Pretty long name I’d say. LOL. Good thing they have an english version of their site.
