Well, the way I see it, nVidia is really the one leading in terms of GPU technology right now. Why? Because looks at the differences between AMD and nVidias' previous and current options in performance. nVidia's GTX 280 is a card with 240 Shader Units, that pretty much matched the 9800 GX2, which had 256 Shader Units (128 x 2). Now, you have to ...

I'm with SergeiV on this one- other than RAM and Hard Drive (and in some cases, Wireless and/or Bluetooth modules), the specs you choose (display size & resolution, processor, graphics card and most other hardware) are not upgradeable.  For gamers, the GPU is the single most important component of a laptop.  Because it can't be ...

I need a new PCI video card.  My PCI express slot is taken.  I am looking for one in the $40-$60 range.  I must have dvi output.  I want it for mostly hd movies.  Gaming is very low on my list. 

I finished this new build which should be on the system specs below When I finish installing XP, get the chipset drivers on, and then reboot and install the nvidia drivers, I reboot again: I'm locked in 256 color mode in 800x600 with no way to change the settings. Steps taken so far:Update pq5 pro Bios from Asus websiteReinstall XP and try ...

I'm planning on buying this card: EVGA 9800 GX2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130343   Now I know that from the 8 series on, nVidia cards have phyx chipd built in. But, the other day, I had a thought, could I buy a Phyx card and run with this 9800 GX2, and see a boost in performance? Would it be worth the extra ...

My question is: What benifits will I get out of PhysX when using 3D modeling applications like 3D Studio MAX, Bryce, Poser and especialy my favorite TrueSpace 7.6? Will I get benifits durring the modeling phase or just durring real time rendering?

browsing around and chat with newegg live customer service, looking for a good wattage budget power unit with at least 80 plus certified. came across this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817611006 its only 99 bucks after MIR, and 80 plus certified (Energy-Efficient document.write(neg_specification_newline('80 PLUS ...

I wanted to ask with a multi Gpu solution would it increase your overall physx proformance?  I love the inclusion of physx in GPUs where do you think Nvidia will go with Physx in the future?

I trust the PhysX could handle particle systems and liquid simulations rather well. The question is; would it be possible, in current and future releases of PhysX hardware, for users to develop a game engine that will enable the PhysX capabilities to calculate light particles where it will effect heat and weight of objects entangled within the ...

I'm an Electrical Engineering student at ASU; here's my question: Does Nvidia plan to implement any new instruction sets in the current GPU architecture that will be specially tailored for PhysX calculations? (I assume there are at least a few operations that PhysX requires a lot of that typical GPU's aren't optimized for yet)

''The PhysX engine can run on any CUDA-based NVIDIA GPU, which includes GeForce 8000, 9000 and 200-series video cards'' Will this apply to Intel-based Macintosh (Mac Pro) computers?  

This is something I've been wondering:     Can CUDA enabled PhysX work on SLI? Is the load shared or is one dedicated to PhysX?   Also, Will Nvidia manufacture a dedicated PPU?   One more actually, Will Nvidia make a similar CUDA translation for Havok? A large number of mainstream games would then be available to ...

Sooo hows NVIDIA stack up against competition?

Ask NVIDIA a PhysX QuestionYou could win one of three PhysX-ready NVIDIA video cards! Please Note -The video cards in this image are shown as an example; The three winners will be able to choose a video card from current Newegg.com stock at the time the contest closes (details below). What is PhysX? If you were an early adopter of ...

The 8600 series won't work on the P5Q series. Reading on another forum that talked about the board, someone else was having that problem. The board is lacking PCI-E 1.1 support. Though the board has PCI-E 2.0, which is suppose to be backwards compatible with 1.1; ASUS left it out..somehow. I was frustrated myself having a XFX 8600GT XXX 256mb card ...
