I posted this article for all the newbs on Gamespot. I figured that a lot of people on this forum need to know this stuff as well.
For all you uninformed people praying to god that intel buys nvidia....well guess what....that won't happen....because last year intel had the chance between purchasing nvida or investing into communications....and guess what they chose......thats right....communications. Stupid Intel.
However...for all you Intel/ Nvidia fanboys out there:
Because AMD is now merged with ATI...intel will remove ati from there mobo chipsets...and become more "closely related" with nvida.....but the funny thing about that....there still is no partnership....and there are no plans of a partnership in the future. AND AMD WALKS AWAY WITH SLI.....thats right....no more sli for nvidia until plans are ammended with intel.....they are going to miss the first gen directx10 race...
Besides...the new Core duo 2 proecessor now holds the cheapest price/performance lead....and....they are better than the previously reigning AMD processor they run cooler...and use less voltage. /clap intel you did something right for a change. But....remember...your comparing last gen processors to new gen processors....just wait till AMD releases there new quad core in early 07' /goodbye intel
For all you peeps complainging about integrated solutions....go do some research...because they arent refering to crappy onboard intell/ati express graphics cards.....they are refering to a new technology that they would like to implement that places a gpu dye on the cpu or something similar. CPU/GPU combo basically.
--AND THE FUNNIEST THING--
Nvidia just lost the only company that supported SLI....so now nvidia **WONT HAVE SLI** in the next generation on direct x10 games.
And ATI crossfire lives on to dominate Ageia physx with the upcoming addition to new motherboards that support 2 gfx cards running crossfire config focusing on gfx with 1 gfx card running physx... ( thats 3 pci-e 16x lanes)
-OR-
1 gfx card running gfx and 1 gfx card running physx (thats 2 pci-e 16x lanes)
--AND THE GREATEST THING--
AMD/ATI have always been the #1 choice among hardcore gamers.
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN...
***IMPORTANT***
BTW....nvidia fans that are all like "Nvidias drivers are sooo much better than ATI's".....might i remind you that nvidia has done 3 illegal optimizations to there drivers that showed performance yeilds over ati cards in aquamark and 3dmark even though the card wasn't capable of what the test score showed. Its all over the internet....check it out...nvidia is full of a bunch of cheaters.
And because of there cheating....directx 10 excluded Nvidia from the Directx 10 conference so nvidias cards wont be 100% compatible with Directx 10 graphical features
"Nvidia's NV38 (along with the rest of the FX series) has been dubbed as a substandard card by the DX Development Team. THIS MEANS THAT DX WILL NOT INCLUDE NVIDIA IN ITS DEVELOPEMENT RANGE FOR DIRECTX 10. Team DX made the decision "as a favor to the graphics industry". Team DX claims that NV violated their partnership agreement by changing the DX9 code with their latest set of drivers as caught by Xbit labs recently. This violates the licensing agreement and conpromises DX's quality in order to make it seem as if ATi and NV cards alike display the same image quality (which would be really bad in this case)."
ALSO....intel got caught in a large scandle last month....they were paying a major distributions office over in europe to not allow AMD products into the retail stores around that region. Currently intel awaits trial agains AMD for "unfair play"....intel is also full of a bunch of cheaters.
