[citation][nom]pocketdrummer[/nom]It's nice that they're branching out and all, but it's a little retarded to think that the mobile market will ever surpass PCs as a gaming platform. You just can't get the same level of control from your phone or even from a tablet. Maybe they could allow you to attach some peripherals, but then you might as well buy a laptop. And while you're buying a laptop, you might as well put that money towards a decent desktop that will do it faster for the same price or cheaper. I haven't played a game on my phone since the first few months after I bought my phone. Since then, it's just a phone/internet device. My desktop remains my gaming system and my integrated graphics laptop is used for business/school. No hefty dedicated solution to devour my already minuscule battery life...Essentially, it's good that they're focusing on bringing better graphics to mobile devices, but I don't think their specific focus (games) makes a whole lot of sense.[/citation]

well you would be mistaken.

quotes,

" Consoles used to be 80% of the industry as recently as 2000. Consoles today are 40% of the game industry, so what do we really have? We have a new hardware platform and we're putting out software every 90 days. Our fastest growing platform is the iPad right now and that didn't exist 18 months ago."

EA obviously knows more then us about whats going on in gaming. what does this mean? No matter how much you or i may not like it, the mobile market is the fastest growing gaming market to which is also force to be reckoned. Its not gonna take the place of the hardcore graphic space that many of us are addicted to but the user base is massive and many are turning to gaming on these devices.

It only makes since that nvidia would want to exist in this market as much as possible.
 
[citation][nom]ocre[/nom]what? wait? Where sre you from? Are you for real? Nvidia is in the most powerful console sold today, the PS3!!!! You had to have known this, i mean with all dim words you came up wit......to bad you just making stuff up. So, yeah, every PS3 sold has an nvidia GPU in it. I guess this means Nvidia is better? i mean that is your logic, not mine. Its lacking in sooo many ways !)i personally dont see your point in repeating irrelevent BS and flat out, complete lies. But since you made consoles some kinda important bar or whatever, its a beautiful irony that nvidia happens to be in the most powerful console to date. Repeated in your honor!So please jdwii, quit posting BS and get your facts straight. I mean come on dude, its obvious you dont know anything about what you speak of so why are you even posting?[/citation]

How much do nvidia pay you to bash people on their behalf?

classic, call out the bogus lies and propaganda and i get accused of this! I havent pushed an nvidia product nor have i said nvidia was in any way better than its competition. This is quite different from the pos i respond to. I am here just to post facts and thats all i have done.

BTW, i praised AMD and said they have done well unlike the posters i responded to. The overtones in the post to which i responded are more than obvious. this on top of the fact that it was complete fabricated crap, pure bs, got me involved. I think if your gonna post trash you need called out.

As far as me getn payd by nvidia, hahaha. buy AMD gpus if you like them, buy them all day long!!!! they are great!! buy them all day long, i dont care. just dont post lies and propaganda. Did nvidia just pay me to say that? get a freakn life dude! lets here some other nvidia haters say something like this but in reverse, i bet you wont. I dont care what company you buy just stop with the bs.

I am only on the side of reality and truth, nothing else. Too many sites are flooded with dim witted charlies minions and its mostly all based in fantasy. if you dont like nvidia dont buy nvidia, you dont have to make it your life's mission to spread hate and lies on the company.

 


Lol, no. Crysis 2 is a console port and so is Dragon Age II, and I want to see Fusion max it out...

Click to expand...

Sadly, that is right. But I will *never* understand what's the fun of tablet/phone gaming other than to kill some time. I used to play a lot of games on my Symbian phone (mostly RPGs) long time ago, but it's just time killing... You're right, tablets will not take the place of the PC, they'll form their own market, but what enrages me is that a lot of so-called "experts" claim otherwise. Problem is, they forgot to ask PC gamers....
 
[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]if your not a gamer intel IGP is enough, yes. But if you are a gamer, intel IGP is useless. I have an A4 laptop, which I bought in an emergency,it can run every game in xbox 360 quality. By that mean bioshock maxed, valve games maxed, and dead space nearly high with a good 30fps, and thats the weakest llano. its able to run games properly, and is not very slow either. also for the average consumer, the llanos 6 hours battery life kills intels. plz dont be that much of a troll and appreciate the jumps in tech.its clear that the mobile market is rising, but I dont think nvidia should consentrate that much on phones and tablets. I think phone and tablet gaming is gonna die soon because sooner or later, people are going to start missing buttons. Touch screen gaming aint that fun. Itd be interesting to see nvidia release a mainstream low power discrete card for laptops to be included in mainstream intel machines. One that can play alot of games good. But as of now, itll be pretty hard for anyone to slow down AMD and its APU invasion, where budget mobile gaming is concerned.[/citation]

You thought it out.I came to the same conclusion about AMD A4 Fusion CPU based laptops.In addition to being decent at gaming and great long battery life they are very inexpensive too (another big plus).
 
"Mobile gaming has gotten bigger than desktop gaming."
Yes, because these mobile platforms include gamers that are more casual gamers and play games like bejeweled (for example). THOSE PEOPLE ARE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT MOBILE GAMERS RESREACH. It's not just REAL gamers. Real gamers play games on a PC, Console or laptop. A mobile gaming device is simply to get them by until they can get back on thier console or PC.
 
"tablets and mobile phones... ...too long before they eclipse the Nintendo 3DS and Sony's upcoming PlayStation Vita. ...will eventually eclipse the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC itself."

OK Morons...
Listen up.
You can NEVER make a current phone faster than a current PC. Why? COOLING!!!!
The faster a CPU (or GPU) runs, the hotter it gets. Phones don't have fans or even vents. And tablets may have vents but no fans. On the other hand you can design a desktop to have aggressive cooling to allow for a CPU to run MUCH faster.

Lets say you have the same CPU in a phone as you do in a desktop.
To keep that CPU from overheating in your phone you are running the frequency at 1.3GHz... On your desktop however you have a much better means of keeping it cool so you can crank that baby up to 4.1GHz.

To make current phones faster than current PC's. A new type of CPU would need to be invented.

I'm getting really sick of people always saying that the desktop is going away and everything will be mobile everything in the future. That's all fine and dandy for grandma and grandpa that simply check thier e-mail and browse the net I get it, you think it really neat and you are mistified that it works just like a PC but all small devices have crappy processors and slow GPUs. Those gaming graphics may look nice but that is because you phone's screen isn't HD. It's like when you watched a DVD on an SDTV. it looked perfectly fine to everyone until HDTV came out and you could see how much detail you were missing. A desktop (or laptop) has the power to push HD graphics. I have heard of 1 phone or tablet with a 1080 screen.

It's sad to see there are so many blind people in the industries that assume the future is 100% mobile. They just don't understand. They see the current sales numbers and they do serveys asking people about gaming on thier phones but these people are responding to these surveys based on thier time playing brickbreaker and other little rinky dink games.

But you will ALWAYS have people that demand high end computers for video format conversion, gaming, photo editing, video editing, rendering, movie making, game making, file serving and many other things that a phone is not cablable of.
 


THANK YOU so much. It's nice to see there're still sane people on this crazy-ass planet.
 
Although making these damn mobile midgets faster & with better quality graphics will most likely advance other technologies. That is all what I think is good about this technology movement.
 
wow, another nVidia thread and it turns into bashing/flaming instead of being informative with good banter, such a shame.
so when the next AMD article comes out is there still going to be such petty nonsense or can the immature grow up
and represent Tom's well with insightful postings.?

yes, AMD is bigger than nVidia because of all the different technologies AMD is in but nVidia will be around and not going anywhere;
if nVidia expands and gets too larger for their britches then yes, they might get into trouble.
I hope they have things well planned, better than the upcoming 6-series anyways,
I'm hearing shrink problems..

nVidia GPU's are still better graphic (visual) quality to me but I loved my Eyefinity so it's a win-win with growth and development,
the competition will be good and WE will ALL benefit.

as for the move for stronger mobile gaming, it does make sense.
I hope they pull it off and I can be playing Crysis 4 on my tablet while on my way to work in my self-navigated flying car
and my windshield is actually an Eyefinity set-up with 3D / 1080P / 32" LCD's....😀
