I have seen a few games that will only run with an Nvidia graphics card and I have seen a few games that will only run with an ATI graphics card. About how many games are like this and what are they?

Running Intel quad core cpu with 3x nvidia 8800GTX’s – its a 3way sli motherboard but the cards are all running independently. (Complete specs are listed below). Had to use xserver-xgl to get it working correctly. Each …

Do I Need NVIDIA SLI Technology For My Notebook Computer?

hero — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:36:19 +0000

When shopping for a notebook computer, there are a few things that you should consider before making your purchase. Of course, the price is one of the primary determining factors when deciding which notebook to get, however, there’s one other thing that should be considered even before you and your computer salesperson talk about price. You must carefully check a notebook computer’s specifications – see what it has ‘inside’ – so that you can establish whether it is particularly suitable for the portable computing tasks that you have in mind.

NVIDIA SLI Technology

SLI (Scalable Link Interface) is a proprietary technology developed by NVIDIA, an acknowledged world leader in graphics processing technologies. NVIDIA is responsible for some of the most commonly used programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in PCs all over the world today.

A Graphics Processing Unit or GPU is a dedicated graphics-rendering device. High graphics resolution (visual realism) and fast graphics rendering are the chief advantages a GPU has over integrated graphics.

For increased graphics output, NVIDIA has developed their SLI technology, which facilitates the link-up of two GPUs. The SLI application rests on the premise that a computer’s graphics processing speed and performance can be increased significantly (up to 2X over a single graphics solution) by combining the graphics processing power of two GPUs. In effect, when the computer user is calling up a 3D image, the two GPUs share the graphics-processing load resulting in smoother performance and faster load times.

NVIDIA SLI Technology In Notebook Computers

It has long been a point of frustration for notebook computer users that graphics processing in desktop computers is far more satisfactory than in notebooks. That is why the introduction of NVIDIA SLI technology for notebook computers in 2006 was very exciting news for these hardcore PC enthusiasts.

With NVIDIA SLI for notebook computers, two mobile GPUs (particularly the NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7950 GTX), which have graphics processing capabilities comparable to desktop GPUs, can now be bridged for extremely high-speed, high-quality graphical performance in notebook computers.

Why You Need NVIDIA SLI Inside Your Notebook Computer

If you are a computer games aficionado who just has to play Doom, Half-Life, Chronicles of Riddick, Age of Empires, Tomb Raider, or any other GPU-intensive game wherever you are, than you better look for an NVIDIA SLI-ready notebook computer. Combine the power of two NVIDIA mobile GPUs, the parallel graphics processing rendered by NVIDIA SLI, and a high-resolution LCD and you will have intensely realistic graphics and an immensely satisfactory gaming experience with your notebook computer.

NVIDIA’s New GeForce 9500 GT For Under $100

SteeL — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 06:43:14 +0000

The latest mainstream graphics card to land in our lab comes by way of NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s new GeForce 9500 GT is the company’s latest weapon in its arsenal of sub-$100 graphics cards but don’t let the relatively low price fool you. Of course the card won’t offer the same level of 3D performance as current high-end, more expensive products. However, its feature set is comparable to just about anything else on the market. And its power consumption is nice and low as well. We’ll get into the details in a bit. For now take a look at the specifications and features…

Graphics Accelerators from Gigabyte

SteeL — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:25:48 +0000

Gigabyte has launched its next-generation graphics accelerators, the GV-N28-1GH-B and GV-N26-896H-B, both aimed at providing a sophisticated level of 3D game rendering for enhanced game play.

The GV-N28-1GH-B is equipped with Nvidia’s latest GTX 280 graphics processor, 240 stream processors, and 1GB GDDR3 memory while the GV-N26-896H-B comes with GTX 260 graphics processor, 192 stream processors, and 896MB GDDR3 memory

XFX 9800GX2

SteeL — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 07:03:38 +0000

Performance, Good bundle, Solid build quality.

Heats up quickly, Expensive.

- with with 1GB DDR3…

The Nvidia 9800 GX2 is currently the reigning champ in the graphics card arena and today we have the XFX 9800 GX2 in our labs for testing. The last GX2 was from Asus and quite frankly it did not perform as well as the Zotac 9800 GX2, even though they were clocked at the same speed. The XFX card also runs at the same speed, so I’m really anxious to see what kind of performance it is capable of. There are around 8 different versions of the GX2 on the XFX website, and we’ll be testing the Standard Edition today.
So, without wasting any more time, let’s dive into the good stuff

Asus U6S

SteeL — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:56:44 +0000

Good performance, Sharp 12.1-inch screen, Light weight, Battery.

A bit expensive, Could do with a better GPU (NVIDIA 8400M).

-After seeing the Asus Lamborghini VX3, you must want to know if there is an option with similar performance but without the Lamborghini branding. I’m sure it’s not because you hate Lambo’ but because it’s out-of-reach or because it’s impractical to you to own something that expensive. So Asus has brought out an option, one that strips down all that branding and gives you with the base model from where the Lamborghini VX3 was born – the U6 Series. There are many variants in this series of from Asus, and today we have the Asus U6S for review. Let’s see if this one’s worth its deal.

Drastic drop in performance with AA enabled, No bundled game.

Nvidia have launched the 9600GSO to please gamers on a tight budget.
