Alliances Forged in Hell’s Frozen Recesses: Nvidia and AMD

If you’ve ever built a computer, this will be jarring: Nvidia’s agreed to license its SLI tech for use on AMD motherboards. (AMD, of course, bought Nvidia arch-rival ATI a while ago and buried the ATI brand in favor of a unified AMD front a few months ago.) https://gizmodo.com/the-ati-brand-is-dead-5625268 The deal makes sense for a…

Acer’s 3D Monitor Uses NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Tech For Some Cheap 3D Thrills

Both Acer’s two 3D monitors are priced fairly well, at $689 for the 27-inch model and $449 for the 23.6-incher, but if you can stretch for the larger size you’ll get NVIDIA’s 3D Vision glasses thrown in for good measure. The smaller-sized monitor will come with Acer’s own 3D glasses, otherwise. Both handle full HD…

Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 Review: The Real Fermi Arrives

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 580 is what the original should have been: quieter, full-featured, faster and more efficient. When Nvidia launched the GTX 480 — code-named the GF100 — early this year, the new GPU proved to be something of a mixed bag. It was undeniably fast, but also crippled – every GTX 480 GPU shipped…

NVIDIA Teases Cooler, Quieter Beast of a GPU

NVIDIA, unsurprisingly, is billing its next big GPU as the fastest, quietest and coolest yet. Shocking, yes, but the “vapor chamber system” at its heart, which they contend will knock off about seven decibels (compared to the GTX 480) does sound slightly cool (obnoxious pun!). Within the sealed cooling chamber, you see, water will be…
