I was over @ Nvnews.net! when I spotted these two news items.......

Here ya go a snap of Nvidia's Quadro FX Pic sent in by Amazon International PNY Quadro FX 1000 £780.00 (Ex Vat & Del)..

Nvidia Quadro FX takes the leading computer-aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. For the first time, styling and production rendering become integral functions of the design workflow, shortening the production process and enabling faster time to market.

Thermaltake Technology, the leading Thermal Solution provider today released their latest Volcano Series: Volcano 11 - Xaser Version. Volcano 11 is said to efficiently cool off AMD AthlonXP processors up to 3400+. Utilizing Copper Soldering technology and whole copper heat sink design, Volcano 11 is able to greatly increase surface area while keeping weight at minimum.

A Big Thanks to GlowWorm.

Per Hansson over @ Techspot.com has posted his interview with Nvidia's Andrew Humber and Adam Foat and not forgetting he snapped some pictures as well!

[TS]: It's been rumoured that only a few companies have been given exclusive licenses to present their own products based on the GeForce FX at launch. How do you confront these rumours?

[Nv]: This is of course only rumours. There are a few companies that we have worked closer with before the launch of the GeForce FX, though that exclusive licenses have been written is only rumours. Regarding the European launch of the card it's mostly the large manufacturers we have worked with; Creative, PNY and Terratec.

Creative is giving you the chance to own one of our many cool gadgets! Just take part in the "Are You a Trendsetter?" contest and stand to win either a Sound Blaster Audigy 2, a NOMAD MuVo or a Creative TravelSound MP3! Contest ends February 10, 2003. Pacific-Asian region applicants only.

Looks like there's are going to be Ultra GeForce FX cards after all...... PEGGY, IN TAIWAN, TELLS ME that Nvidia anticipates it will ship around 100,000 GeForce FX boards worldwide between now and May. That's the period it has arranged for a third party contractor to make the boards to keep the quality high, she said.

And she whispered marchitecture names that Nvidia has hit on ? the Ultra 5400 for the NV31 and the Ultra 5600 for the NV34 are the favorites round about now..... for more info warp2.... The Inquirer.net

Rainer over @ Teschke.de send words that he has finished his review about the RSG power supply, which works without any fans.
Here´s a snip from the review:The RSG powersupply seems to work very well . We didnt notice any instabilities, even under 3D applications which needs the full power of every component working in the system. During working with standard applications the temperature was approximately 38° C . The black heatsink (outside the case) has a very practical value because it transfers part of the heat outside the case. Read the review over here

Watch.Impress.co.jp have posted details of new TFT Screens that will be launched by Samsung for 2003. Here's a quick translation as the sites in Japanese.

The liquid crystal panel is renovated from the 152t, the speed of response 25ms, brightness 250cd/ square meter, as for contrast ratio 350:1, angle of visibility also up and down left and right have reached 170 degrees. As for interface only D-Sub15 pin.

In addition, the 153p we assumed it develops the " button less monitor " in the base, throws to the market during 2003 years. The button less monitor being something which sets parameter such as brightness of display with the software on the PC, does not have the buttons for adjustment for the substance.

Thanks to Alive! for the update as we seem to have missed this one! Better late than never.

At CES, Creative is unveiling the Audigy 2 Platinum eX, geared for musicians and enthusiasts with an external breakout box. They are also previewing the upcoming MegaWorks THX 6.1 650 speakers, as well as the recently launched I-Trigue 2.1 3300 speakers. For more Info click on the Audigy 2 Platinum eX Pic.

Xbitlabs takes a look at a very interesting and unusual product, which stands out among other NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600 based cards. I am talking about eVGA e-GeForce4 Ti4600. This solution boasts excellent quality, TV-input and output, good performance in games, a solid software bundle. But the most exciting thing is certainly the 3rd generation Asymmetric Cooling System (ACS3).

The guy's other @ Nvnews.net have posted PNY 's Verto Geforce FX Specifications, price and a release date of Wednesday, February 05, 2003! Also they have news of Exclusive pictures of the Geforce FX card taken by SweClockers from this year Comdex Nordic 2003 in Guthenburg.

BFG Technologies is the first company to reveal specific details on their GeForce FX offering accompanied by a special preorder rebate. This super-high-end 3D graphics accelerator card takes advantage of the latest and most sophisticated 0.13 micron process technology by packing nearly twice the transistors into the same space as the GeForce4 Ti GPU. Combine this sliver of super-powered silicon with radically redesigned boards, special heatsinks and fans and you?ll understand why the Asylum GeForce FX gives hard-core gamers the bragging rights they deserve!

I was just over @ Overclockers.com and I see they have posted some details of upcoming barton CPU....Here's a snip.

Higher Numbers Doesn't Mean More Speed AMD will tack on a couple hundred points to the old PR to account for the increased cache Barton will have (and its 166MHz FSB). This is perfectly legitimate, but will create the anamoly of the 2500+ Barton actually running at a lower speed than the 2400+ TBred, leading no doubt to shock and denunciations from the conceptually challenged.
