AMD nForce3 150 memory timings explored

Published by [NT] 1

A while back some people discovered a "glitch" in the memory matrix of the nForce2 chipset; Running at CL2 2-2-11 gave better performance than CL2 2-2-5. When we turn over the page and apply the same rules on the A64 chipset, nForce3 150, does it still hold true? It is rumoured also that Cas Latency 2 vs 2.5 has little or no effect. Everything mentioned is put to test here.

Digital-Life have thrown up a new article called DX.Next:The near and nearest future of hardware graphic acceleration!! It's well worth the Read.

The article deals with new technologies (either developing or developed but not yet announced) and hence, is mostly based on unofficial information. The general picture is compiled from various more or less official sources (such as ATI and NVIDIA published presentations in GDC for developers), as well as from Internet media rumours.

First Look: The N-Gage QD

Published by Newsfactory 0

Game Informer have thrown up their Preview of Nokia's N-Gage 2!

From the moment the N-Gage debuted, there have been an abundance of complaints about how the hardware was designed. From the ?side-talking? taco fest phone capabilities, to the fact that you had to basically dismantle the entire unit to just put a game in it, the public was not thrilled with the N-Gage ? which obviously resulted in less than positive sales. Nokia apparently listened to the complaints, and have created an all new unit, called the N-Gage QD (According to Nokia, the QD means absolutely nothing). Nokia stopped by our offices recently to give us the low-down on their new baby.

ATI Radeon R420 Roadmap

Published by Newsfactory 0

[H]ardOCP have snagged ATI's latest Radeon R420 Roadmap! Here's a snip.

First we have the names that will be attached to the VPUs that will scale across three levels of performance with the same VPU. The "X800XT" and the "X880XT" being the "same" card but with a different interface, with the latter being a PCI-Express X16 card. You will see that the PCI-Express core is labeled "R423" as it is in fact a native PCI-Express part and not the same CPU as the R420 with an adaptive bridge to allow the VPU to work on both interfaces.
