ROFL That made me laugh. hahaha Title: Re: Something is wrong with my Nvidia Post by: cmg5461 on April 13, 2012, 12:43:29 PM thread is stupid as fuck. post something useful Lighten up a little bit. Have a laugh! Title: Re: Something is wrong with my Nvidia Post by: Gomeler on April 13, 2012, 02:33:25 PM So what is a 5970 then? An airplane made out of turbines? ;D
thread is stupid as fuck. post something useful We can't be serious business everyday. I'm sure we all fret about our farms enough, a laugh is nice every once in a while. Title: Re: Something is wrong with my Nvidia Post by: ataranlen on April 16, 2012, 05:05:16 PM The same cannot be said of the new 680's. Quiet, ~30c idle, ~50c load. ;D

Quiet, ~30c idle, ~50c load. ;D And entirely useless for mining. Temps don't matter if you're paying more per MH than the highest-priced FPGAs... Title: Re: Something is wrong with my Nvidia Post by: Raoul Duke on April 20, 2012, 04:51:07 AM Ofcourse there's something wrong with it, and I can tell you what: It's a freakin' Nvidia, that's what's wrong!

Too bad 3DFX went defunct. Think of where we would be if they were still here.

Crap CPUs and shitty VGAs ( gaming wise ). We need someone better than the idiots at AMD to prevent a Intel / Nvidia monopoly in the future :-\ Title: Re: Something is wrong with my Nvidia Post by: BinaryMage on April 20, 2012, 11:29:52 PM Ofcourse there's something wrong with it, and I can tell you what: It's a freakin' Nvidia, that's what's wrong!

Crap CPUs and shitty VGAs ( gaming wise ). We need someone better than the idiots at AMD to prevent a Intel / Nvidia monopoly in the future :-\ Really, ever since the good days of the Athlon 64, Intel's been competing with itself. AMD competes in the low-budget market, and does a decent job there, but when it comes to serious computing they can't hold a candle to Intel. But this is irrelevant - AMD's never really threatened Intel's market share. What Intel really has to worry about is ARM, which it has not yet come up with anything equivalent to in terms of performance per watt. Graphics-wise, they're doing better. I think Nvidia's decision to ignore GPGPU with the 6xx series is shortsighted. While it may give them more profits now, GPUs are becoming less and less necessary for gaming, with integrated graphics continuing to improve. Nvidia can't come close to AMD in GPU compute performance, and I suspect that will begin to matter more in the coming years. That was convoluted, but my point is that a monopoly is unlikely. Desktops are losing popularity in all but serious computing environments, and in those AMD has an advantage GPU-wise. That financial report isn't positive by any means, but it also includes a good amount of one-time costs and such. It's not yet time to doomsay. |
