nVidia/ATi News

Saw this over at the register... <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/31694.html" target="_new">http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/31694.html</A>

Synopsis is Q3 ATi is releasing RV350/R360 (Follow ups to 9600 pro and 9800 pro) and they are then releasing the R420 in november to compete with nVidia's NV40. All chips are expected to support next gen pixel and vertex shaders and dx9.1. nVidia has some other NV36X chips scheduled for later this year also.

Also noted there was this article about pci express and nvidia's nv40... <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/31128.html" target="_new">http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/31128.html</A>

Synopsis is nVidia will be moving from AGP8X to PCI express during Q4/Q12004. NV40 Will be the first availble PCI express, but also still available in AGP8X. Then end of 2004 they will be doing NV45 and that will be PCI Express only.

The REGISTER got it WRONG! The original article from <A HREF="http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20030710162332.html" target="_new">Xbit Labs</A> states not that it will be CALLED the RV350 (Hell I HAVE an RV350 in my computer NOW) it will be the SUCCESOR to the 9600 (which is currently CALLED the RV350 [or as they say "AKA the RV350"]), and it doesn't SAY what it will be called (from what I've seen in the past it should be the RV360 everyone talked about).

Seriously POOR Journalism on their part, at least READ the whole article thoroughly before you paraphrase it.

The two sloted replacements that I've heard of are the RV360 and then the RV380 (the one based on the PIC-EX). I'll be waiting for the RV380, Yahooo!

I mean REALLY, you'd think the Register would know there is ALREADY a chip dubbed the RV350!
