ATI to Nvidia switch.. Hi, I'm switching from ATI Radeon X1600 Pro to Nvidia GeForce 9500GT. I checkout the manual for nvidia. The instruction is not clear as whether I should uninstall the old video card's driver before I install the new card. Should...

that power out of nVidia cards due to the differences (I think they use the shaders for calculation of which the 19xx series has much more of than the 79xx, I may be worng on the exact specifics). This may mean that it would make sense for nVidia to ally with...

will suffer on the GPU side but Intel's mobo and cpu will see the full force of this loss. Nvidia may switch to only making AMD based mobo's for their GPU's. For Nvidia to compete against ATI they must have the option of using the same number of graphics...

mention heat dissipation and power consumption. So how far down the road until nvidia switch to 65nm??? Hard to say. Nvidia may develop and release it with their next crop of DX10 cards (8900 series?). ATI will release R600 early next year on an 80nm process....

come? It's not supposed to come out late this year if not next year. Because at this rate the R600 wont come out till next year either.... ;) Well AMD better release it soon, because I want Nvidia to release the 8900 so I can use my Step-Up to get one....

but a castrated 8800 GT, and the 9800 GX2 is just 2 8800 GTS's. If you can't see how ATI's dual GPU solution was more "innovative" than slapping 2 PCBs together, I can't help you. It's weird to see ATI and nVidia switch places. ATI did fall behind with the...

the game looked stunning. That was when I made the switch to nVidia and never looked back. While I love ATI's specs and potential performance, nVidia has the Developers in its pocket which can mean the difference between a wonderfully smooth and vibrant...

on process. A far bigger increase is due with HKMG for ATI and Nvidia - assuming TSMC get their act together at 28nm also that is. Overall it strongly favours ATI, who have two processes to fall back on next year. Nvidia might do also but it is unlikely...

Article Mistake. Taken from . 8800 GTX's use a 900 MHz (1800 MHz effective) memory clock. I think when NVidia switches to GDDR4, the cards will see a substantial performance increase because the G80s really rely on the high memory speeds for performance...

6pin PCIe connectors provide 75watts each but I'm not sure how many watts a molex provides (which is what AGP cards use) but I'm fairly certain nvidia would not switch connectors just for the hell of it and that the 6pins provide more power than the 4 pin molexes....
