I bet physx will stay DX10 card based for quite a while, however I suspect the hit for using fermi + physx on one card will be much lower due to the compute friendly re-design effectively multi-tasking better so you might not need to bother with 2 cards just for the odd physx game.
It is a realistic thread - they have huge debts and keep loosing money (even the last quarter which was very good for them they still lost money). Companies a lot bigger then AMD have gone under in the last year or two.
If they went bankrupt they'd get broken up and sold cheap.
I suspect...
I think it'll be about the same gap for games. Where the GT300 will shine is gpu compute - this thing was designed to counter larrabee. It will fold at > 10 times the speed of a 5870.
Not missing any pixels is flawed as when an object crosses over 2 screens it will seem to distort and stretch - try it dragging a normal window across 2 screens in windows to see what I mean. To work correctly eye infinity needs to insert invisible pixels in between the screens to simulate the...
The fact that it doesn't work on ati hardware is more ati's fault for not having anything like physx and 3d vision, and not trying to get developers to use it.
Fundamentally this is a console game - they produced it to look as good on a console as possible. Nvidia paid and/or helped a lot to...
I'd pay as much attention to the amount of noise it makes as anything (e.g. 4890's with the standard cooler are loud). You don't really need the performance but I bet you would like it to not whine the whole time you use it.
+1 to the buy a decent LCD - 24 inch full HD ones are cheap these days.
It's probably input lag - i.e. your graphics card sends the information for the frame but the LCD spends say 65ms processing it before getting around to displaying it. LCD tv's do this to improve picure quality and it's not a problem for a tv but matters for games. Sometimes you can lower it a...
It has to accept a 120hz signal - not just interpolate a 60hz one to 120hz. Being as an HDMI cable only has enough bandwidth for 60hz at full HD res then it is highly unlikely any TV can do it.
It says it's 3.36W which isn't much - I know my motherboard can take a combined wattage for all fans of 25W so I'd be very suprised if your motherboard can't handle it. Check the spec's if you're not sure.
S-flex F would go closer to silent then high performance then. At min rpm it's as good as silent (unless you are a silence freek), at max rpm it'll still be pretty quiet, but 1600rpm isn't enough for really good cooling.
If you don't really care about it being very quiet a 2000rpm fan might...
It depends what you want the fan for. No point getting a really high speed fan for a case as it just produces noise and turbulance, however for a heatsync, particularly those with dense fins you need more air pressure to push the air through the fins so a faster fan can make a big difference...
You have a tower so the motherboard is mounted vertically, hence the heatsync sticks out from the motherboard horizontally. You want the heatsync to stay flat against the cpu (i.e. perfectly horizontal) but the extreme weight of the heatsync will pull it downwards (so it droops somewhat). That...
