After losing their own Battle Of The Midway Islands against the ATI Radeon HD 4870 and Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards and suffering reliability issues with their GPUs, NVIDIA went from being seemingly invincible to virtually fighting for their lives. With the performance crown and popularity radically shifting to ATI, NVIDIA needs a new gimmick to regain their fortunes, and they think they have it in what they call their Big Bang 2 - the forthcoming Release 180 NVIDIA ForceWare drivers. Link : NVIDIA's Big Bang 2!
Yeah, just to sway some potential buyers over. ATI already had this feature implemented for a long time, if they don't do this dual monitor users will most definitely get 4870.
LMAO! I couldn't resist. NVIDIA and optimizations. It has been a few years but I still think its hilarious as hell...
Well i guess they have to do something if they cannot bring a new card to the table, a new driver may be the next best thing...Only problem if you have sold your nvidia card and bought an ati, you are not going to buy your old tech back again hmmmm....
Apart from this, their 9400 board sounds promising, potentially able to grab some of the HTPC/SFF user market from AMD (790GX)
hmm,nice..hope to see them challenge back ATI (but then they are just gonna semi-fight back by using drivers?)
True that... I wouldn't mind having an Intel system with a good IGP instead a stinky Intel IGP or an old Nvidia IGP.
