NVIDIA claims no implication in Hydra 200 chip delay

Written by IT News on 7:29 PM

Yesterday we reported on the news in the early previews of what Lucid Hydra is 200 chip could, in this development. Although the product is still some time away from becoming available to consumers, there are reports claim that the technology is available on the market of delayed due to interference from Santa Clara, California-based ATI. This note shows that ATI now come with an official response to these reports and point out that no effort to address the above techniques, for his part.

After the said news item, our colleagues over at Fudzilla graphics chip maker contacted for an official response to the rumors of the reported effects of delay Lucid's multi-GPU technology. This statement came from Igor Stanek, Nvidia's product PR manager for Central Europe, which had this to say: "We (Nvidia) welcome Lucid on the market. We believe it is the best NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU solutions, and we are working hard to expectations of gamers' SLI solutions which give good performance. Despite the rumors are unfounded, we do not have to switch to Lucid technology. "

As in previous articles, the Lucid's Hydra technology is designed to provide consumers with the freedom of graphics performance to enhance its system by mixing two different graphics processors from the same vendor or different vendors. One of the first implementations of this chip will be in an MSI motherboard, called the Big Bang, which was delayed due to some problems as a driver of a chip.

Clearly above the MSI motherboard is quite true and that we need to relate to the market fast enough, given that MSI marketing and R & D have invested in this forum and probably want it to be released.

NVIDIA to unveil the GeForce GT 240 in mid-November

Written by IT News on 8:01 PM

Aside from the much-awaited line of Fermi-based GeForce graphics card is NVIDIA also planned to reveal a different model, namely the GeForce 240 GT, aimed at the mainstream market, constructed using a new generation of 40nm graphics processor company. The latest rumors have surfaced on the Internet, said card in mid-November, so ATI fans with a choice of DirectX 10.1-compliant solution that reportedly ran around the same level as GeForce 9600 GT models.

Based on the GT215 core, the upcoming GeForce GT 240 graphics card will be based on a 40nm GPU, manufactured at TSMC, will boast support for DirectX 10.1 and will be equipped with 96 stream processors. Although information about the clock speeds have not been given, is generally assumed that the GDDR5 version of this card will run at about the same level as a regular producer of chip GeForce 9600 GSO or models.

One of the biggest problems with this card is that the only strong competition from current and future products AMD will face. This is already the case with the GeForce GT 220, which was launched by the Santa Clara, California-based chip maker a while back. This card is facing heavy competition from AMD's 4670, Radeon 4770 or the recently launched Radeon HD 5700-series, which will be fast enough, even though the yield on 40nm TSMC problems.

Although the GT-240 is an interesting choice for the average PC user, player, computer enthusiasts and early adopters probably anxious to wait for the official debut of the new Fermi-based 40nm GeForce cards, which have to start somewhere before the end of this year, according to recent reports. Unfortunately we have no information on the pricing of over 240 GT, but the rumored release date is not far ahead.

After the graphics chip manufacturers, recognition is justified as the University's commitment to teaching GPU computing, and integration of CUDA-capable GPUs for a variety of scientific and technological research projects. Before CUDA Center of Excellence Award, Harvard University a $2M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the development of GPU-based Computational Science.

With the interest in CUDA architecture quickly spread on campus at Harvard and scientific landscape living in Boston, it has never been a better time to announce this cooperation, "said Hans Peter Pfister, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science in practice is Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Head of Visual Computing at the Harvard Initiative in Innovative Computing.”This generous gift from NVIDIA offers excellent learning opportunities for Harvard students, acceleration of our research and expands the use of GPUs for computer science and other demanding applications."

Harvard University already with the Graphics Processing Unit to provide solutions for a range of issues. For example, in a project called Connectome project, GPU is used to decode the complex structure of the human brain, a search that is a priority for the scientific community for a long time. While another project using the computing power of GPU is MWA telescope project, which is to discover the origins of the universe. Besides the above, the GPU is used for other power projects, as well as at Harvard University.

Back in mid 2008, the first NVIDIA CUDA Center of Excellence, an honor awarded at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which includes a donation of $500,000 for the development of parallel computing and the continuation of research programs.

EVGA GeForce GTX 275 with 1792MB GDDR3 memory

Written by IT News on 1:19 AM

EVGA, and most of the other NVIDIA board partners, has recently updated its GeForce graphics cards with the introduction of the new GeForce GTX 275-based graphics accelerators based on the latest NVIDIA GT200 series GPU. With the launch, EVGA has implemented two versions of the tab as it does with all cards based on NVIDIA. "As part of its renewed range GeForce, EVGA has rolled a reference design card, but also a version that was equipped with 1792MB of 448-bit DDR3 memory. In addition, according to the information that has come recently in the Internet, EVGA will also provide their fans with at least a factory overclocked GTX 275.

The new EVGA cards were designed to provide computer game enthusiasts and higher performance alternative to the latest 55nm NVIDIA GT200 series GPU. Both cards, which currently exist on the website of the company were put to work as a clock speed reference 633, 1404 and 2268MHz for the GPU, Shader and memory respectively. Both cards use dual slot cooling solution which appears on the NVIDIA reference design and is equipped with support for NVIDIA cuda, PhysX, and 3-way SLI technology.

But the two, that the version which is equipped with 1792MB of DDR3 memory is likely that in the end, the choice of all those who love the game, because it can give a performance boost that cannot be achieved by Overclocked card.

In addition to these two cards, EVGA is expected to announce their factory-overclocked GTX 275 models, at least one of which has already been introduced for pre-order on the site of a retailer based in the UK. The EVGA GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked comes with 896MB memory, and seems to have adopted the same design as the traditional version. But we are sure that the specifications listed are not real, especially since we are dealing with an Overclocked card.

Price wise, the EVGA GeForce GTX 275 is available for $ 249.99, while the version equipped 1792MB recommended for U.S. $299.99. The Superclocked version is listed at £ 275.99, equivalent to approximately USD408.
