World To Change Soon
by Steve Gibson, Aug 31, 1999 1:22am PDTAn interesting update to this story. It looks like the NVidia guys have registered nvidiasuck.com as well as geforcesucks.com. Guess we can count on that GeForce name being it eh? A friend of mine dug up this press release from NVidia that went out early this morning announcing that they will be unveiling a new graphics processor unit tomorrow. Well, as I mentioned earlier this morning it looks like NVidia is making a pretty big announcement soon. The nvidia.com website has a big old banner saying "In 18 hours, the world will change..." which I can pretty much agree with. update: OH MY GOODNESS, IT SAYS 15 HOURS NOW. I'M POOPING MY PANTS. update2: OH HECK, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO IT IS LIKE ALMOST 6 HOURS NOW.

\"Swedes are all sonderlinge (queers?) with the weak wrists\"
It really should read \"Top 50 For 3rd Quarter \'99\"

But I\'m last.

Oh and dont forget this , LOL
Made me chuckle.
(From the NV10/GeForce256 press release)
Certain statements in this press release, including the statements relating
to the Company\'s performance expectations for NVIDIA\'s family of products
andexpectations of continued revenue growth, are forward-looking statements
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be
materially different than expectations.
We already knew that - didn\'t we ? :P
All in all - just another hype from nVidia. Much screaming, less hardware.
Combined, transform and lighting radically enhance photorealism -- quite simply, things \"come alive\" on your screen. Transformation makes things move more naturally, and lighting helps objects and scenes look more realistic.

At last, humans and other \"beings\" will look and move like we do. When this character is animated, her hair swings just like real hair, her clothes crease and fold as she shifts on her stool, the light reflects off her glasses and even individual strands of hair.
Trees and other environmental elements improve as well. No more \"painted backgrounds\" -- with integrated transfrom and lighting on the GeForce 256 GPU, developers can let their imaginations -- and their images -- go wild.

\"Intel has been working with NVIDIA to shape the future of PC platforms and provide new levels of intelligence and realism in simulations, entertainment and enhance Internet experiences. The Pentium III processor, when balanced with the next generation GPU architectures like NVIDIA\'s enables dramatically increased levels of life-like 3D graphics on Intel desktop platforms.\"
\"NVIDIA\'s GeForce 256 heralds a new era of ultra-realistic real-time graphics on standard personal computers. The combination of broad support for the features exposed by the Direct3D 7.0 API, blazingly fast performance, and consumer - friendly prices will enable software developers to realize their creative visions, and deliver exciting new entertainment experiences to Windows users everywhere.\"
\"With NVIDIA\'s new GeForce 256 GPU, a rebalancing of system resources occurs that radically changes the capabilities of the PC architecture. By enabling new levels of functionality to be off-loaded from the processor, software designers can now re-focus the power of the AMD Athlon processor on other areas such as artificial intelligence or the application of real-world physics.\"
