Nvnews has an interview with Steve Mosher of Creative Labs, discussing personal things, Glide, T&L and the Annihilator Pro.

Creative Labs has released a new MiniGL for their Voodoo2 cards which is highly recommended, they have some crazy techniques which allow you to view higher resolutions textures like the TNT2 does.

Creative Labs has released new drivers for their Sounblaster Live! cards. A few people have claimed increased game performance so they are certainly worth a download.

Some interesting news from Creative Labs, it looks like once while the initial run of  DDR version GeForce cards are in production they are just gonna quit making the SDR cards all together.

Creative Labs has new GeForce 256 drivers based on Nvidia's latest reference drivers.

Creative Labs has some new Windows drivers for those of you who already picked up a GeForce 256 card.

Ever since that statement from Glaze3D about the GeForce benchmarks sucking, Creative Labs has been in quite a huff. Have a look at their latest response in an attempt to make the card look better. I love that "I can't tell you why because of NDA" stuff. It's my favorite.

... do you always have to read a Z [buffer]? Nope, in some systems you can skirt this issue as well. Because of NDA's I can't tell you how Nvidia or 3Dfx or S3 or anybody actually gets more bandwidth out of a system, all I can say is that the simplistic calculations are utterly beside the point.

Creative Labs has released new beta drivers for their TNT/TNT2/TNT2U cards. You can get the Windows 95/98 version here, and the Windows NT version here. These drivers are based of NVidia's 2.08 reference drivers.

VE noticed Hardware-One has already managed to grab a boxed version (in Singapore) of the Creative Lab Annihilator GeForce card, and put up a comprehensive review. Guess what? It ain't that fast.

Oh btw Hardware-One is being humped like crazy, so it may be slow in loading.

3DGPU has the press releases on the two upcoming Creative Labs GeForce 256 powered videocards, the Annihilator and Annihilator Pro. Thanks Blues. The Pro doesn't have 64mb memory as some may have thought, but it has 32mb Double Data Rate memory which should provide an increase over the normal Annihilator. $249.99 will get you the Annihilator, $349.99 the Pro version (that's a hundred bucks more for special ram).

DDR memory is the very latest in graphics subsystem memory and offers power users increased performance at higher resolutions and deeper color depths. By utilizing both the front and back edges of the memory clock DDR memory achieves approximately double the bandwidth of conventional technologies such as SDRAM and SGRAM. This dramatic increase in memory bandwidth eliminates one of the major bottlenecks for high performance graphics.
