AnandTech has a nice article, explaining what DVI is all about and why it is good. It also shows you a warranty-voiding way of improving image quality on NVIDIA cards by removing the low-pass filters.

If you want to overclock your GeForce 3 card but don't know where to start, there is a GeForce 3 Ti200/500 overclocking article on X-Bit Labs which will show you what to do. Increasing the memory and core speed, even getting pretty technical about the whole thing.

According to this report, the folks at ATI have managed to score 21 different card companies to leave NVidia and come play with them recently. They however dont have any listing of how many companies have left ATI to go play with NVidia such as Apple recently.

NVidia has issued a new press release announcing the nForce 415-D. The 415-D architecture combines the nForce MCP with a new System Platform Processor to deliver "unparalleled memory, networking, audio, and PC performance". Motherboards featuring this new chipset (which lacks the integrated GPU found on current nForce boards) should be out later this month.

I see on Voodoo Extreme that NVidia has released nForce drivers which are provided "as is" with no tech support. There are drivers for Win98, WinME, Win2k and WinXP. The first Unified Driver Package for nForce motherboards adds EAX support, is MS WHQL certified and has international language support.

Nvidia chief scientist David Kirk has been interviewed by Gamespot. He answers questions about what generation of Nvidia chipsets stood out for him, challenges in moving into non-graphics chips territory, what the company is doing to improve memory performance on their cards, new features in Detonator drivers, Nvidia's involvement in creating the OpenGL 2.0 spec, the most important trends in game graphics in the next few years and a couple of other things.

There's some GeForce 4 speculation on X-Bit Labs. GeForce 4 Ti 1000, with 128mb of DDR ram at 700 mhz? $$$. These cards should be announced sometime late January even.

There is an interview with David Kirk of NVidia over at Tech-Report. The Chief Scientist answers questions about unlocking more GeForce 3 features through driver updates, why people need a GeForce 3 when no games are using them, possibilities of overclocking, if 128mb is needed on future cards, performance of DirectX8 and a few other videocard related things.

NVidia has released new Detonator drivers for their GeForce line of cards to play with on Windows98 , Windows2K/XP , and WindowsNT. The drivers include a new OpenGL ICD. Thanks Choolz

The Register is reporting two fairly exciting items for nVidia today. First is that they've added UMC to produce XBox chips. This is a big deal, as TSMC used to be the exclusive chip supplier for nVidia, who is now reportedly unhappy with TSMC's yields.

They're also reporting that nVidia has joined the S&P 500, which had a vacant slot from the departure of Enron. This is huge news for the company and great news for anyone there (especially my former 3dfx co-workers :-) ). nVidia's stock is fairly unique as it has been largely unaffected by the recent downtown in the economy. It's been my opinion that recessions actually help console sales, and their inclusion into the S&P 500 certainly helps to back that theory up.

NVidia's David Kirk has been interviewed over on the Firing Squad. He answers several questions about the GeForce 3 and it's core and external features.

NVidia and some company called PNY Tech have announced a trade-in promotion for those people who still own a 3dfx Voodoo card. Depending on what card you have you can get $10-30 (not exactly gonna make anyone rich) cash back bonus PNY Verto MX 400, GeForce2 Ti or GeForce3 Ti 500 videocard.

Over the holiday weekend some more rumored/alleged specs on the next-gen videocard from NVidia at NVNews, the GeForce4 card slipped out on to the net. Back in July/August we caught some first glimpses at the planned specs, but now in November chances are most of this stuff is in to the implementation stages.

The GPU comes in January/February 2002, while professional boards should be available in the second quarter.
* 6 Pixel pipelines
* Core freq: 300 MHz.
* Memory: 660 MHz. (eff) ~ 10.5 GB/sec BW, assuming they stay with 128-bit data paths.
* Supports TwinView
* Supports (finally) Hardware iDCT
* More powerful T&L unit, to include a second Vertex Shader
* AA Features.
* .13u Manufacturing process

Also, noticed at /. someone linked these articles here and here from July.

The other day a few NVidia employees got in trouble for being naughty and doing the whole insider trading thing. Here's a bit from NVidia on the issue and how they will be trying to prevent it in the future.

FiringSquad has a new nForce article taking a look at the performance of NVidia's new fun loving 3D chipset. The numbers they are getting make it sound like most likely it wont be a turd. That's good. Nobody likes a turd.

NVidia has announced a new GPU for notebooks, currently code-named NV17M. As you would expect, it's faster than the current GeForce2Go, but according to NVidia it also uses less power for extended battery life. NVidia expects the GPU to be in notebooks early next year.

If you are really interested in a technical GeForce3 there is one on the 3D Pulpit. Reverend talks to NVidia Chief Scientist David Kirk.

If you're a crazy NVidia fan, then maybe NVidia's new online store might be something for you. They sell jackets, baseball caps, tshirts, mouse pads, skudas and more. All with NVidia logo of course. Thanks Nick.

NVidia has released some new official Detonator drivers for all the NVidia cards. There are drivers for Win9x/ME, WinXP/2k and WinXP 64-bit.

A little article speculating on NVidia just "repackaging at a higher clock speed" in order to compete with the new ATI card this morning. I'll try and break it to you guys easy... yes. Just like the Ultra cards. Oh no!
