Nvidia in big trouble

yeah and folding@home would go down the loo with amd stuff folding there not even worth the leccy to use

I support nVidia with my GTX480s in SLI. I would hate a GPU world controlled by CPU companies.

Sadly it is the nature of the beast mate. Any company that could, would. What I mean is if you put either in the driving seat (AMD/Nvidia) they would be as controlling as they could get away with. They have both done things that are quite frankly rude and insulting over the years (rebrands ETC) and the early 6 series cards seem to be no exception. Sure, they may be based on a different core but the bottom line is that right now pound to performance or bang for the buck they are no better than the 5 series. Infact, they are actually worse. A basic egg cooled 5830 can be had for a song ATM (£140 or so the last time I looked).

I don't want to see Nvidia go under I just want to see them change their attitude, drop the arrogance and give us good cards with good cooling for good pennies. If they can't manage that and blindly go on turning out tosh and hoping we will buy it (which is what they have been doing for the best part of two years) then, well, they deserve everything they get.

Of course there will be serious repercussions if that happens, AMD will just take the outright p*ss. But all we can do is hope I suppose.

I do feel that the only surviving GPU manus soon will be AMD and Intel though as that's the way things are going and Nvidia are not in that market.

What Nvidia really should have done with their successes was invest into a CPU. The possibilities would have been endless. I mean, think about this...

Nvidia CPU with onboard CUDA, Physx and directcompute (and opencl). That would be far more appealing (meaning you could fold with a CPU and use any old cack GPU) than having to buy an expensive hot card. Yes I know with the 460 you can do all of that but that's one card. No company can survive on one product alone.

Well they certainly seemed to have taken your advice with the release of the 500 series gpus alien

Nvidia are only as bad ati/amd are becoming since amd seems to getting bit more heavy handed also nvidia know how to keep a loyal fan base. And intel gpus there forever investing money than scrapping projects they seem in two minds all they need to do is buy out nvidia.

mm. me to and they stonk the battlefield

Intel and Nvidia. aah, God wants both of them

Respect the inventor.

Nvidia is gifted with the extremes. You liked the wind-up radio.

Nvidia is able to pay their staff.

(Nvidia) These engineers are dedicated.

Fermi isn't a fail and a noob. Intel and Nvidia learn and work with each other. Nvidia isn't all about GeForce. The best Super-computer on this planet uses thousands of Nvidia Fermi chips. mm Nvidia is here forever, in the soul.

IMHO

Nvidia is always needed. Science stuff right, ofc.

If Cheif Director Head Boss Founder/Owner of Nvidia gets addicted to, erm, milkshake and blows all the money at Wimpy, maby it'll be the end.

When you consider how this world is panning out, if Nvidia shines on you you'll squeeeel with joy(probably). That the way the Gods made us.

Conclusion: Don't
