Beyond3D Featured ContentDiving into Anti-Aliasing
All your questions about the great nemesis of graphics, and some of its cures, answered in one fell swoop. Would you kindly jump right in?
Following the success of ShaderX 5, Wolfgang Engel, editor of the ShaderX series of graphics programming tomes, is soliciting help and contributions to the next in the series, ShaderX 6 , to see publishing in early 2008.
Samsung have their brand new SyncMaster XL30 on display here at CeBIT. A 30 inch, 2560x1600 PC display like many others on the market, this one differentiates itself by being the first to have an all LED backlight, rather than the multi-lamp solutions its competitors carry.
Looking for a low-profile performant graphics card that supports HDMI and has the power to game at decent IQ and performance levels, for your media center PC?
Second up in our Galaxy story trio is their GeForce 7900 GS, which they claim is the fastest 7900 GS ever released. Clocked at 600/800, the 256MiB board isn't too far away from a full 7900 GTX in terms of clock rates, and should cost much much less.
Seems that MCP68 has broken cover at CeBIT, via ECS's unveiling of a GeForce 7050SE plus nForce 630a mainboard called MCP68M-M.
One of the biggest things at this year's hilariously quiet CeBIT is the introduction of DDR3-supporting mainboards. Intel are bringing support for the new memory standard this year with their upcoming Bearlake core logic, and a few vendors have boards on display.
ATI RV610 isn't the only new graphics chip from AMD to steal R600's thunder here at CeBIT. We've got snaps of the mid-range RV630 too, set to power products from $149 upwards until R600-based hardware takes over at the upper end of the pricing scale.
GeCube have finally brought their RV560-based Gemini dual-chip single board project to completion, and are now looking forward to doing the same thing with RV630. Running a live four-head demo on their stand at CeBIT, their X1650 XT Gemini pairs two RV560 ASICs and a PCI Express bridge IC on…
AMD held a press conference at the CeBIT Messe today to talk about how their general business is going, with Rick Bergman talking about their next generation of graphics products in the middle of it.
SiS are getting closer to finalising their first D3D10 silicon with news from CeBIT that they're targetting Q3, possibly Q4 for the release of their Mirage 4 IGP, which supports the new D3D revision in hardware.
It wouldn't be an IT tradeshow without the display big guns showing off their biggest wares. Panasonic wield 103 inches of plasma doom, while Sharp laugh massively at their feeble attempt with a 108 inch LCD display.
While Intel 940G is a deeply unsexy IGP, it still has its uses in sexy little devices. Tucked away in Samsung's Q1 Ultra ultra-mobile PC, it pushes the device's 1024x600 pixels and happily runs Vista Aero.
While walking to a meeting with what we thought was the least well known NVIDIA board partner on the planet, we wandered past these guys. Seems we were wrong.
In the first of a triplet of stories about NVIDIA AIB partner Galaxy, we bring you a look at their PCI Express x1 GeForce 7300 GT.
ASUS's external ExpressCard graphics solution is at CeBIT, with ASUS claiming it's now fully production ready and should be available standalone for around $100 USD.
If you're into getting the most out of your graphics card purchase via overclocking, ASUS have a hardware extra for their graphics boards that lets you do it without software.
We mentioned yesterday that we thought there was a sneaky R600 running around CeBIT somewhere and that we might get pics today. And indeed there is a board, which we duly sat down to look at this morning in person. It's big.
This is the last time we'll bring you a supposed 8-series GeForce shot from MSI's stand at CeBIT. Promise.
MSI, in their keenness to hide the fact they have G86 on their stand, may have inadvertently given a big clue as to the GPU's die size. Wandering back past the boards today to get a closer look, we noticed that the stickers they've employed seem to closely match the size of the die they obscure.…
SCEI and Stanford University's effort to bring the Folding@Home distributed computing project to the Playstation 3 - first made public by Stanford last August - will come to fruition by the end of this month. Announced via press release…
