Nvidia Geforce 4 (NV25) Information

Posted by timothy on from the driving-miss-pixels dept.

msolnik writes: "nV News has a brief article about the long-awaited NV25-based video adapters. These graphics processors have similar capabilities compared to the XGPU, and are a lot more powerful than GeForce3 Ti500. Since they are manufactured using .13 micron technology, they will probably be clocked at very high levels."

    nVidia became so sucessful because of it's short release schedule. They release new products two times a year, every 6 months.

    This 6 months, the GeForce 3 Ti200/500 came out. Last 6 months ago, the GeForce 3 came out, etc...

    This kind of release schedule is what made 3dfx, an once undisputed leader in 3d technology, lag so far behind. Consequently, it's also what has made Matrox not even really care about the 3d market.

  2. Video capture by z4ce · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was wondering -- does anyone know what vendors sell Nvidia cards with TV/Video capture built-in that supports Linux?

    I have an old Asus TNT3400/TV, and I never get to use the /TV functions because I don't ever use windows (except for Minitab and Xilinx. gah.) Now that I'm looking at upgrading my computer again, I want to make sure I get maximum linux compatiblity.

    Anyone have any recommendations?

    Thanks,
