3DLabs Launching New GPU

h0tblack writes "...or VPU as they've seen fit to call it. The Register is reporting that 3DLabs will be releasing the P10 later this year. It's targeted at workstation and gaming markets with OpenGl2.0 and DX9 drivers having been seeded to developers already. Could be interesting as 3DLabs have been one of the key players in the development of OpenGL2.0. The P10 has over 200 SIMD processors throughout its geometry, texture and pixel processing pipeline stages to deliver over 170Gflops and one TeraOp of programmable graphics performance together with a full 256-bit DDR memory interface for up to 20GBytes/sec of memory bandwidth. More info can be found in the press release." There are also examinations of the new chip on Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, and no doubt many other hardware sites too.

High-End Video Cards

[mosch]

This is an article about two unreleased graphics cards, one $600, one $900. No, that's not a typo, these graphics cards cost as much as a nice Athlon system. These aren't targetted at gamers, they're targeted at workstation users, and fuckwits.

The first and the last categories are one and the same for these purposes.

Sure, buddy, when you make any money as a Professional Gamer, give me a call so you can laugh at me for ever having doubted you.

Anyone Remember the Permedia?

Hopefully, this will not turn out to be a flop like the Permedia. I remember waiting for that and proclaiming that it would be faster than anything else when it came out. *cough* NOT *cough*

The specs were great, but the actual implementation and drivers, well, sucked hard.
