Nvidia 480-Core Graphics Card Approaches 2 Teraflops
An anonymous reader writes "At CES, Nvidia has announced a graphics card with 480 cores that can crank up performance to reach close to 2 teraflops. The company's GTX 295 graphics cards has two GPUs with 240 cores each that can execute graphics and other computing tasks like video processing. The card delivers 1.788 teraflops of performance, which Nvidia claims is the fastest single graphics card in the market."

Yet again, Nvidia showed ATI that it, indeed, has the biggest penis.
when can I get a video card that doesn't take up half my case and melts down after 6 months of use? Not to mention, doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
2006?

with CPUs anymore? I'm just going to fill a case with graphics cards and call it a day.
One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
... for Windows 7 (or whatever they call Vista now).
Yeah, but you'll need all that power to run Windows 8
Can someone please post the link to a how-to guide for convincing your wife/girlfriend of the necessity of owning a graphics card with dual 240-core GPUs? Or, if you are a girl who acknowledges said necessity without a fight, please post a link to your Facebook profile. Thank you in advance.
Dead Space.
2008 GotY for me.
Looks awesome, sounds absolutely amazing, loses very little in the console ports, is a great game, runs great on a variety of hardware, is extremely stable, and was published by EA with SecuRom.
Alright:

Bioshock - Very beautiful and creative environments.

A year from now, people won't be talking about Crysis anymore. Bigger and better games will be out. Such is the nature of the gaming industry.
The fact that Crysis has great graphics doesn't mean its a great game. As an avid gamer for over 20 years, I can say without a doubt that on average there is no correlation between good graphics and good games.
In addition to my 20 years of gaming, I've got a 5 digit UID. I am therefore an authoritative source on the subject.
You can't legislate goodness. Let each to his own destiny, by will of his freely made choices.
Where can I get one of these five digit things you speak of? OMG, I am so behind the times!
you sir, have won the game.
