NVIDIA Launches Five New Mobile GPUs
Engadget is reporting that NVIDIA has released five new mobile GPUs to fill some imagined gap in the 200M series lineup. These new chips supposedly double the performance and halve the power consumption of the older chips, but still no word on why they think we need eight different GPU options. "The cards are SLI, HybridPower, CUDA, Windows 7 and DirectX 10.1 compatible, and all support PhysX other than the low-end G210M. Of course, with integrated graphics like the 9400M starting to obviate discrete graphics in the mid range -- even including Apple's latest low-end 15-inch MacBook Pro -- we're not sure what we'll do with eight different GPU options, but we suppose NVIDIA's yet-to-be-announced price sheet for these cards will make it all clear in time."
I realize I'm just posting in a troll thread, which is exactly what the troll wants, but I just couldn't resist ... it's like nerd honey ...
There aren't any racial levels in "Dwarf." You could have a level 5 fighter who happens to be a dwarf. There are racial levels for other races though, usually monstrous ones. You could have, for example, a level 5 doppelganger.
Although personally I would rather make my doppelganger a 10th level assassin, 10th level rogue. Oh yeah ... *drools*
P.S. I don't use Linux. I play Crysis on my 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate (TM) machine. I need it to run my dual-core GPU (the Radeon HD3870 X2) and to access my 8gb of system RAM. Oh and my quad-core CPU doesn't really require 64-bit operating, but it's still pretty nifty. Anyway, I can't really bite on the Linux stuff because I just don't care. Maybe a Linux fanboy could help feed the troll?
I never played Basic. I realize that "elf" was a class in Basic but I didn't realize that "dwarf" was as well. Man, that version was screwy. I once heard that the game listed a common domesticated cat as having better statistics than a peasant.
