Crash Your PC Using HTML Code

Published by Newsfactory 0

At first I thought someone was joking when they told me this web link can crash your PC using simple HTML code and Internet Explorer. I suspected it might crash just the browser at worst and was simply a joke related site at best. However, after trying it I can confirm it can crash your PC. But it does so through an apparent bug in some video card drivers.

nForce 4 SLI X16: Full Speed PCI Express

Published by Newsfactory 0

Ever since its launch in the fall of last year, nForce 4 has brought us SLI capability. Configurations for PCI Express slots in nForce 4 SLI motherboards must be selected by using a paddle that can be flipped to allow for either 2 x8 connections or full bandwidth for one with the other disabled. There is added flexibility on an nForce 4 SLI motherboard, but this flexibility comes with some limitations. Today, NVIDIA sheds the shackles of the paddle selector and limited bandwidth with the new nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset.

NVIDIA The Power of 3

Published by Newsfactory 0

NVIDIA is teasing people with a new flash ad on their home page called, "The Power of 3". Now I have no idea what this could be, but I have a feeling that the leaked 80.40 drivers spilled out something of this nature. The Power of 3 could mean GTX / 2 CPU Cores - (Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2). That's the only logical solution I can come up with. I can't see the 7800 GT and possibly a 7600 as the "The Power of 3". Do you know what it is? Drop some word in the comments section and make a guess!

GeForce 7800 GTX GPU 470/1300 MHz Clock Rates

Published by Newsfactory 0

As you can see, it´s all correct and the clock rates are 470/1300 MHz, as promised. However when we tested the reference card we noticed that RivaTuner tool (by A. Nikolaychuk aka Unwinder) indicated some other clock rate that was about 40MHz higher than nominal (430MHz reference + 40MHz = 470MHz). The matter is that at that time Rivatuner determined the maximal clocking value.

The last few month shave seen a flurry of drivers sneaking both up online and appearing on NVIDIA?s website. However the 61.82 drivers brought a huge leap forward in performance with applications and many were extremely pleased on just how systems improved. Just when we thought that all was quiet for a while from nowhere out came the 70.** series of drivers catching everyone completely on the hop. Perhaps due to the timings and deadlines for publication some high profile magazines pressed forward with their current issues which meant that they were unable to harness the full range currently available.

No HDTV in Geforce 6800

Quote:
"If you’re counting on HDTV working on your spanky new 6800, you’re out of luck: it has been confirmed this morning by Derek Perez of NVIDIA that the both the core and the existing reference board have no capacity to support an HDTV signal – though it is planned for the future NV43 & NV41 cores. If you are hoping a third party vendor is going to slap a discrete chip on there, you are likely to be disappointed because as far as we know no vendors are straying from the reference design."
