AMD thinks Nvidia is done with gaming

I can't remember the last time it's been this quiet in the GPU wars. I don't think it's a case of PC gaming dying, more a case of NVidia being so caught up in legal battles lately that they haven't had time to focus on what's really important.

Sigh. Sometimes I wish a company such as Voodoo was still around. They revolved around gamers and always pushed for the latest technology in gaming. Maybe it's a good thing that nVidia gets out of the way, it will give smaller companies room to grow and more than likely produce BETTER hardware for us gamers :)

Except for when it come to not supporting 32 bit colour because of the performance hit involved. ;)

I think they were taken by surprise by nVidia's trnasform and lighting hardware
too.

Whose driver quality? 3dfx Interactive? nVidia?
If I recall correctly, some of the Riva 128's performance optimisations
resulted in less than stellar [for that time] image quality.

I only know of the x series cards that had really a problem with drivers, but improving is never a bad thing.


This might be bad for us or maybe nvidia is looking for a different way of entering the market again.
If AMD is the only gpu manufacture, it might not give smaller players a change. Because nvdia will still be there looking for those smaller companies to break its patents and what not.

Well ATI raising the prices on the 5850s lets you know what we're in for if there is no competition from Nvidia:(
