Because that's not how drivers work. The 5000 series is basically the same architecture as the 4000 series. Just increased components. It can run off the old drivers. Sure drivers meant for the 5000 series will be optimized a bit for it and thus would give it a bit more performance, but not a major amount.
Well Battleforge patched in DX11, and STALKER: Call of Pripyat is out in Russia.
But yeah there's only 1 other DX11 game coming out this year, Dirt 2 near the end. The rest are in 2010 and later. So it doesn't really matter yet. But it has given ATI quite the media boost and increased sales to those ill informed or blinded by the word DirectX 11! lol.
@superaktieboy:
Uhh, everything working out of the box? That makes no sense lol. Maybe your talking about buying a computer that's preloaded with Linux, and is thus made sure before hand to have the correct linux drivers installed. I'm talking about installing linux on a random machine, or adding new hardware. You'll have to hope there's linux drivers. And even if there are, depending on the Linux/Unix distro your using, it might need to be recompiled for yours.
And ...
Oh yeah.. Ya know cause no hackers use Windows right... lol. I know a few hackers, one really awesome one and they all use Windows XP. One of them developed a very awesome technique for tunneling into web servers. It was hilarious to watch over remote desktop video.
@Viper7:
"- A lot lighter and more stable to use than windows?"
Because Linux has a lot less operating system features. It also doesn't contain a huge library of drivers to aid in instant use of new hardware. Windows has accumulated a lot of features into it's frameworks and system over the ages that programmers use to make more efficient and complex programs. If you want an accurate comparison, take one of the really old versions of Windows and compare it ...
@Major_Tom: Depends at what you define as worse.
Barren non virus targeted OS? Sure, Linux is better.
Ease of use? Windows is better.
Compatibility with a wide range of applications and games? Windows..
Ages of experience dealing with computer security? Windows..
Easily attach a new piece of hardware? Windows...
It depends on what you need in an OS. For the average consumer, Windows is the best choice. For a hacker or someone who doesn't game ...
Well mostly right. Tegra is pretty much a complete system on a chip, not just a GPU+CPU. It's integrated most of the motherboards controllers and introduced some single purpose cores also. It's targeted at things from phones to laptops.
Yeah, the enthusiast cards should be here before the years end. They are always the first ones out the door. Since production is just about started now, we will see some bench's or at least leaks near the end of November.
Now I don't own a PS3 or a 360, but I do know how optical drives work. To achieve these higher capacities, you can't simply do a firmware update. You need to physically adjust the POT near the laser diode to achieve a more detailed read.
Rofl, robotic arm tape drives. How about just using hard drives if you run a business.
All I was saying is that were really pushing the limit of disc's. Well have to move to solid state storage once fabrication process's are small enough to make it economically viable. Probably around the time we reach 16nm or 11nm fab.
And the disc's are actually very easy to scratch. Not huge scratch's of course, but thin scratches are very easy to make. And they start to build up ...
Sigh.. I think were really pushing the limit too far with disc's. At such a capacity, scratch's, dust, grime is going to have a major impact on the data of the disc. There's a reason hard drives are in a vacuum sealed chamber.
They have poked fun of those things, just not in a way that coincides with your own views.
Family Guy tries to get messages across in many of their jokes and short story lines. Such as being Gay is fine, that Religion is stupid, that Cannabis should be legal and other issues in society.
Why would they make fun of the global warming movement? It's a positive and good thing.
And no he's not a Satanist haha. What, you think people who don't believe in fairy...
@TheIneffableBob:
Tegra isn't a GPU. It's a complete "System on a Chip". It is a GPU+CPU combined with all the other controller chips you find on a motherboard, into a single small chip. Including a bunch of smaller single purpose processors to aid in power efficiency by only using the cores needed for a certain task.
And I bet even Einstein laughed at a fart at least once in his adult life.
Plugin's hog more resources. It's better to just have it integrated, can be turned on or off. Off by default.
Well it's main use is that it will tilt the image opposite of the laptop's tilt. So whatever is on the screen doesn't actually tilt. But yeah, I can't see this getting a whole lot of use, or a whole lot of people wanting to enable it.
1.) Because most computers don't have accelerometers.
2.) It could probably cause a good amount of annoyances.
Preferences man. Perhaps you have such love for Family Guy you disliked the idea of Cleveland leaving the show to have his own, and thus have an immediate bias against it when watching. But that's just a guess..
I love Family Guy too, but the Cleveland show has turned out pretty good also. Give it some time to create a good formula for the show.
Clock speed is only a good comparison of performance between 2 of the same processors. It has a lot less impact when your comparing 2 completely different processors.
Oh, it will be able to do much better than that :P
Here's the first public version of Tegra that's about 2 years old running Quake III at 800x480 with an unspecified amount of AA/AF @35FPS:

The Tegra has already had a new version with increased power since then, and another new one coming in 2010 that will be a ton faster.
Lol yes I have taken a look, quite thoroughly. Things like HD Audio and Eyefinity are irrelevant when were talking about the architecture and gaming performance. The base architecture is still the same, there's just been some added NON GAMING features that have no effect on performance. The cores and other processing components are the same and have merely been increased in number.
