If you could ask the CEO of NVIDIA anything what would you ask him?

[DR]

Post your questions here, Technical and sensible ones only please.

'Is the recent poor performance in PS2.0 applications something which can be rectified in a future driver release?'

[acidrainy]

How do you feel the Nvidia cards will match up to the ATi Radeons in HL2. After hearing about the large amount of optimisations they will be getting?

[directhex]

What are nVidia's attitudes towards supporting marginal operating systems such as Zeta or SkyOS, specifically for getting nVidia hardware to work at full capacity under these platforms?

"Its taken quite a while for the jump from 128mb to 256mb memory on gfx cards, can we expect the same kind of wait for 512mb and 1gb etc"

Any chance that before hell freezes over you could produce a high powered card that isn't superceded in 3 months time, and all the features you put on it are supported and utilised by programmers, comes with a driver set that doesn't demand something short of a full re-install to get working and costs less than £200???

[drunkenmaster]

hmmm, difficult one.

assuming most of the web news is correct, nvidia seem to have already fessed up to the mistake of the 5800 ultra cooling system, so thats done, and will more than likely irritate him

I guess the next big thing is, what they have for the future. NDA's mean he won't tell us what they have in teh making, so that leaves what he thinks will happen in teh future. WHere he see's gaming going.

I'd probably ask what he see's coming from 64bit computing/gaming. AS software will take a while to get to 64bit and take use of it, i'd ask what he see's happening in 12-24months from now. A huge increase in the visual quality of gaming. Increase's in resolution, either from much larger TFT's available by then or more support for true dual res and cards that can power a far larger resolution? WIll PCI X, or is it E, next year give them a way to provide future solutions that are much more powerful, 64bit based cards running with 16gb/s bandwidth, and what kind of thing they have planned for all this power. THere is only so much AA/AF we can use, whats the next thing he see's for gaming.

Also i'd like to ask what they see coming for the possible Intel chipsets, any news, what they plan to do. At the moment, single channel controller can almost max out a athlon XP, and while dual chanel has done wonders for bandwidth in the P4, the bandwidths we are seeing are quite a large way behind what the P4 can use. Will they be the first to bring together a quad channel chipset? At the moment 4 sticks of matched ram is the way to get fastest performance out of a canterwood setup, most people are now looking towards 1GB of ram in there main computers and that leaves the market for a quad channel chipset just waiting to be filled. IMHO.

from my overclocking of my 9700np, seems mem b/w is much more important for speed than core clock. any chance of making a card/letting manufacturers make a card with a normal core, and say... 1ns ram chips (1200mhz/2400mhz ddr!)

what graphical improvements will there be after the current dx9 stuff?

[skirkham]

how much money did you have to pay to make sure that doom 3 would run better on your card than on ATI's ?

do you now think it was a mistake to design your most recent cards to run just one Next gen game engine instead of directx 9 games in general

[HEADRAT]

Why his flagship card sucks so much in HL2, please see :-

theres a simple arnswer to that it a rubbish direct x 9 card

[Stringent]

Why should people choose your cards over ATI, when ATI cards are cheaper and perform generally better than your own?

[TiG]

HMMM maybe you should ask him, what the plans are for future chipsets are?,

I think this is now an extremely important part of the NVIDIA business model now, can we expect some decent amd64 chipsets from NVIDIA?

When will you learn from your numerous and continuous mistakes?
