News - Nvidia responds to AMD's criticism of Gameworks

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I just read that SpaceX are using Nvidia SOCs to drive the flight displays of the latest Dragon capsule

Part of me thinks "Hell that's brave". I mean, while I do believe that Nvidia drivers are better than AMD's I really don't think I would put my life in their hands.

Another part of me wonders if the frozen vacuum of space would actually be enough to stop my Tegra 3 based phone from overheating if you try and play a game on it

AMD embedded products are used to run the displays and HUDs of aircraft like the Airbus A380. We are all doomed now!

Well, I hope that if Nivida get anywhere with their car push that their embedded products have better hardware reliability than their solder-flawed graphic cards and chipsets. And more importantly that they do proper validation and age testing. Cars are dangerous enough at the best of times, don't need something critical failing at the wrong time due to bad solder or packaging choices.

Weren't a lot of Vista's initial problems down to BSODs from Nvidia's drivers? They really seemed to have struggled to get them stable for ages. Obviously Microsoft contributed too, and while Vista got a lot more stable after SP1 and that wasn't just the service pack but the fact that Nvidia got their drivers sorted was a major factor too.

It will be interesting to see where that goes - AMD and Apple have had some exchanges of people in the last few years,including Mark Papermaster.
