Opinions - A look back at NVIDIA's GTC

[HEXUS]

We take a look at whether or not NVIDIA's GPU Technology conference hit the mark and whether the firm has found its path and rediscovered its identity.

Perhaps Hexus could follow nVidia's lead and present a slightly more grown up overview of the GTC.

[Arthran]

Agreed.

Worst Hexus article i have ever read. Incredibly Nvidia Bias'd with often AMD bashing and just plain quoting Nvidia's marketing BS rather than real journalism.

And using that many game titles in the article? What are we, 12?

Is Hexus going the way of other sites like tomshardware and taking sides? where is the unbias fair reporting we know and love?



Not Happy

[Arthran]

During this Nvidia conference we have had 14 Nvidia Articles, most of them bias'd and most of them showing nothing major that we are interested in (they are mostly less tech, more nvidia showing off things that might be comming, things in the pipeline or things that generally could have been condensed into less articles)

we had an article earlier with Nvidia banging on about how they aren't scared about Intel's new graphics systems and how they are miles ahead, funny they say that when they cant even get a working version of their graphics ready for their conference.

Am i the only one annoyed by this Nvidia love?

Well to be honest, I would be surprised to see AMD articles at an nVidia conference

true, but you know what i mean :-P

more space devoted to Nvidia than was necessary, was surprised we didn't see a story every time their ceo sneezed

[Badbonji]

Seemed a bit biased, I think ATi and Nvidia both have benefits either way, and physx hasn't taken off yet.

[Biscuit]

i love how NVidia go on about ATI's..'please wait for open cl' when Nvidia are doin the exact same thing with thier new architecture. I know its slightly different markets but still.

[shaithis]

Agreed, pretty bad article indeed

[GheeTsar]

Biased reporting very much for the lose (in general), however I have no objection to silly wordplay, especially puns.

[Arthran]

As i said previously, its very easy to see that Hexus recruited a "journalist" rather than another Tech writer

I don't think it's anything that personal - the piece was presented as being written on behalf of Hexus, not an individual viewpoint, ("we take a look") and thus will have been edited for style and content to match Hexus' standards I'm sure. I'm just dissappointed they want to head down this route as it's a step backwards in terms of quality in my opinion.

It does raise some good points among the puns and snipes.

NV is going after scientific communities and the white collar markets. This should be raising flags with the gamers. "Wheres our new tech? When is DX11 coming to NV?"

It looks almost like NV is doing a programmable number cruncher. Great for science. Poor for games.

With the abandonment of its chipset business (No more NV chipsets for new intel boards), the expansion of the mobile sector, and the push to sell hardware to military and science divisions, its a definate course change for NV.

As said in the article... NV has grown up. Games are for boys. We'll see how this plays out.

lets hope that Nvidia don't go after new markets whilst alienating their key main market. Nvidia are one of the top gfx makers, that's where they got their name, if they alienate gamers by going after number crunching they will shoot themselves in the foot totally

Oh spare me from the juvenile jokes and bias - that's a horrid article.

About the only valid point it has is that OpenCL isn't exactly mature. The vast majority of users will care considerably more about how fast they can transcode their Youtube clips than look at proteins for cancer research.

Just looks like AMD has got a clear run for six months. Has there been any news on non workstation DX11 capable chipsets, at all?
