Legat de chestia cu "nVIDIA recomanda reviewerilor sa foloseasca winXP pentru teste"; de ce ati sarit toti asa?
Uita-te pe orice cutie de G80 - scrie mare/mic dar stralucitor sau frumos aranjat in chenar:
Vista Ready - as in G80+Vista kick XP's ass.
In primul rand ca e posibil sa nu fie adevarat, si chiar daca ar fi, este oarecum de inteles, va explic si de ce: cu totii stim ca pe Vista jocurile nu merg la fel de bine ca pe XP, si asta nu numai la G80, dar la toate placile video de pe piata.
It's true, got it from an interview lighted by the inq. - uiti un mic amanunt, placa asta a fost facuta pentru Vista cu suportul ei de DX10 cu tot,
daca s-au grabit sa scoata cascavalul gros acum suporta consecintele: clienti nemultumiti, procese juridice,etc.
Motivul? driveri video imaturi, jocuri neoptimizate pentru Vi(s)ta, negandite pentru vi(s)ta... toate astea duc la rezultate mai slabe;
A dat-o in bara.(punct) - de ce trebuie sa gasiti scuze mereu, drivere imaturi zici (era o vreme cand si eu ma lasam prostit de teoria asta), nu sti povestea din spatele acestor drivere - tin minte ca ati amintit in ceva topic cum ca ATi si Nvidia lucreaza in paralel cu M$ doar toti au de castigat, deci in concluzie se "lucreaza de ceva vreme buna la driverele astea" - practic ar fi printre cele mai batrane drivere, legat de poveste: Nvidia a prins morcov, care initial a ajuns in gat (nu cred ca trebuie sa-ti amintesc pe unde a intrat), desi anul trecut (cand nu era Vista) sectiunea care se ocupa de Drivere avansa pe loc repaus, nu aveau ei grijile astea atunci - acum cand Vista e pe piata si placile lor nu au "sucul" necesar (driverele), au capatat toata atentia, in timp ce
Nvidia doar se scuza si asigura....
Apropo, nu doar jocurile sunt probleme ci performantele generale, driverele de la ATi cu placile din generatia anterioara ruleaza mai decent (au versiune WHQL), dupa cum am zis si inainte, toti eram nervosi pe ATi, ii faceam prosti pentru ca nu lanseaza odata placile, acum... unii incep sa inteleaga ce inseamna sa ai un cap pe umeri, desi nu-s convins ca asta e motivul principal pentru intarziera placilor grafice.
...asa ca, E LOGIC ca nVIDIA nu vrea sa apara pe site-uri rezultate dubioase, DOAR pentru faptul ca testele au fost efectuate pe Vista; normal ca recomanda XP, pentru ca in jocurile DX9 (deci toate de pe piata la momentul actual) acest OS se descurca mai bine.
Nu e nici logic nici normal, adica sa dau 600$ pe o placa, plus alte 400$ pe un SO pentru care a fost optimizata placa, si sa ma lovesc de tot felu de probleme, doar nu crezi ca au fost dati in judecata pentru ca scot placile cateva cadre pe secunda in minus pe Vista?[smilie=maniac.gif] - am mai zis doar in celalat post ca au probleme cu performantele generale, nu tine neaparat de jocuri, in timp ce placile de la ATi (ex generation) se descurca admirabil, repet nu tine de jocuri.
Culver City (CA) - A group of Nvidia customers are upset over the company's lack of final Vista drivers and are now threatening a class action lawsuit against the graphics card giant. The customers claim that the cards don't adequately work with Microsoft's newest operating system and feel that the company isn't being truthful about being "Vista Ready". One customer, who we can only name as 'Nathan', has even created a website nvidiaclassaction.org and is seeking legal help for a possible lawsuit.
Nathan gave TG Daily this statement,
"People are tired of getting banned left and right from NVidia's forums simply because they express that they feel that some action should be taken other than waiting around for the next beta driver (which they've done ad nauseum at the behest of the moderators) that may or may not work - they feel that they were promised something that simply wasn't delivered. The goal of the site is to allow those people a place to express their frustration in a reasonable and constructive manner by providing their reasoning behind why they felt they were mislead and hopefully it will lead to something being done one way or another. I and many others would love a driver that allows us to use the card on Vista to the full extent of its capabilities rather than following one of the NVidia forums moderator's suggestions that there's no reason to upgrade to Vista."
Ce vedeti rau in asta? Daca vor aparea jocuri DX10, proiectate in special pentru Vista, si nVIDIA inca spune sa se ruleze jocul in DX9 pe WIN XP (lucru ce NU SE VA INTAMPLA), atunci da, o sa ne putem pune semne de intrebare... dar pana atunci, dam din gura aiurea si aruncam cu rahat in nVIDIA.
Five days after Vista's launch Nvidia still doesn’t have a WHQL driver for the OS. Nvidia's boss is not happy, the VPs are not happy and certainly the shareholders are not happy. The driver team had five long years to finish up a job but has so far failed.
ATI - DAAMIT however you want to call AMD’s graphic division managed to serve up a WHQL driver before the Vista launch. DAAMIT driver is up and is WHQL. DAAMIT told us it could do it and it did. Unfortunately Nvidia didn’t.
Nvidia has produced a beta driver and we wrote about it here but some readers reported that the SLI doesn’t work under 64-bit Vista. It should, as Nvidia say its there and it works. But it seems that Nvidia really rushed this driver. Then you also have the problem of the lack the performance of the two cards with the driver, as the games render with single card only.
Nvidia has dropped all other software developments in order to make the WHQL Vista driver as soon as possible. You can expect the driver very soon but no one can say when exactly. Since you could argue that the firm had five years to finish the job, can you really say that they didn't have enough time and that this is not a big deal?
Au lansat un driver pe 13 Feb. 2007 - but guess what:
Beta Driver
PS.You still don't see nothing wrong in this picture, right?
