If you’re looking for great DSL, and want to help out my site, use this link to signup for Speakeasy DSL. They have affordable home and business high-speed internet plans, special plans for hosting and gaming, better than cable-modem speeds, and great customer service. You’ll find them a better deal than Comcast cable, Time-Warner high speed internet, Millenium Digital Media, AOL, or MSN service providers.

Bleeding Edge Graphics from nVidia

Posted in Computers & Technology, Graphics by Elliott Back on June 26th, 2005.

Ars Technica pulls the wraps off the new NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX. With a $600 price tag, though, it had better have the muscle. The new card closely resembles the NV40 line of cores, with a few minor modifications:

  • 8 vertex pipelines, up from 6
  • 24 pixel pipelines, up from 12
  • The same 256 MB of DDR3 RAM
  • No shader replacement:
  • 430 Mhz clock

Direct X 9.0 and Shader V3 are supported, of course. Benchmarks make the card 50% faster than current offerings, and putting NVIDIA well ahead of my favorite little Canadian company, ATI. Feel free to buy, at only $599.
