HardOCP NVIDIA Editorial

Kyle Bennett has a rant at NVIDIA’s attitude to its end users and makes some interesting points along the way (some good, some bad - you decide), although if you already have an opinion on this subject you probably won’t be swayed one way or the other. Here’s a snippet:

The last year has been an incredible year when it comes to video cards. No wait, it has not. It has been an incredible year when it comes to video card companies that develop the technology. As far as the actual hardware goes, the Radeon R3XX series still remains the most impressive VPU introduction in recent memory as it truly revolutionized the way we play games and continues to do so. On the other end of the scale we have the GeForceFX 5800 series that without a doubt turned into the biggest joke in our community since Matrox brought us the Parhelia. That is not what I want to talk about however. I want to talk about the way NVIDIA is treating the people that have bought its products recently and every enthusiast that keeps up with the goings on in the world of VPU/GPUs.

Editorial : Is NVIDIA on a mission… @ HardOCP

Driver Heaven’s interview with Derek Perez reveals NV is willing to take a more active role within the community to help get its finger on the pulse and in a better position to listen to its end users. Which is a smart move and good news for most of us. If you’re a regular here you’ll know that’s already happening with the recent introduction of the nForce Beta Test Program.
