Ge-Force 4 to support DirectX 8.1

[OC-Master]

Ge-Force 4 will infact only support DirectX 8.1 and not DirectX 9. Nvidia's Eclipse will be the first to fully support DirectX 9.


Some of DirectX 9's features include 64-bit colour, 8X FSAA, 3D Compressed Textures,

(NV25) Ge-Force 4 4600 256bit/32-bit colour

300MHz Core
650MHz Ram DDR
4 pipes / 2 vertexs


(NV30) Eclipse - 512bit/64-bit colour

400MHz Core
1GHz Ram (250MHz 4ns QDR by Micron)
8 pipes / 4 vertexs

Nvidia is looking good in the next twelve months!

If this is true, then I will be one happy bugger whence they arrive.

Just curious though, were did you obtain this info from???

Just curious though, were did you obtain this info from??? in your signature, it says that you have a 40 and 30 gig hard drives. just wanted to let you know, in case you didnt, that if you are running two different rpm drives on the same cable, it will, by default, both slow down to the speed of the slower one.

Uhm??

It will just slow the max transfer rate - not rotation speed. If you have an ATA33 and an ATA66 on the same cable both drives will be ATA33.

I read a post in General Hardware awhile ago and it stated:

If you have an ATA100 drive and a ATA66 drive and the ATA 66 was the master the ATA100 will not be limited to being ATA66 it will go ATA100. It will just seem slower as the ATA66 will be transferring slower etc.

Different type of drives on one cable doesn't effect the outcome unless your on ATA66+ and on ATA33 cables.

Wow!

1Ghz Memory! Even RAM isn't that quick!

I dont get it?

Am I the only one who thinks 64-bit color is something of a waste? It exceeds the human eye's capability to differentiate color by a wide margin. :p

From what I understand, and can tell from personal experience, is that it only slows down the 7200prm drive if the 5400rpm is set to "master".
