there was talk of EU being bought out by Microsoft a couple of years ago. Then Microsoft backed out and tried to go after SL but they eventually gave up.
Anyway good news with the nividia partnership. Probably the most respected graphics group out there.

If you want most bang for the :twocents: yes then ati is the best, but if you want the best raw power and dont care about money nvidia is the best and most likely will continue to be. And nope cryengine2 cant be run on max with the latest cards, atleast not unless you want a good fps. You get around perhaps 30 fps with everything maxed and even in sli you wont get much more. 30 fps is fully playable though. But then again no game using cryengine at the moment has used everything the engine can do.

4870x2 from Ati is the current king of the gfx cards.

I don't want this to turn into a shit slinging competition. Just stating facts.;)
 
Hell yes I wanna loot a Geforce!
 
Bets on wether they will be in hunting, mining, or crafting nao.

it sort of depends on how you look at it though and also if you mean the x2 one well that's like doh it's 2 cards in one so not comparable to one gtx 280. when nvidia release their gtx 280x2 i bet it will kick ati's butt again.
 
ATI currently being best bang for the buck (or vice versa) is for the casual gamer, if you are a hardcore 8-12 hours a day gamer, then you are better off paying premium for the top cards, as over a 2 year period time (which is considered the time owners keep their cards before getting a new) you would have spent more money in electricity than you saved by buying a "value card", you rarely see this put into the equation when pointing out the best value for money cards.

Those value cards uses maybe 20-40 watts more, that equals having a 30 watts bulb running for 10 hours a day for 2 years, which cost money in electricity.

Electricity in Denmark where I live is expensive, especially in Copenhagen that gets their power from DONG, ouch :(

Virtual World Entropia Universe Partners With NVIDIA to Provide Enhanced Visuals for Game Play

Aug 19, 2008 12:07 ET

GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN--(Marketwire - August 19, 2008) -

Entropia Universe (www.entropiauniverse.com), the award-winning 3D online virtual universe for interactive entertainment, social networking, and e-commerce, today announced that Entropia Universe will be part of NVIDIA's "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" program, which ensures consumers of the highest quality gaming experience when running NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics hardware inside their PC.

As a result of joining the "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" program, NVIDIA will work closely with Mindark, developer of Entropia Universe, to enhance the visual effects within the game. By taking advantage of the latest technologies offered by GeForce GPUs, and the implementation of the Crytek® engine to the Entropia Universe platform set to launch later this summer, gamers will experience an immersive, exciting online experience.

"We are thrilled to be working with NVIDIA and look forward to a prosperous future together," said David Simmonds, Business Development Director of Mindark, developer of Entropia Universe. "The expertise that the NVIDIA team has to offer is so valuable to us as we strive to continually provide the best gaming experience for our players."

In addition, NVIDIA is offering Mindark thirty GeForce 9800 GT GPU-based graphic cards, which will be put into select Entropia Universe loots for players to scavenge during their online exploits.

Good show MindArk,

Another positive partner to add to the growing list to strength the market position of Entropia Universe & MindArk.

Please let us all know from which official point in time the generous Nvidia gifts shall be distributed into the universe.

Thankyou,
Sparkz
 
PLEASE PLEASE tell me Mindark is not going to pull the same bullshit my last game did and support only NSHITTYA graphics cards.

I have yet to try a NSHITTYA card that worked right in any system I have made. Hell 90% of the time they dont even light up the monitor to set em up. They just sit there getting hot.

I have tried using them in Asus bds, pcchips bds among other lesser named ones. I have tried em with intell procs and amd procs I have tried both AGP and PCI versions and THEY NEVER WORK remotely at a usable point.

If MA are going to do that and go support just NSHIITYA for Crytropia ask them to let me loot alot of ESI cause that would DEFINATELY be the last straw.

From a popular culture point of view, in the United States summer season, is often considered to begin at the Memorial Day weekend (the last Monday in May) and end at the Labor Day weekend (the first Monday in September).

Other parts of the world see it differently.
