[H]ard|OCP - ATI Radeon X1900 Series Evaluation

-------------
Until now, we haven’t had a single video card that was able to run F.E.A.R. smoothly at 1600x1200 with 2X AA. Well, the X1900 XT and XTX can not only run it at that resolution, but they can also run it with Adaptive AA and High Quality AF enabled to boot.
-------------

If you want the fastest performing video cards right now that provide the highest level of image quality in games, it doesn’t get any better than the Radeon X1900 XT and XTX. You get High Quality AF, Adaptive AA, HDR with AA, and very fast shader performance. If you have been waiting to play F.E.A.R. at very high quality settings, your wait is over; the Radeon X1900 XT/XTX is the card for you.

Some suffix is possible, natch

G71 is Nvidia's first serious 90 nanometre chip that is supposed to fight and according to win over the R580, Radeon X1900 XTX. As far as we are aware, it is still not quite ready and is not launched either.

We will keep our eyes skinned, but unless Nvidia suddenly doesn't go through a change of heart the chip should be named the Geforce 7900.

WE'VE HEARD the Geforce 7900 name before. Some people mentioned it earlier, this is the first time we could confirm it from several independent sources. It seems that Nvidia plans to use Geforce 7900 xxx for its G71 chip. It can be GTX, GT or goodness knows what else now.

Sony PSP : les firmwares 2.0 à 2.5 contournés

Le jeu du chat et de la souris se poursuit entre Sony et les hackers au sujet de la console portable PSP. Ainsi, aujourd'hui nous avons appris qu'un hacker qui répond au nom de « Fanjita » a publié une nouvelle version de son programme « eLoader » pour les consoles de la marque nippone. Cette version estampillée 2.0 permettrait d'exploiter des failles du jeu GTA pour PSP afin de contourner les protections des firmwares 2.0, 2.01 et 2.5 (la version 2.6 n'est pas gérée) liés à cette console.

Le programme « eLoader » permet ainsi de faire tourner des programmes non officiels (émulateurs Super Nintendo, lecteurs de flux RSS, émulateur MAME, émulateur SCUMM ...) sur une console PSP avec firmware 2.0, 2.01 et 2.5. La liste des programmes compatibles avec « eLoader 2.0 » s'allonge très rapidement au fur et à mesure que le temps passe.

Pour le moment, seul le firmware de 2.6 de la PSP n'a pas été contourné, mais ce même Fanjita a déjà réussi à faire fonctionner un Tetris non officiel sur une PSP équipée du firmware 2.6... Le hacker serait donc déjà en train de travailler sur une autre version d'eLoader qui pourrait être compatible avec ce nouveau firmware. Nul doute maintenant que Sony proposera rapidement un autre firmware qui viendra colmater ces brèches. Sony reste effectivement farouchement opposé à l'utilisation de programmes non officiels sur sa console.

Creative Fatal1ty 1010 Mouse

Bonne souris, mais notre G5 est encore ce qu'il y a de mieux!

"This is a good gaming mouse at a pretty reasonable price, but it's far from the best we've seen. It seems tailor made for a particular gaming genre and style, and while that may suit some gamers, it's not for everyone. You've got to spend some real time with it before it becomes natural and comfortable. The software covers all the basics, but doesn't really offer any advanced functionality. We feel much more comfortable suggesting Logitech's G5 Laser Optical Mouse to the average gamer."

Rumeurs autour du 'GeForce 7900 GTX'...

Alors qu'ATI ne devrait plus trop tarder à dévoiler ses Radeon X1900, les rumeurs concernant la réponse de NVIDIA vont bon train. On sait depuis pas mal de temps maintenant que la firme au caméléon travaille sur un chip désigné sous le nom de code G71.

D'après les dernières rumeurs en date, ce chip gravé en 90 nanomètres pourrait être dévoilé au mois de mars à l'occasion du CeBIT 2006 et son nom officiel pourrait être GeForce 7900 GTX. Au niveau des spécifications on parle d'un chip doté de 32 pixel pipelines et d'une fréquence comprise entre 700 et 750 MHz alors que le GeForce 7800 GTX 512 Mo possède 24 pipelines et utilise une fréquence de 550 MHz. Au niveau de la mémoire au parle de GDDR 1,1ns 800 - 900 MHz. Les modèles 7900 GT et 7900 GTX pourraient être lancés en même temps et la disponibilité des cartes devraient être immédiate. Les performances de deux GeForce 7900 GTX en SLI associées à un Athlon 64 FX-60 seraient 70% plus élevées que deux GeForce 7800 GTX 512 Mo.

Bien entendu, il faut prendre ces informations avec des pincettes mais il n'y aucun doute sur le fait que le G71 sera bel et bien la réponse de NVIDIA au Radeon X1900 et que par conséquent, il ne devrait plus tarder à être dévoilé officiellement. Affaire et benchmarks à suivre ...

The making of: Dust & Dust2

About Dust2:

To this day I am still amazed that such a simple map could go as far as it has, but a lot of people have helped along the way from Jess Cliffe and Chris Ashton at the very beginning, through to Brian Martel, Richard Gray, Kristen Perry, Ido Magal, and a whole plethora of other behind-the-scenes workers. I haven't touched the map for several years now, and it keeps marching on.

At any point in time, Dust 2 is host to around 30,000 players, around 15% of all online gamers (source). Combined with the original Dust, this accounts 20% - 1 in 5 of all players currently playing any online FPS.
