The official GT300/Fermi Thread

Yeah its pathetic whats going on. Im not a fanboy of either camp. I have a 9800gt, Im sorry 8800gt, whats the difference but I tend to favor Ati's buisiness ethics. At least they improve the industry for all consumers instead of the nvidian hypocrites. Nvidia, Were saving gameing by making pc games "special" and adding Physx. If they truley ment it, they would do whats best for us consumers and improve games for all platforms, even at a loss. Whats the saying "you recieve 10X what you give away" and I believe every word of it. In fact Id have more respect if they improved games at a loss, it isnt a loss if you recieve something in return, like sabotaging ati performance. If nvidia truley wants Physx to take the world by storm, then give it away and set it free, and open it up to everyone who really needs it. Just by doing this alone could be enough to make it adopted and used by everyone. They could make more money making it work better than anyone else, than being the only one with it, and then the money will come to them. Its really simple aint it?

If I had the cure for cancer what would I do?
a: Sell it by the bottle to be a millionaire
b: Give it away to save millions of lives

I would do b, but thats me, But I bet you I would make more than enough cash giving it away and saving lives.

Think if they marketed physx as folding for cures, and how they donated this technology to better help mankind. That would make me feel so fuzzy inside that Id want to buy a nvidia card! cuz were saving lives here and Nvidia can save more when you use their cards.

Instead of donating money to charity, just buy a nvidia gpu for 50$ or 100$ or more and help find the cures! anyone can help, see how much your helping day to day and make a difference. That sounds great if I do say myself!

This is not how you run a business. What world do you live in, a fantasy world where everything is powered by love. Should they give away computers to third world countries so they can learn, should they give free videocards to people so that they may fold? Your being completely unrealistic.

If they give physX out to anyone and didn't charge licensing for it, they would have just lost money developing the technology and lost money for buying ageia.

From your lovey dovey perspective, what as AMD done to benefit mankind? They run a business like anyone else.

By some of the points you are making, NV is already starting to save lives because their cards are the best at folding for cures and as a result they are one of the biggest contributers(ps3(rsx) too). You most likely know this too, so buy more NV cards. Honestly, I would find it tacky and relatively deceptive if NV main advertisements mentioned folding for diseases everywhere since we all know this was not their main purpose. It would seem shallow and artificial, because all of us that are not naive would know that NV sells videocards mainly and the folding part is just a bonus.

I don't even see how AMD improves the industry for all consumers, besides being present to present competition for the industry they are in. Something NV does as well.

Also how are you giving it away(the cure for cancer), if your still making money off it. The most selfless thing(and the right thing to do in your opinion) would be to not collect any of the money, any money generated from the patent donated to charity and lastly to do this somehow anonymously so you don't get the credit for it.

Guys, you know that NV does give PhysX out to anyone and don't charge licensing for it (developers or IHVs as AMD...), don't you?

They offered to implement CUDA for free to AMD (and PhysX in the batch), and PhysX it's completely free to license for software developers.

They bought AGEIA to use their PhysX as an attempt of marketing CUDA in the mainstream, gamer territory in it's race to standardize CUDA as the de facto GPGPU standard.

They didn't need money to produce a benefit from their investment, what they need it's CUDA being used.

Im sure Nvidia wouldnt make any money selling video cards if they had a life changing initiative to fold for cures.

There has been countless people who have left a impact in this world, some good and some bad. The only ones that matter are the good ones, because without them you may have never even had a chance to live. How many people can you name that have done something good for mankind? Its always harder to remember the good people that made a difference than the the ones who never do.
