    ahhhh i remember, i read somewhere that nvidia wanted them to use one of their chips but nintendo decided against it....
    Nope it was Sega that was considering nvidia for the Dreamcast, but back then nvidia were considering quads instead of triangles which Sega didn't like because it gave them so much merde on the Saturn, so they made prototypes with 3DFx and PowerVR chips.

    Look up the NV1 and NV2.

    The only time I've really seen a positive link between nintendo and nvidia has been over their new handheld, which may use some form of Tegra part.

    weeeell and that might just be a rumor...
    nvidia needs good pr atm, and all the sudden there are rumors and public announcements that they have "lots of design wins" but no names mentioned

    It has always been an ATI clubhouse, so it can't turn to what it already is
    Are we there yet?

    Not really... about 1.5years ago is when it started to slowly chang.
    Before that it was Nvidia + Intel all the way, it does help that most of the big Nvidia and Intel trolls were banned though.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.

    It was Nvidia + Intel because of G80+Conroe... But yeah, AMD is doing it's job, nVidia being asleep helps them, though.

    amd as in amd doing its job... idk man... are they? where is their monster ipc 8core bulldozer? where is their ultra low power x86 chip? all they did in the past 5 years was deliver a terrible quadcore and then bit by bit fix it... and oh wow, they patched together a 6core chip, and they finally go mcm, but so what?

    amd as in ati has been very active...
    i dont think nvidia is sleeping though, they are working hard... very hard... they just made some bad decisions...

    nobody said rsx is a bad chip and nvidia screwed it up... several people just said that its slower than its desktop counterparts...
    and i dont think he meant to insult you... not at all...
    he didnt mention you, nor did he insult you or anybody else... he posted his opinion.

    hes right in critizicing you, and actually me and others as well, for not doing a quick google search before posting something. i could have sworn nintendo64 used an nvidia chip... but i should have checked
