[S/A]How Nvidia blacklists sites like Hardware Secrets

[Hell Hound]

Once again you are reading FAR too much into things.

No matter what you think yourself, CUDA and PhysX are FEATURES. While they may not have a large impact upon the current market, it is up to the writer to talk about FEATURES and let their readers decide if these FEATURES are right for them.

The same thing goes for ATI's Stream, OpenCL, DX11...etc, etc.

NO one said anything about blindly following anything. Talking about features in a matter of fact way without fawning over them is part of EDUCATING your readers.


And obviously, people still don't understand much about CUDA. Gamers don't care about it? Then I guess you don't care about OpenCL, PhysX, Folding@Home, DirectCompute, etc because CUDA is what provides the interface to access these things on NVIDIA GPUs. Again, the same goes for ATI's Stream Compute architecture.

Stating that they were blacklisted to begin with is supposition. Thinking it was because of not mentioning PhysX or CUDA is just taking that supposition to the next level.

Sure they have a right not to mention something what may or may not affect their readers. However, they are doing their readers a disservice since one way or another since certain features (like CUDA) WILL end up having an impact in some way and readers should know more about them. You don't have to make love to a technology to educate people about it. State the facts and that's it.

When mentioning something people want to know more about it,dah.I think you know this already though so why sugar coat it.Dx is not cuda based.
