GPUReview video podcast! Ask me questions, lots of questions.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 04:54:51 Thu, May 08, 2008

Out of the blue, I have decided to try my hand at making a video podcast type thing using my digital camera and the service known as YouTube. I can talk about the recent news that we've posted and answer questions from you guys. I am looking for questions about the following subjects:

"How to" type questions about video cards.

Questions about the video card industry.

Questions about specific video cards or video card types.

Questions or comments about this site.

What sites you guys read for video card reviews.

Questions for me in general. The more interesting or amsuing the better. ;)

So leave a question in the comments area for this post. Please hurry, because I want to film the first episode this weekend. I am very excited about this!

How about a "How To" on how to replace a stock fan with an aftermarket cooler or waterblock?

what kind of video card do you have at this moment, what do you like to play, and if you have any gpu dream cards.

How about YOUR thoughts on the best review sites? I personally like |H|ardOCP and 3dGuru.com best. What do you think of those?

podcast would be nicer, one I could subscribe to and just have it appear in iTunes once in a while, but I understand that takes significant bandwidth...

Whats your POV on Nvidia using SLI as their new next gen? the 9800GTX was a meh improvement over the G80, we've all seen that, but the 9800GTX isn't their new high-end, the 9800GX2 is. That card will consistantly outperform the 8800Ultra. Do you think that using a bundled SLI package like that for a performance increase is an acceptable next gen?

And of course, I'd like to know anything you know about the RV770 or GT200, if your willing to divulge. I've been checking about five or six sites a day, plus a "past 24hr" google search, for information on either up coming card. Will the HD4K series be a radeon 9? an X1K? or another HD2900?

What is your opinion on ATI's R700 and NVIDIA's GT200?

What are your thoughts on Intel possibly entering the graphics market? Do you think they have substantial enough resources to maybe take over nVidia in that market after the first two or three product lines?

I am considering replacing my 8800GTS 640MB with the Sparkle passively cooled 8800GT. Will the ventilation in my Coolermaster Centurion V case be sufficient (one front 80mm fan and one rear 120mm fan)?

Also, what do you think Nvidia's strategy will be when it has to compete with both AMD and Intel and their future CPUs with graphics cores on the same die?

Where's the 3dmark06 results are gone in the "compare cards" page? It was pretty much the most understandable benchmark of the cards' performance relative to each other, and it seems to be gone for well over a year and a half already. Are they too much hassle to make or they don't reflect the cards' performance accurately enough?
This whole mess of trying to figure out the core/memory/shader clocks, taking into account the number of SPs and other stuff makes my head spin.
