Nvidia's CES press conference.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 03:26:30 Thu, January 07, 2010

This is going to be a very short post due to the fact that I lost the original post that I worked on for about an hour because Nvidia's website crashed my browser. They are having problems with their News page due to CES I guess...

The only thing mentioned in the press conference that you folks would be interested in is that GF100 (Fermi) is "in volume production, ramping very hard and you can get a sneak peak of it here at CES." They also introduced 3D Vision Surround which is three 120Hz monitors arranged in a horizontal fashion. It is obvious that 3D Vision Surround is meant to combat ATI's Eyefinity technology.

I am hoping that some more GPU related stories will come out of this year's CES, and if they do you can be sure that I will post them here for your reading pleasure.

Amen #2, If Nvidia thinks they can take the performance crown and ask an inordinate price of $400-500 or more, they're in for a big surprise! There will be limits on those high-end sales in this economy, and they'll alienate more of the die-hards by making them bear the burden of engineering and development costs. I hope Nvidia can bring a reasonable priced option that has true merits over ATI. Face it the green marketing has had plenty of time to properly position themselves in the market and if once again they hold to the "price it and they will come", they'll end up with... a hollow victory and later one hell of a price war I again don't see them winning.

I don't think 3D is going to catch on. I imagine it will end up being a high end thing for the people with the $$$$.
