    Nvidia may quit making video cards and move to other things

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Nvidia's NV38 (along with the rest of the FX series) has been dubbed as a substandard card by team dx. This means that DX will not include NV in it's developement range for directx10. Team DX made the decision "as a favor to the graphics industry". Team DX claims that NV violated their partnership agreement by changing the DX9 code with their latest set of drivers as caught by Xbit labs recently. This violates the licensing agreement and conpromises DX's quality in order to make it seem as if ATi and NV cards alike display the same image quality (which would be really bad in this case). This can only be fixed by reinstalling dx9b. So by all means, Do Not Download Detonator 50 Drivers!!! Along with this, NV has been caught cheating on benchmarks as they usually do over at Anandtech . Notice that all of the realworld benchmarks perform better on ATi, yet all synthetic benchmarks perform better by a large margin on NV hardware. "These violations are inexcusable" said a DX employee, and I'd have to agree. So without the inside drive on DX10, NV will not be able to even optimize their cards as ATi can and will probably fall into bankruptsy just as 3dfx did before them...

    Well then, NVIDIA is in serious trouble if this is true. They might stop making cards all together. Should of never manufactured the FX cards, they are crap. The Ti series was legenday, **** the FX cards. They better do something......

    T-Bird where did you find that, I doubt that Nvidia would go bankrupt even if they did stop making video cards.

    Linky? This is old news, for the most part anyway.

    I doubt Nvidia will go into "bankruptsy!"
