  • GeForce FX and more from AGDC 2002

    <div align="center"><img src="http://images.tweaktown.com/imagebank/adgc02_header.gif" border="0"></div>



    To be deadly honest with you, the Australian Game Developers Conference which was held over this past weekend at the Melbourne Convention Center was not all that exciting for a strictly hardware junkie like myself.

    However... for an Australian conference, it was very good to see large companies such as Intel, AMD, nVidia, Microsoft, Sony and Creative in your backyard all putting some dollars back into the industry for the benefit of future game development in our good country down under.

    While we did not see it necessary to post any formal coverage, throughout the weekend we did learn a few things of interest for us hardware folks, obviously though much of it was focused toward the gaming industry with no ground-breaking new juicy hardware news to feed you folk with.

    So without further ado, here is some of the interesting bit and pieces I found @ ADGC 2002.

    Please note throughout this thread you can click on each image for a larger version.


    nVidia bring beautiful Dawn to our shores!new video footage of both the Dawn and Ogre demos for your viewing pleasure. To view these AVI files, you will need to download the latest DivX codec from the DivX website.

    You can download both videos here from our servers:

    - Video #1 (Dawn) (10.1mb)

    - Video #2 (Ogre) (6.7mb)



    UPDATE - New Download Mirrors

    Overclockers Australia were kind enough to mirror both of these videos...

    - Video #1 (Dawn) from OCAU (10.1mb)

    - Video #2 (Ogre) from OCAUConclusion

          I once found a review on this case but lost link due to reformat.

            To be honest I am not 100% sure which case it is - it looked to be a fairly standard mid tower.

                It looks like a Nikao case.

                    Wiggo, Thanx for the link. I am building a PC for my friend and he wants a simular looking case to my SF-201 Black Aluminum/Magneseium case for around $50.00, at the very least I convinced him to purchase a decent Antec True Power 430 watt power supply.

                          I have heard from many Taiwanese companies that the chip is being delayed from nVidia. I still think we will need to wait 1 - 2 months for them to become mainstream, possible a bit longer.

                            When the 5800 Ultra comes out.. will it have 256mb of ddr or 128? 256 would be awesome....

                              My bet is 128mb at first, then later will be new models with 256mb - we don't really need 256mb for textures right now anyways.
