While I marvel at the engineering involved in combining the AMD and Intel Nforce4 Chipsets. I have to agree with flux.

It's a technological stroke of genius. As a practical matter, that board will only sell to people with WAAY to much fucking money.

On the other hand, it would make a great base for setting up serious hometheatre PC, and it would be ideal for content creation work.

what the fuck? You don't need this unless you work for fucking NASA. Its nowhere near ideal cuz its nowhere near cost effective.

Why would it have to load faster when we close it after 2 minutes anyway?

Really? I close it after 4 minutes.


I don't think the point is loading porn faster anyway. But you can run more vids at once. Total Porn Immersion.

You can't run more videos at once either because video playing is done by the CPU, not the GPU.

Dual-Core is just the beginning Flux. Multi-Core is coming.

I was thinking more in terms of the video overlays anyway.


And how am I stealing your IP GFK? You wanted it to load faster. I want to make it possible to blow your load faster.

Try playing more than one movie at once, in the same player. As you change focus the movie in the background stops playing.

It also happens on a dual-display setup, when view two vid files on seperate monitors. The display overlay part of the subsystem can only output to one display. If I remember right, it's a limitation of having 1 graphics card running both displays. If it's 2 seperate cards, I don't think it's a problem. So, with 4 cards, the problem is even less.

didn't nVidia release a video player that renders completely in the GPU (or am I just drunk again?)

Half-drunk I'd say.

If I remember right, it's a feature unlockable with coolbits (or something similar) that lets you encode in the GPU, but I don't know about playing.

[edit]

Just suddenly remembered, it's only available on the 6x and 7x series cards.
