The specs and capabilities of modern smartphones/handheld devices have been increasing rapidly for several years and according to the GPU developers of Imagination Technologies, the sky's the limit. The company owns and develops the PowerVR 3D architecture that dominates the mobile 3D segment; company reps at GDC this week have told journalists that it's already designing smartphone-style GPUs that will deliver PS3-quality graphics and come to market in the next three years. Games wouldn't be limited to tiny screens or lousy resolutions either, but could be delivered (or output to TV) at 720P. This sort of capability is just one of Imagination Technologies' targets. The company has already been...

The nVIDIA GeForce2 GTS Ultra and Detonator 3 Drivers nVIDIA's Technology War Machine Rolls On By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 8/14/00 You've got to hand it to nVIDIA. They crank out new technology from a hardware and software standpoint, at a pace that has the rest of the competitive field cringing. If nVIDIA was like a weapon, in this War of 3D Graphics, they would be an Abrams Tank with a Gatlin Gun strapped on top, clearing a path of destruction as they relentlessly rolled onward. Perhaps that is a little over the top but it seems as if there is no end to their arsenal of next generation 3D Graphics product. At the very least they seem to execute new...

The NVidia GeForce 2 MX Top End Performance At Bargain Basement Prices - And It Over-clocks too! By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 7/7/00 There is something strange about 3D Graphics Cards that brings out the "crazies" in people. What amuses me the most is when people get into very emotional and heated discussions in our HotHardware Conference Room Forum. It is as if people hold their video cards so close to their hearts, the damn things are like spouses or children to them. While we personally don't understand this phenomenon here at HotHardware, one thing is for sure people get down right belligerent and opinionated about their 3D Graphics cards. With...

The Elsa Gladiac Based on the NVidia GeForce2 GTS With 32MB DDR SDRAM By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 6/4/00 Graphics Card reviews are probably the most regularly covered material that we produce here at Hot Hardware. Perhaps that is because there is an almost dizzying array of manufacturers to choose from. Regardless, Elsa has been known in the market for quite some time as a quality Graphics Card vendor with years of experience (15+ to be specific) in design and manufacturing. In addition, keeping pace with 3D graphics technology, Elsa releases products with every 6 month new release that the graphics chipset giant NVidia, can dish out. This is our take on...

The Leadtek Winfast GeForce2 GTS The next generation GeForce makes its HotHardware debut 5/5/00 By Dave "Davo" Altavilla Options, that's what typifies the Graphics Card Market at this point in time. I don't think I have ever seen a time when there were so many 3D Accelerators to choose from. There are so many different OEM manufacturers with lots of compelling technology to lure you into that next upgrade purchase. NVidia has certainly been contributing their fair share of product to the equation with their tireless six month new product introduction cycle. There is a ton of competing technology in the 3D Graphics space now and you, the blurry...

The Siluro GF256 GTS 64MB DDR More highly "over-clockable" hardware from Abit By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 8/9/00 The GeForce 2 market is what one would call "saturated".
