NVIDIA Dictates Advertised Video Card Pricing @ HardOCP
Published: Thursday, June 19, 2008 | By: WillThis subject has really gotten me in a mixed bag of feelings over it. I just have no idea what to say about it. I'm thinking this is no good for us the consumers. Still looking at places like Newegg I just don't see it holding back the lower prices.
"Did you wonder why your GeForce purchasing experience may have changed? Have you wondered why you might have seen all cards priced the same or not priced at all? We have some answers for you on that front and it is called "UMAP."
Is this really legal? Talk a little about it in the Ninja Forums.

Grid - PC Game Review @ Gamepyre
Published: Friday, June 13, 2008 | By: WillThis game just looks awesome. I'm a huge fan of street racing type games. So I hope that Grid does not disappoint. In the graphics department it does not so far. The realistic damaged is just cool.
"Grid's graphics are outstanding. They are the best in the racing game genre, and the sound does not trail far behind. The game is filled with tons of features, races, tracks and vehicles, and the multiplayer races are not too shabby either. However, it is the realism that is the key; can you handle it or not? Only you can answer that question. Good luck in the sharp turns. The realism of both the car handling and vehicular damage is so realistic that you'll either love it or feel overwhelmed by it. Honestly, if you have the ability to try Grid on the Xbox 360 or the PS3 go for it; it will help you decide if you want the PC version."
I also hope it is not just another NFS knock off.

AMD and Havok to Optimize Physics for Gaming
Published: Thursday, June 12, 2008 | By: WillJust when everyone was running, and screaming that Physics are dead. AMD is on board with Havok to bring physics to all of us gamers. So that will make it Intel, and AMD for Havok.
"As the complexity and visual fidelity of video games increases, AMD wants to take advantage of opportunities to improve the game experience," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "By working with the clear market leader in physics software, AMD can optimize our platforms to consistently deliver the best possible visual experience to the gamer."
I knew this was going to happen after NVidia bought Ageia.
