Intel "gaming" GPU due out in fall 2007
Didn't intel try to corner the discrete graphics market in the late
90s with their i740 and i752 graphics card, which failed miserably and couldn't keep up with technological advances made by Nvida, ATI, 3Dfx and others. The Tech Report - Intel gaming GPU due out in fall 2007? http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/10549 |

Intel "gaming" GPU due out in fall 2007
Yup, I purchased an I740 board, a Diamond 3D Starfighter. It was 8meg agp,
but the 8meg was entirely for frame buffer. All textures were provided to the card via agp texturing. In theory, a good idea, except the agp bus was slow compared to the speed of onboard memory. The result was that everytime new textures appeared on the screen, the game would stutter for 1-2sec. It became extremely annoying after a while. This coupled with the fact that there was no OpenGl driver at the time. I ended up returning the card. "Yousuf Khan" wrote in message ...
