To be honest, in Qin Feng's heart, NVIDIA is indeed the most powerful, ATI is second, and Voodoo, which is now infinitely famous, is third.

But at this moment, of course, we can't say that.

"I'm really sorry about the differences in national culture. In China, the more important things are ranked behind." Qin Feng explained quickly.

There is no better excuse in the world than this.

Sure enough, this explanation made the three people's expressions soften.

"Three of you, now, I just want to talk to you about cooperation!" Qin Feng said seriously, "Now, your company's voodoo graphics card is the most powerful in the computer market.

3D graphics cards, but they are also facing crises and challenges. And our company is also facing a powerful win-tel alliance!"

The three of them did not say anything, but looked at Qin Feng. They wanted to know what Qin Feng could say about Qin Feng's alarmist talk.

When Qin Feng saw that the three of them did not leave but stayed, he knew something was going to happen.

No matter what, at least the person didn't leave, which gave me a chance.

"First of all, your company's graphics card is very poor at developing 2D performance!" Qin Feng said.

The three of them nodded. They had no objection to this. After all, their voodoo graphics card was specifically designed for 3D games, so the 2D performance was a bit worse.

There is nothing we can do about this. Fortunately, Voodoo 2 has also been enhanced in 2D. Although it is not top-notch, it is much better than the first generation. It can only be said to be worse than ATI, but it is not necessarily worse than other brands.

.

"Of course, in terms of 2D, it is easy to catch up. The future of computer games is still in 3D!" Qin Feng said.

The three of them nodded. If Qin Feng wanted to say that 2d was important, then they would just walk away.

"Let's talk about 3D. I believe the three seniors should all know that Microsoft's win98 system is about to be released!" Qin Feng said.

When the three heard the name Microsoft, a slight look of disgust appeared on their faces.

When Qin Feng saw it, he knew it was even more interesting.

"And Microsoft has just launched a version together with Nvidia, you should also know it!" Qin Feng said.

Ross nodded.

Could they not be clear? They really don't have a good impression of Microsoft. It's too domineering. Since the launch of win95, Microsoft has become more and more domineering. They use their strong dominance in the operating system market to require major manufacturers to work together.

Develop directx standards.

Is this standard good? Of course it is. It provides a common hardware driver standard for all involved, so that game developers do not have to write different drivers for each brand of hardware, and it also reduces the complexity of installing and setting up hardware for users.

Spend.

It can be said that this standard is very good. But the problem lies here. It is launched by Microsoft. Once it gets global response, all related hardware companies and game companies must rely on this platform.

to develop.

Although the beneficiaries are all over the world, the biggest beneficiary is Microsoft. With this platform, Microsoft will have no rivals in the desktop system in the future. It is impossible for anyone to challenge Microsoft.

In this case, everyone will have to look at Microsoft's face in the future.

This is what their 3dfx company is unwilling to do.

The three founders quit their companies and started their own businesses with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands of dollars, just for that freedom.

So, they don't compromise. They are the only display chip company that has not opened up to Microsoft's DirectX.

They have their pride.

"But NVIDIA and Microsoft have cooperated, and NVIDIA will become your company's most powerful opponent." Qin Feng said.

"NVIDIA?" The three of them twitched their lips.

As for Nvidia, how can it be their opponent?

ati is pretty much the same.

Qin Feng smiled.

"I have internal information. Nvidia will launch an epoch-making 3D graphics card within the year, called tnt!" Qin Feng said, "If my information is correct, the technical indicator of tnt should be 0.35 micron core

Process, 90mhz core frequency, 8m of video memory, 110mhz video memory frequency, and its pixel fill rate has reached an astonishing 180mhz per second." Qin Feng said slowly.

When TNT was born, just like its name, it exploded all over the world.

It directly became the most popular graphics card in the world that year, directly knocking voodoo off the altar.

Because the most popular voodoo graphics card today has a pixel fill rate of only 90m per second when other aspects are almost the same.

It can be said that in terms of pixel fill rate, Nvidia's tnt has directly doubled.

Pixel fill rate refers to the number of pixels rendered by the graphics processing unit per second. The unit is mpixel/s (millions of pixels per second), or gpixel/s (gigapixels per second), which is used to measure the current graphics card.

The most commonly used indicator of pixel processing performance. The rendering pipeline of the graphics card is an important part of the display core. It is a group of specialized channels in the display core responsible for adding color to graphics. The more rendering pipelines, the frequency at which each group of pipelines works (usually

The higher the core frequency of the graphics card, the higher the fill rate of the graphics card is, and the higher the performance of the graphics card. Therefore, the performance of the graphics card can be roughly judged from the pixel fill rate of the graphics card.

It can be said that this directly affects the performance of the graphics card. Especially in 3D processing, the pixel fill rate is crucial.

After the three people heard this, they were obviously horrified.

If it really comes out, then voodoo 2 will be completely defeated. It can even be said that voodoo 3, which they are developing, is not as good as tnt in terms of pixel fill rate. And voodoo 3 is planned to be released in

It will be launched in the middle of next year.

This gap is too big.

"Qin Feng, how could you possibly know NVIDIA's internal secrets?" Ross couldn't believe it.

Qin Feng smiled.

Of course he doesn't know, but as one of the thousands of game fans who admired TNT and wanted a piece of it but couldn't get it, he is well aware of the performance of subsequent generations of Nvidia.

No way, various media reports back then were crazy about NVIDIA's graphics card performance. And NVIDIA's fans have never been disappointed. Its development speed far exceeded Moore's Law, and its performance improvement took less than 18 months.

, it will be doubled and the price will be reduced by half.

That's why Qin Feng went to NVIDIA. But NVIDIA, which really masters the core technology, doesn't care about itself. In other words, NVIDIA has directly embraced the big tree of Microsoft, so it really doesn't need to cooperate with Qin Feng.

"If this is really the case, then we will indeed be in trouble!" Ross frowned.

"No, it's not just trouble, it's also a crisis!" Qin Feng kept attacking, "Because, according to my source, the price of tnt will most likely not exceed US$200!"
Chapter completed!
