The NV Meeting

I didn't mean to be such a tease with that last line of my previous blog, I just needed to end the blog so I could focus on the phone call I was in the middle of :)

There wasn't anything special going on in the NV meeting (there was another NVIDIA meeting earlier today that was more special), the phone call was to cover two issues. The first was this issue with dying GeForce 6800 Ultra cards; at this point we've had one PCI Express NV45 and one AGP 6800 Ultra completely die on us. We've also had one 6800 show up at our doorstep DOA, not to mention two other GeForce 6 cards that have been acting up today. As long as there are no issues with cards that you all have bought, I'm happy, otherwise this is a problem. I have no idea what's causing it but it's something that we are paying attention to.

The next issue was in reference to NV40's Video Processor. I have been waiting for codecs and drivers to test the video processor ever since NV40's release and to this day have not received anything - and it's not due to my lack of trying. I've been hounding NVIDIA every week since the chip's release to no avail. Supposedly I've got a meeting next week to get an update on the situation, needless to say it's frustrating.

I'll keep you posted on what happens. I've got more meetings tonight and if I'm lucky I may go out with a few friends to see Bourne Supremacy, we'll see.

Take care.
