General: AMD DirectX11 White Paper Released

Legit Reviews posted one of the first white papers on DirectX 11 released by AMD

"Some of the guys up in Toronto sent us an e-mail this morning and explained that DirectX 11 is important and we should take NVIDIA downplaying it with a grain of salt. It seems they are worried that the tried and true NVIDIA marketing machine will possibly start pumping out a lot of information to deflect and sway consumers. This is likely going to be the case as NVIDIA is rumored to be late to the game with DirectX 11 graphics cards and is going to have a rough time to get them released this calendar year. To help avoid this looming marketing battle, AMD has released a white paper that has been put together by AMD to showcase the importance of DirectX 11 and why it matters. They also gave us quick breakdown explaining that DX 11 is about efficiency..."

General: Zune HD uses NVIDIA Tegra processor - confirmed

PC Perspective reports that the Zune HD is using NVIDIA Tegra processor

"Several websites have been following the rumor, that started at donanimhaber.com, but apparently no one can confirm whether or not Microsoft's latest portable media player does indeed use NVIDIA's system-on-a-chip design.

Well PC Perspective can: the Zune HD does in fact use NVIDIA's Tegra processor. I actually learned this fact from some NVIDIA staffers over at Computex in early June but I guess I just didn't realize how "news worthy" the information was. No longer do you have to worry about "rumors" on the subject - Tegra has its first major design win."

Nevertheless I decided to attend."

Accelenation posted an editorial on NVIDIA, VISTA & CRT Refresh Rates

"Getting a CRT display off 60Hz, especially in 3D games, has been a bone I've gnawed on for well over a decade. I've investigated solutions under ATI & NVIDIA graphics cards dating back to Windows 95. When Windows XP was released we thought the problem had been addressed, but still it appeared from time to time to haunt us. Before Windows Vista arrived I had just about managed to exercise all these cantankerous spirits, but of course, evil Vista has managed to raise the dead!"
