NVIDIA and AMD have been moving toward GPU Computing for a long time with CUDA and what became ATI Stream. How do things change with an API that runs on all hardware?

We don't have any performance details, but we do have hardware specifications. This part looks lean, mean, and poised to take the single card multi-GPU crown from AMD.

Take Intel's Atom processor and pair it with NVIDIA's GeForce 9400M chipset and you've got the Ion platform. The latest bold move from NVIDIA offers an alternative to the anemic 945G chipset in current Atom based PC designs, with a faster, more capable chipset that can fully accelerate HD video decode among other things.

Two applications, both running parts of their code on the GPU are now available for end users to transcode video. As of Catalyst 8.12, all AMD Radeon HD 4800 and 4600 owners get access to a free GPU accelerated video transcoder designed to compete with Elemental's Badaboom, the world's first video transcoder developed in CUDA. Here's a hint: only one of them is actually good.

It was the biggest launch for ATI since the memorable R300 (Radeon 9700 Pro), yet we failed to get the full story on how RV770 (Radeon HD 4800) came to be until now. It's one of the best tales I've ever heard since the 12 years I've been running AnandTech, it's the RV770 story.

We delve into Far Cry 2 performance across multiple settings and DX versions. Beyond this we do a full top to bottom hardware analysis using the game.
video
NVIDIA has released a new driver that adds a few new PhysX and SLI features and should improve performance in some cases. There are also recent developments in PhysX and GPU computing that we will touch on.

After last week's review of Rock Band 2 and this weeks launch of Guitar Hero World Tour, we had some unanswered questions to ... well ... answer. So here it is, GHWT. Does it stack up?
video
We take a first look at a HD4350 solution for those HTPC owners with the multi-channel LPCM blues.
video
UPDATED... Some review samples and RETAIL versions of the Radeon HD 4830 were sent out with one too many SIMDs disabled. This resulted in lowered performance in our (and other) reviews of the part as reported on launch day. Here are the details.
video
We've had some time to play with Rock Band 2 along with the new standard and premium drum kits and the new guitar. Take a look at what we think of this second installment from Harmonix.
video
UPDATED -- With AMD's introduction of a $130 part that can handle high quality settings at decent resolutions, we also see an escalation in the price war NVIDIA is waging with it's GeForce 9 Series parts.
video
We unleash the force in Lucas Arts' latest Star Wars game.
video
While these lower end cards aren't all that great for gaming (in spite of major advantages over integrated graphics), they offer a great set of features for those who want a quiet HTPC card with 8-channel LPCM over HDMI.

Many have been waiting for the higher memory variant of AMD's 4870 since it's launch. It is now available, and at very good prices. Our tests show performance improvement due to the additional memory increase as well as direct comparisons to other hardware.
