Nvidia satser på audio

Det er positivt at Nvidia tar opp kampen med Creative. For selv om Creative kanskje lager bra maskinvare så har de noen helt forferdelig dårlige drivere som de sjelden eller aldri oppdaterer. Det er derfor spesielt interessant når vi vet at Nvidia er blant de beste mhp. driver-utvikling til de fleste arkitekturer.

 

Men et eventuelt SoundStorm-lydkort blir neppe PCI-basert...

 

Hentet fra nForce Audio FAQ'en:

 

"Q14: Will there be a standalone Soundstorm card?

 

A: Now there are two issues at hand here. The feasability with regards to the bandwidths involved and the desireablity of removing one of the most attractive aspects of the Nforce board and thus allowing it to work on alternative manufacturers' boards. For the former until PCI-express comes along next year it is not feasable. The bandwidths involved are 200MB/s plus with 64 3D voices, environmental effects, 256 2D voices, etc etc all going on and thus not possible over the current PCI bus. The latter issue therefore need not yet be discussed. The mobo scene may be very different next year when it is no longer a major issue. The other reason PCI-express instead of PCI is required for this is down to latency. The PCI bus gives each item an equal chance... the PCI-express is isosynchronous and allows data as needed... of course the current dedicated hypertransport link means as close to zero latency as possible."
