Asustek and Gigabyte Cancel Joint-Venture Efforts.

Hehe. Wonder where they have so much bandwidth

but i have experienced that with ASUS VGAs perform better than other Brands that have the same chipset(most likely to be STLABS(i prefer call them unbranded-coz i've got two blown VGAs of them n i hate buying STLABS))

Well, you can't compare ASUS and a no-name brands.

thats not no name men.unity is full of these junks
its STLAB

Well, I wasn't talking about Sri Lankan people's categorization of no-name or named brands. International market doesn't identify these as brand names.

but here in LK these junks are sold than branded.coz they may offer twice the memory as branded cards for less price than branded ones.that why they have a market here unless otherwise they are just junks.

Sri Lankan people are stupid. They think having 256MB or 512MB VRAM will let them play any game out there.
These resellers are taking full advantage of this situation.

ya i agree they have much less fill rates than branded cards(when it comes to ASUS they have the highest fill rate as i know)
then it takes much time to fill up that memory.but the branded one does that much quickly.so the less momory one performs better.isnt it?

Fill rate = clock speed x pixel pipelines. (it's not that simple with DirectX 10 cards though)

So it's the clock speed which is the variable. You know, nVidia 8800GTS (reference) is slightly faster than ASUS 8800GTS at same clock speeds. (500/800x2) It's not the fillrate that makes them faster. It's the other electronics such as using high quality components. Some people don't stick to the reference design, so their circuits might give better or worse performance than the reference design.

i wonder why dont nVidia make their own GPU boards as like ATI used to be few years ago.

Well, ATI never made boards. BUILT BY ATI boards were actually built by Sapphire. All the others are POWERED BY ATI.

but i thought ATI never revealed it to the public.and they did it like their own
i read it from an article on the web few years ago

what abt BFGtech.i've seen most VGA benchmarks use BFG tech boards

It's a reputed brand name. Usually they and also some other 2nd tier manufacturers such as XFX offer heavily overclocked cards, still with lower price than tier-1 brands. Very good value for money.

what about physics card.i know them little

Well, they don't necessarily improve the performance. Only the physics calculations will be relieved from the CPU. It let's you use more polygons. But the problem is, it's not the CPU that's bottlenecked most of the times. It's the video card. So a physics accelerator can't speed things up.
But future graphics cards will have physics processing capabilities. Then we won't need a physics accelerator card.
