Although both AMD and Nvidia talked about new graphics processors during the year, there is worrying silence about the Southern Islands and Geforce Kepler respectively.

Anyone who has tried the first beta version of Battlefield 3 has probably discovered that powerful components are required to reach playable frame rates, at least at higher quality settings.

It is Matt Skynner, department manager at AMD’s graphics division, who poses in front of the camera with no less than a 28 nanometer graphics processor in his hand. At the Fusion 2011 conference, most of it is about upcoming processors with integrated graphics, but in this case it is a separate graphics processor for…
Nvidia begins the autumn gaming season with 3D Vision 2 and as usual it’s mostly about games in three dimensions.
