After a very slow start to their DirectX 11 capable line-up of graphics boards, NVIDIA have returned to form and are firing on all cylinders to bring their Fermi architecture to ever lower price points. Today sees the latest derivative of this architecture go mainstream, via the release of the GeForce GTX 450. Does it do enough to wrestle AMD's long-standing dominance of this section of the market? Check out the huge list of reviews below to find out.

Intel shows off cloud-based ray tracing for games
We all know that at this current point in time no single PC, whether it's using CPUs or GPUs, is really fast enough to handle real-time ray tracing with gaming in mind. To work around this problem, Intel have revealed a concept that they're currently working on within their labs in advance of the latest Intel Developer Forum which kicks off today - Cloud-based ray tracing.
Wolfenstein was shown with a real-time ray tracing engine in this case with only camera-based interaction; no real "gaming" was being done. It definitely was a visual improvement over what we had seen in the past but the real interesting part here for me was the server-based hardware running it.
Intel said the demonstration used a set of four servers, each with a "Knight's Ferry" card, a Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture product that was announced in May as the somewhat spiritual successor to the Larrabee project. I was told that each card consisted of 32 cores for a total of 128 of them at work on this particular project. Obviously that would be way too much processing horsepower to dedicate in a per-user environment but Intel is using the Knight's Ferry cards to simulate a future cloud resource.
You can find out a whole lot more over at PC Perspective.Intel said the demonstration used a set of four servers, each with a "Knight's Ferry" card, a Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture product that was announced in May as the somewhat spiritual successor to the Larrabee project. I was told that each card consisted of 32 cores for a total of 128 of them at work on this particular project. Obviously that would be way too much processing horsepower to dedicate in a per-user environment but Intel is using the Knight's Ferry cards to simulate a future cloud resource.
