nvidia und EA kooperieren

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=8861

NVIDIA IS CARRYING an announcement on its site that the company has been cuddling up to Electronic Arts. The gist of it is that the two firms have struck an agreement of mutual interest. EA developers will be getting Nvidia cards and Nvidia will be getting plenty of exclusives.
Nvidia seems to have done a great job turning on the charm. The deal gives the graphics company two big advantages. First it gets an exclusive on all EA games when it comes to bundles. So you're only going to see future EA games being bundled with Nvidia based graphics cards. Second, EA has promised to make its games work better with Nvidia graphics chips.

In the case of working better with Nvidia graphics chips, the release is rather scant on detail. It doesn't say whether, for instance, the games will only work better on Nvidia Geforce FX chips using DirectX 9 or whether the improvements will work on everyone else's chips too.

It's a good guess though that with EA developers all getting a shiny new Geforce FX that a certain good consistency is likely to be achieved on that chip. ATI should probably be worried.

Wenn die Graka's ned schnell genug für die Spiele sind, wern die Spiele für diese Graka eben passend gemacht

@pimp:

du hast ja recht, aber hier geht's um EA. die beherrschen den pc-spielemarkt ja schon fast.

Hmmm. Hab vor kurzem ein ähnliches Gerücht von einer Kooperation zwischen Nvidia und Valve gehört. Dachte es ist ein Fake. Aber jetzt....
