Coding Horror‘s Jeff Atwood has previously talked at length on this site about the new anti-aliasing kid on the block, Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing, a post-process shader developed by NVIDIA that trumps traditional forms of AA, but at a fraction of the required GPU power. What if I were to tell you there’s something faster and better still and you could be using it in all your DX9 games, right now? More »
You’ve heard of flops, a.k.a floating point operations per second, before in video game circles. Who can forget the riveting moment in former Sony exec Ken Kutaragi’s 2005 E3 PS3 presentation when he talked about how many gigaflops the system’s processors would be capable of?

When Nvidia was in the Kotaku offices the other day showing off, well, something we can’t quite talk about yet, they noticed we didn’t have a dedicated gaming PC. (All of Kotaku‘s gaming rigs are in the homes of our writers, including mine.) So they had Falcon Northwest cook up a nice little rig — Intel i7 2600K (overclocked), 4GB RAM and a couple of GTX580 cards with a 1.5GB of onboard RAM in SLI. More »
