ATI VS Nvidia:

AMD overtook Nvidia during the second quarter to become the top discrete graphics card vendor, according to market research firm Mercury Research.

AMD, which offers graphics cards under the ATI brand, held a 51.1 percent market share of all discrete graphics cards shipped during the second quarter, compared to Nvidia’s 48.8 percent market share, Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research, said on Thursday.

That is a big jump for AMD, which as recently as the first quarter held a 42.1 percent market share compared to Nvidia’s 57.8 percent share. AMD held a 40.6 percent share during the second quarter last year, compared to Nvidia’s 59.2 percent share.

McCarron didn’t provide specific GPU shipment numbers, but said market conditions worked in AMD’s favour. AMD released budget graphics cards with the latest DirectX 11 technology at the end of the first quarter, around the same time Nvidia introduced its first high-end DirectX 11 graphics card. That gave AMD a price advantage, which helped the company sell more graphics cards than Nvidia.

The low-end budget cards shifted the market in AMD’s favor. By comparison, high-end cards have little impact, McCarron said. AMD last year came out with its first high-end DirectX 11 cards, but that didn’t cause a market shift, he said.

AMD also had a good quarter selling mobile CPUs, which translated to higher mobile GPU sales, McCarron said. AMD has been effective in packaging CPUs and GPU into systems as part of laptop and desktop platforms. By comparison, Nvidia failed to take advantage of growing mobile GPU volumes because it lagged in chipset development.

Nvidia continues to have troubles as consumers shift to lower-priced GPUs and integrated graphics. The company on Wednesday lowered its revenue expectations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to between $800 million and $820 million, compared to earlier expectations of between $950 million and $970 million. Nvidia blamed higher memory costs for the lower revenue expectations.

To compensate for the higher memory pricing while keeping prices low, PC makers usually have to use cheaper processors or pull out components like graphics cards, McCarron said. That affects companies like Nvidia, whose graphics card shipments suffer as a result.

The risk of higher memory pricing could also hit AMD, said analysts from FBR Capital Markets in a research report issued on Thursday. The PC cost-reduction efforts may affect the rates at which the company’s GPUs are installed in computers.

But things are looking bright for AMD, McCarron said. Apple this week dumped Nvidia, moving to AMD’s graphics offerings for the new line of iMac desktops announced on Tuesday. That is a significant design win for AMD, but it won’t make or break Nvidia, McCarron said.

“Apple represents a fairly meaningful volume in business,” McCarron said. “It’s not a make or break thing, but it’s a nice sweetener.”

The total number of graphics products shipped (including integrated and discrete graphics processors) totaled 125 million during the second quarter, an increase from the 120 million products that shipped during last year’s second quarter.

This server patch fixes the wwwdl based exploit that causes all players to disconnect from all patches (including ettv).

This bug normally causes all players to disconnect when the command is run by an attacker.
After the fix, it still shows up in the log, but only the attacker gets kicked.

The mighty Axis shore battery ‘Siegfried’ is harassing Allied shipping in the Mediterranean. The Axis must protect Siegfried from Allied attempts at sabotage.

Battery recharged classic map is on half way between the original Battery map and Battery Recharged map version.

Changes in “classic” version:

• added detailed voice announcer for the objectives
• allied command post spawn disabled
• back door is now dynamitable by allied and reconstructable by axis
• you have to destroy only 2 objectives:
• destroy radar station (next to bunker)
• destroy gun controls (same as in original map)
• removed objectives
• destroy power supply (at bottom of indoor railway slope)
• destroy gun platform
• Ramp direct to gun is removed
• added location file

Overview of the “classic” version:

• Added detailed voice announcer for the objectives
• Allied team can’t spawn at command post
• Back door is now dynamitable by allied and reconstructable by axis
• Added location file
• Moved Allied east MG nest further towards the sea to give it a better field of view.
• Added barbed wire to the beach barricade to try to prevent tj over the barricade.
• A message shown when an allied objective is accomplished, eg “1 out of 2″
• One additional primary objectives created for allies, making two in total:
• destroy radar station (next to bunker)
• destroy gun controls (same as in original map)
• Instead of Allied assault ramp the Axis can build barricade (satchel objective) to block the new slope on the beach
• New Axis-only door added at beach top leading directly to gun room, to allow Axis to better defend the the gun.
• New constructible (satchel objective) Axis-and-disguised-cov-op-only door added near “power supply room”, to slow allied access to it via gun room assault
• Allied East Spawn moved closer to the lighthouse
• Allied/Axis spawn are 15/20 secs
• More areas now permit landmines

The Strogg have at last located a source of the mineral steedium, which is required to power their large weaponry such as the fabled Big Gun. GDF have located and secured this mine along with a Big Gun. Strogg must activate this gun at once to take out nearby GDF defences. To do this they must break into the mine through an ice sheet on the surface, deploy a mining laser to access the steedium storage vault and finally take three crates of steedium to the Big Gun to activate and deploy it, obliterating the puny human food.

Inspired by the super soldier of RTCW.
