HL July Interview Questions

[onebxr]

Why doesnt EVGA give HL some review samples? Is there a process that you have to go through, or do you not care if anyone reviews your product?

Lets go boys and girls, get busy on some good questions!!!!

[robodude666]

Hmmm.... Heres a random question that just came to mind after looking at more HIS and sapphire Computex articles...

Is eVGA planning on releasing a 8x00 card with dual GPUs on a single card like companies are doing for ATI GPUs?

Here is a question similar to one of blake's

Is eVGA working on any new heatsink designs?

[gvblake22]

Does nVidia ever contact the product development team or the head engineers at eVGA to discuss next-gen product design or is it strictly in the hands of nVidia and you have to take what they give you?

To rephrase the same question...
Is there any cooperation between 3rd party card manufacturers (eVGA) and the GPU manufacturer (nVidia) concerning any part of the product development?

[Elysium]

Does EVGA plan on merging or buying out any other companies in the near future?

[Quakindude]

Does EVGA have any factory water-cooled solutions in the 8xxx production forecast?

CPU's are getting die shrinks with more transistors and we typically expect a lower power requirement. This isn't the case for GPU's. While we do see more transistors per GPU coming out and smaller manufacturing processes, we are also seeing higher power requirements. What does EVGA predict the future power requirements of their products to be and what can we reasonably expect the upper limit to top out at?

Nvidia has pushed the single GPU frame buffer to 768Mb on their high end GPU's. In just the last five years, we've seen memory triple in size. The monitors available to the typical Mid-Range purchaser can push the limits of even these massive allocations. Where does EVGA see the future memory requirements going and what do you expect us to be gaming on monitor wise in five years?

[Dr. V]

Does eVGA see itself pushing the envelope even further than they have before? For example, the 8x00 cards have limitations, but it seems even stock overclocking isn't doing much as it stands. What does eVGA plan to do about this? Maybe an outstanding cooling solution (high end air or water) and some really steep overclocks?

XFX's "XXX" line of cards have been the most pushed cards on the market. Their speeds are topping everything else, and people are definitely willing to pay for it. Can eVGA bounce back and surpass XFX?

(^that question is very closely related to the first one^)

Does it seem practical for eVGA to release its own technology for enhancements to current DX9 games when using a DX10 card? For example, the games you play now on a DX10 card could technically look so much better...could their be alterations? Patches? Anything?

(^this is closely related to game developers, too^)

Happy Interviewing!
