An introduction to NVIDIA and ATI

You can check it by going to their official **.

1. Advantages of ATI graphics card: more vivid colors, more delicate, more special effects supported (exclusive HDR + AA technology), more suitable for users with higher color requirements, high-end ATI graphics cards are also very suitable for game users to choose due to the many special effects supported, the disadvantage is that the driver of ATI graphics card is not as compatible as NVIDIA graphics card.

2. The advantages of NVIDIA graphics cards: good compatibility, fast speed, suitable for game users, the disadvantage is that the colors are not as glamorous and delicate as ATI graphics cards.

3. The world's major manufacturers of NVIDIA graphics cards (which can be bought in China): Litai, Asus, MSI, XFX (Xunjing), Yingla, Yingzhong, etc. The world's major manufacturers of ATI graphics cards:

Sapphire, Dilan Hengjin, ATI Original, HIS, Asus, MSI, Colorful graphics cards are the first brands in domestic graphics cards, and Foxconn graphics cards are expected to emerge and become one of the first-line graphics cards.

4. Whether it is ATI or NVIDIA graphics card, there is no problem with the motherboard compatibility of major mainstream chips, if there is, it is also very rare, but it should be noted that the motherboard of the SIS chip is recommended to use the NVIDIA graphics card.

Video card, graphics card, also known as graphics card, is one of the most basic configuration and most important accessories of a computer. As an important part of the computer host, the graphics card is a device for the computer to convert digital-to-analog signals, and undertakes the task of outputting and displaying graphics. The graphics card is connected to the motherboard of the computer, which converts the digital signal of the computer into an analog signal for the display of the display, and the graphics card still has image processing capabilities, which can assist the CPU to work and improve the overall running speed.

For people who are engaged in professional graphic design, graphics cards are very important. The leading manufacturers of graphics chips for civil and military graphics cards include AMD (Supermicro Semiconductor) and NVIDIA (Nvidia). Today's TOP500 computers all contain graphics card computing cores.

In scientific computing, graphics cards are referred to as display accelerator cards.

The founders of ATI and NVIDIA are Ho and Jensen Huang, respectively.

1. The origin of ATI: He Guoyuan, the founder and year of ATI was born in Guangdong Province, China, moved to Hong Kong after finishing primary school in the mainland, went to Taiwan Province after completing secondary school courses, returned to Hong Kong after studying electrical engineering at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, and worked in several IT companies including the National Semiconductor Corporation of the United States for a period of time. In 1984, He immigrated to Canada.

The following year, he co-founded Array Technology Industry (ATI) with two other Hong Kong immigrants, Benny Lau (Vice President of Product Development, retired) and Lee Lau (Vice President of Strategic Initiatives).

2. Origin of NVIDIA: Jensen Huang, born in Taiwan Province of China in 1963, left his hometown at an early age and moved to the United States with his parents and brother. Like countless enthusiastic young people, Huang is a seeker of the American dream.

As mentioned earlier, in 1992, as a vow, Huang resigned from his position as director of LSI Logic's core product division and founded NVIDIA in Curtis' apartment with two Sun engineers, Curtis Priem (now NVIDIA's chief technology officer) and Chris Malachowsky (now NVIDIA's vice president of hardware engineering).

3.-for-tat confrontation with the previous war.

In the mid-to-late 90s of the 20th century, the graphics card market was still in a situation of chaos. At that time, people's requirements for graphic display were only limited to emphasizing the color, resolution and soft decompression performance of the display chip (in other words, they were all 2D requirements), because the technical threshold was low, and there were many large and small graphics card manufacturers for a while.

But people's demand is endless, just to watch VCD, play 2D games obviously can no longer cater to the user's appetite, play 3D games as slow as a snail game speed and angular to the miserable game characters are all the catalyst for the launch of a new generation of display chips. At the end of 1995, 3DFX, which had only been established for more than one year, launched the epoch-making first true 3D accelerator card - VOODOO Graphics. I have to introduce voodoo, a legendary graphics card, because its emergence has brought a disruptive impact to the otherwise uneventful graphics display market.
