  1. Great document about GPU history! I'm old enough to have actually bought a Voodoo graphics card with my own money as a new. I feel that the drivers of NVIDIA cards are still the most important part of the technology. It appears that AMD (ex ATI) hardware may actually have more computing power but drivers fail to surface it to the applications. In addition, OpenCL took too many years to create and NVIDIA proprietary CUDA took the market and many apps (including open source Blender 3D) have proper hardware support for CUDA only, even today. AMD is supposed to have something cooking for Blender 3D version 3.5 but the actual performance remains to be seen.
