Apple NV40?

by Anand Lal Shimpi on March 24, 2004 1:02 AM EST


I met with NVIDIA today and during our extensive discussion about NV40 I asked if we'd ever see it on Macs, NVIDIA's response? They'd be more than willing to build it, Apple has to request it though.

The retail add-in market for Mac upgrade cards is too small to get involved in, but if Apple asks for it then NVIDIA will plop NV40 on some AGP 8X cards with Mac-compliant firmware and send 'em Apple's way.

Since Apple has historically only gone with one manufacturer for their high-end cards Mac users will most likely have to wait until both ATI and NVIDIA have released their next-gen parts before Apple decides which one they will go with.

Just thought I'd chime in with that for the Mac readers out there.
