It's not very smart to limit the contest only for USA & Canada residents. There are very talented programmers around the world, and because of numbers, they are of a magnitudes more than those in US & C. And, they need the cash more badly. 


Not to be dishonest, I think this limitation can be of a tax reasons. No matter reasons, this is not good on the PR side of the things for NVIDIA.

I'd be afraid to have any surgery done by you Dr. Drashek.

After hour trying to copy GTX280 specs, i finally went too far & Invented GTX250, only to find out in next article its GTX260. Ok, So What after so much effort I even misquoted true name..

Well then I thinks if Nvidia knew what nvidia is doing, such mixed up spec intro wouldn't be. It seems mr. jens updates names & specs before designsamples fail, leaving photos of never released cards hither & thither.

If nvidia Owned its Own FAB, this wouldn't be constant update situation till one works. Worse think jens lost quite pile o' Cash that was unaffordable in buying entire PhysicsX line, especially since team apparently left whole mess in its first stage of developement from Oui say 1958 for Jens to figure Out.Hummm.Should listen more closely to:(PhysX) its scam since time began from leading commentoser.(AKA Same as Self).

Nvidia is strong, yet my pocketbook states, from rear defense location, its NOT Worth Risk. Make it Work First, Then Advertise it. Brain Transplants Available.

bash and insult i guess... since your soul is already bought by DAAMIT.
