Gaming and performance PC icon Johnathan Wendel touts ioXtreme's ability to take PC performance to a new level
LOS ANGELES June 2, 2009 Johnathan Fatal1ty Wendel, the worlds best known PC gamer, and Fusion-io join up at the Fatal1ty E3 booth to launch the ioXtreme, a solid state storage device for high-performance PCs and workstations using 64 bit operating systems. The ioXtreme eliminates application latency, delivering the kind of storage performance once limited to the worlds fastest supercomputers.
Drawing from Fusion-ios industry-leading solid-state technologies, the ioXtreme is a PCI Express card that sits on the system bus filling the performance gap between RAM and disk drives. It adds 80 GB of non-volatile capacity, exponentially accelerating input and output, including file access, and improving application performance dramatically.
"The ioXtreme supercharges high-end PCs and workstations. I predict this technology will fundamentally change the way software is designed, allowing developers to create a new class of applications that seamlessly handle massive amounts of data," Fatal1ty said. Imagine playing the most intense game, working on complex 3-D graphics, manipulating massive files, ripping multiple DVDs and installing a new application -- all simultaneously. The technology is crazy and works at the speed I need.
Johnathans experience with high-end computing has given him a unique insight into the disruption our core technology brings to all levels of computing, said Steve Wozniak, chief scientist of Fusion-io. We look forward to working with an incredible young talent like him. The ioXtreme is a good example of how combining the wisdom of veterans, such as myself, with next generation expertise such as Johnathans, will take Fusion-ios performance revolution into the future.
Scheduled for release in July at a list price of $895, the ioXteme has been architected for prosumers and extreme PC users and is specifically designed for easy upgrades. Through future software releases, the ioXtreme will be able do more far more than application acceleration, including features like boot and transparent data migration. Fusion-io and Fatal1ty will be demonstrating the ioXtreme during E3 in booth #2922 South Hall. For more information about Fusion-io and the ioXtreme, For more information go to the ioXtreme site.

edit: I quoted the wrong post originally.
Also, can anybody get the SUPCOM2 trailer I've read about? I cannot find it.
Hmm, so the PC version also has two additional filtering effects which the consoles lack. Impressive.brain_stew said:The PC version of Street Fighter IV is looking on course:

Apparently a GTX 280 will get you over 100fps at 1680x1050 with 4xaa and settings beyond the console version.
Plenty of options to customise the graphics as well to get it running nicely on laptops and the like. I'm loving Capcom's PC ports this gen.

I guess we'll be kicked out of the screenshot wars threads again.

Zzoram said:It's my understanding that Bioware didn't do the PC port of Mass Effect 1, and that it's been poorly supported. There is a patch that was announced in January that still isn't here, with no information about what it fixes. I'm afraid for the PC version.

beermonkey@tehbias said:I might get Splinter Cell for PC if it doesn't have co-op. I played through the Chaos Theory co-op campaign with real Xbox-gamer friends online and it was fantastic (I actually have the PC version as well for single-player on the HTPC). Don't know if I'd be able to wait for a later release, though.
Mass Effect 2, I'll probably get for PC even though they fixed all the tech issues (texture pop, framerate) with the 360 version. Good to see it get day-and-date release.

brain_stew said:Um yeah, I'll believe that when I see it, Bioware don't exactly have good form in this area.
It does at times bother me that MS doesn't just release every Xbox game on the PC. I'll admit to that. Stagger the release to get your 360 sales, fine, but to pass up on hundreds of thousands of extra sales is madness to me.Quasar said:I imagine he's talking about the MS refusal to support the platform with actual games as it reduces their XBL moneys. Its sadly amusing that MS won't put out any of games out on their own platform (Windows).
beermonkey@tehbias said:That's what the Bombcast and others who have actually played the game at E3 have said. That the texture pop and framerate issues are gone.

brain_stew said:The average videogame journalist is just about the last person I'd go to for opinions on the technical state of a game. Judging the entire thing of a small confined demo is a bit of a stretch as well.
Again, I'll believe it when I see it.

Bioware has never made two games in the same console with the same engine. The 360 version looks really solid this time, but I will still buy the PC version just because I already started playing this series on PC.brain_stew said:Um yeah, I'll believe that when I see it, Bioware don't exactly have good form in this area.

Really glad they aren't going to water down the game nearly as much as was hinted at before.Wes said:

Oh man, can't wait to hear more. Seems like they've really ironed out a lot of the tech issues that plagued the first one.Wes said:

dark10x said:The one trend I hope changes is the late release of PC titles. There have been a ridiculous number of games released in the past couple of years that I would have preferred to play on the PC, but the release dates are always behind the consoles. I'm getting sick of this.
I really want same day and date releases on the PC as consoles. I don't think that's too much to ask. Furthermore, in some cases, the waiting is met with a poor release. If I had waited to play GTAIV, for instance, I would have been quite disappointed as a result of the technical problems with the game.Zzoram said:6 months I'm ok with. 3 Years as with Halo, not so much.

Pretty sure developers/publishers have said outright that that is why they release later on the PC. Its a sad truth.beermonkey@tehbias said:My conspiracy theory is that late PC release dates are designed to reduce overall piracy; that publishers fear that some people who may buy the console game will go with a pirated PC version instead if it is available on day one. Just speculating, I'm probably wrong.
I too would like to see everything ship day-and-date. I might buy the PC version of Splinter Cell: Conviction if it's available on day one, but if it isn't, forget about it.
I'm sure that's it, actually. I've always thought that was the case and it does make sense. It's just disappointing.beermonkey@tehbias said:My conspiracy theory is that late PC release dates are designed to reduce overall piracy; that publishers fear that some people who may buy the console game will go with a pirated PC version instead if it is available on day one.

To my knowledge, no it wasn't.Cat in the Hat said:Was Risen at the show?
