Template talk:Nvidia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So...why was this changed? The existing form was fine. Bourgeoisdude 17:15, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, I thought this allowed for better "link density". All the redundant "GeForces", "Rivas", and "nForces" were a bit annoying I thought, and wasted tons of space. This format lets you click on any GeForce you want without looking at it spread over 2 lines. I don't really see a readability or "clickability" issue. The blue link text makes it readable, IMO.

If you disagree, maybe the font size could be upped? Or perhaps instead of GeForce 256, 1, 2, 3, 4, FX, 6, etc go with a list like NV10, NV15, NV20, NV25, NV30, NV40, G70, G80. That is probably less understandable though, but more readable perhaps.

I revised it to 110% font size. --Swaaye 18:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

edit -- Check this out. Similar to what I did, but maybe more to your liking? Template:History of Windows

Because NVIDIA has no announcements and heck there aren't even enough rumors to even justify putting in the GeForce 9 yet, I'm taking it out of this template for now, only because it is potentially misleading people into thinking there actually is or soon to be a new geforce product, but only one web article even mentions a rumor about it and admits they don't know. I think the article can stay for now, and of course we will add the GeForce 9 back in the template when it nears release, but for now it's just way too early.

I propose we change the template to match other templates out there, such as Template:Intel processors.

Minor edit, here's a sample of what it may look like
