Nvidia’s Badaboom converter sells for $30

[brugola.x]

Cuda is not cheap

Nvidia is ready with its first Cuda technology-based kid. The product is called Badaboom and it is a simple to use media converter that will unfortunately sell for $30 a copy.

There will be a trial version available, but if you want to play with it, you will have to pay up and this means even the people who just spent €400+ for its Geforce GTX 280 card.

Badaboom can convert high-quality H.264 and two-channel stereo audio and convert it fast for iPod / iPhone, Sony PSP and many more. Badaboom uses GPU to do the format conversion and we are eager to give it a try and see how much faster they can do it compared to a traditional dual or quad-core CPU.

Nvidia also offers a 30-day trial version and you will have to Google to find it, but it is out there as an 8 MB download.

We can only hope that Badaboom is much faster than a traditional quad-core, as this is the whole point.

Qui ho fatto la recensione di questo software.

Zotac 9800GT AMP! - 9800GTX+ AMP! : 3. Badaboom Media Converter | Recensioni -X- NextHardware

non sono pero' d'accordo con quanto scritto da fudzilla, il prezzo non e' cosi' alto per le funzionalita' offerte, probabilmente verra' in futuro incluso in bundle con qualche scheda video, ma il prezzo e' congruo con le funzionalita' offerte.
