Creative’s to support NVIDIA’s GeForce 256 landed today, giving players another thing to circle on the calendar.

Creative Technology is behind the announcement. Creative Technology announced it plans to support NVIDIA’s GeForce 256 technology in products this fall.

Leveraging its strengths in both the retail and OEM channels, Creative will be the leading supplier for boards based on the GeForce 256 chipset. The GeForce 256 is an innovative new graphics processor that moves the entire 3D rendering pipeline to the graphics card, creating a whole new category: the Graphics Processing Unit, or GPU.

PC hardware is moving stupid fast right now, and this is one more part of that arms race.
