It may be April fools but we heard of this card along time ago . It may be April fools are it may have been the perfect day to put article out . One thing I do know none of the above posters read the article befor posting I very fast reader. I just finished

 

[OCGuy]

So wait, you are making fun of us for not reading the fake article before commenting on it?

*mind blown*

We new they were bring a card . Just because its April first doesn't mean it isn't true . I want a 3rd player . A player that Intel owns alot of stock in . as well as apple with 15% shares. Between Intel Apple the own almost 50% of company Now if intel would do the fab work it be a perfect storm .

S3 is re-entering the PC graphics market with the S3 Virge 2.0.

Should hit the shelves this fall, and will completely annihilate everything on the market.

I'm sure that you're correct.

Stop playing on my heart strings!


Seems like a lot of effort for an April fools joke.

 

[nitromullet]

I wonder what kind of card it really is...

Not too many cards of that size with the power connecters on the bottom anymore.

They put quite a bit of effort into an April Fools gag, I'll give em that.

 

[Mopetar]

I'm going to assume that it's a joke. The name is a bit of a giveaway.

You do realize how difficult it would be to animate things using that system. Being able to do fast searches on the data you need relies on the data being highly organized. If you start moving it around in order to animate it, it makes the search algorithms impossible in real time or means that you need new data for all of the different possible ways in which the object can move. Perhaps not insurmountable, but it's going to take up a lot of space.

It's something that would work well for static elements, but many games are becoming more dynamic and trying to move away from bland, lifeless levels.

I know this is an April Fool's joke but it really wouldn't be a bad thing if we had a 3rd player in the GPU market. AMD is still competing with nVidia to an extent but a 3rd party with comparable performance and slightly lower prices would be a great benefit to consumers.

I was being sarcastic, as was the poster whom I replied to.

Sorry, it's hard to tell in threads like these, as it seems as though the OP would be interested in buying a bridge I've got for sale.
