Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of <insert stupidly humongous animal here>

Anna Nicole Smith?

That would be nice. Just as in OT, I bet someone will come asking for pics

This one kinda took me by surprise. I tried the game out (yahoo games on demand) w/ my ti4400 and must say I was disapointed with its performance. NVIDIA, give us better driver performance and lower prices !

OMG, this is too hilarious

3dfx is a virus

 

[Wingznut]

Ok, nVidia... Exactly WHICH DX9 BENCHMARK can I use?

"hey, it's the det50 "optimized" rendering of Lara Croft! "

Dont worry you can "reverse-engineer" their drivers with a 1/5 of Thunderbird

OMG so true so true

 

[PraetorianGuards]

Wow this is just getting too insane. Like somebody said, nVidia needs to concede this round and focus on NV40. Look to the future!

Just to throw a little oil on the fire, did anyone read the Inq's article about the P4-EE? Linky
There's a little tasty morsel of info buried in there...

Mr Burns had earlier shown a brief demo of Half-life2 running on a Prescott system sporting an implementation of PCI Express graphics. Prescott is the next development in the Pentium family and though Burns said its development remained on track he refused to be drawn on a launch date for the product. In the meantime we have the Pentium 4HT EE sitting atop the Pentium performance family tree. Burns said Intel had worked closely with "our partners at ATi" to deliver the PCI Express demo.

ATI's R400-series are the company's first PCI Express video card. If Intel is using an ATI PCI Express card then they, at the very least, have R400 A0 silicon, but probably better if they are using it for a press demo :Q :beer:

Doesn't Nvidia understand that all this deception is worse than having bad performance?? I mean so what the performance is lacking in DX9 applications, there still powerful cards otherwise. Instead of spending there time with all this deception they should focus on making the NV4.xx a great performer.

What happened there did they fire all there good engineers and hire ex-Enron and Worldcom executives

Puahahahaha... omg thats too good...


you got to feel sorry for Nvidia, and for US. IF they go down, no more 6 month vid card cycles!!!! no more super performing cards @ $150 !!!! i hope they can get back on their feet, but like the saying goes:

"what tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive"

Just a small reminder because some people seem not to know:
The R500 "is" the R400, which was cancelled early this year. There are many reasons to this, among which the fact that ATI didn't feel they could deliver the R400 in the required timeframe, which is Q1 2004 ( it seems the August 2003 timeframe was either BS, or that it had already been delayed a bit before getting cancelled. )
The R500, thus made by the same team which worked on the R400, might of course have more features than the original R400 design had, because, well, it'll only be launched in Q4 2004, best case scenario.
The R420, which is based on the R3xx design with, of course, many tweaks, is to be launched in H1 2004, probably Q1 in fact. The estimated tape-out date and the transistor count are unknown

NFI GPU: Rumor Watch
(they have also some stuff about the 9800XT (and what's very neet is, that they have a Reliability scale)

ATi issued this press release today:

ATI has designed, developed and validated in tests with Intel, the industry?s first visual processor using the brand-new PCI Express bus to accelerate the movement of information between the visual processor and the central processor.

My guess is that it's either a PCI Express-capable version of R360 or a very early version of R420. If the latter, ATi certainly on schedule for a Q1 2004 release.

Edit: R420 is suppose to be a highly-modified, .13mu version of the R3XX core. All I know about R500 is that the ArtX team (same team that developed R300) is working on it.

 

[Ionizer86]

Wow, getting creepy. This stuff would have been so hard to predict a few years a go. I remember the Geforce 2 GTS, Pro, and Ultra as solid cards in comparison to the Radeon DDR, Radeon 64MB etc, and then the GeForce 3 blew everything out of the water. It looked like ATi was faltering as an opponent, and that they'd be a monopoly or something then...

Who knew ATi would be back for more with the Radeon 8500 followed by greatly improved drivers, then the incredible Radeon 9700 Pro release? Wow, this is getting interesting

Any DX9 Benchmark which renders in DX8 for NVidia and DX9 for ATI of course you silly boy
