Nvidia to kill THe Geforce FX???

[BAMAVOO]

Give me first place or give me DEATH 😀

 

[iwearnosox]

Yeah, they're all abuzz about it in the video forum...

 

[Zugzwang152]

hardOCP had the geforcefx non-ultra retailing at $300...but the bad part is radeon 9700's go for $200-250 now...and the ultra had only 5-10% on the 9700...with the lower clock and memory speeds, performance is still owned by ATi

I guess they are going the AMD route of, "Wait till you see what we have coming out next!!!"

Nvidia canceling GeForce FX.They cancel manufacturing GeForce FX chip at TMSC. Only 100.000 chips was made.
All chips will be sell out until the end of May.So probably it won´t be possible to buy GeForce FX everywhere in the world.

Now Nvidia is focusing to NV31 NV34 and NV35. NV31 will be launched at Cebit and NV34 and NV35 probably in June.Nvidia doesn´t want to let ATi take over lead, so they are focusing at NV35.

Dan

grammar anyone? 😀

ATI will buy up NVIDIA with our underinflated Canadian dollars. 😛. oh canada!

 

[BAMAVOO]

Nvidia don't want Ati take over lead.. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀


TOO DAMN LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[iwearnosox]

All your NV30 are belong to us.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Why would they kill it? Whether it performs better than the ATI or not, people will still buy it.

 

[iwearnosox]

Because it sounds like a lear jet taking off, occupies two slots, costs more than 350 whoppers and is hotter than Bahgdad the day after...

 

[XCLAN]

yeah it will still sell like a mofo.......But it is Bad that it doesnt kill the 9700

Word to the P4 fan boy's. AMD is still cheaper Price/Proformance. Nvidia is not.

You can get a GeForce 4 Ti4200 for under $125 now, which is still fast enough to run any existing game on the market. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Check this article out

It talks a little about the whole Geforce FX predicament. Anyways, if a 500mhz chip is beat out by a 375mhz chip you know that it wasn't designed to be efficient.

I know, those damn money grubbing Intel people. The Pentium 4 ghz 3.06 ($626) is such a ripoff. I mean, they had the balls to charge $3 over Athlon 3000+($623).

Already forgotten the "launch" of the 2800+ with the entire run pre-allocated and no more to be made? Seems like a good comparison to the FX launch (or "takeoff" 😉 ).

Just like AMD, nVidia will eventually have real product launches for the mass market.

I would rather have a R9500, which I can unlock to a R9700.

ATi 0wnz the low price market iwth the R9500, and p0wnz the high end market with 9700 pro.

xp2000+ or P4 2.0........

xp = 70
p4 = 150..... worth it? my wifes xp that cost me 46$ betas the crud out of my 1.8 p4 ... intill i start overclocking

Oc the Xp as well and it'll still beat the crud out of the p4. 😀

Anyway, I thought Nvidia was just scrapping plans for the Fx Ultra?? Now they're cancelling everything altogether?? 😀

No, it's supposedly a 100,000 chip limited run then no more, just like the one-batch XP 2800+ was.

I guess they really need a new architecture instead of just boosting clock speeds and adding features on top of an already old core.

Hope nobody here owns Nvidia stock 🙂

It sounds like Nvidia is still going to make the mainstream/low-cost cards based off the NV-30, which is where most of the business is anyways. (or am I reading this bit wrong?)

NV-31 GeForce FX MX and NV-34 GeForce FX Go, both NV-30 based boards, will still appear and will attempt to do battle with ATI's mainstream offerings while NV-35 will be the flagship chip which will fight for the throne.

You'd think they would have learned that from their competition with 3dfx....
