They already payed homage once to their acquisition of 3dfx with the "FX" moniker of the 5-series... You see how well that worked out.

Although, you might be onto something with "the hulk of video cards(nvidia SMASH!! grr!!)" :)

I want Ruby etched on my Case window.

Because she's a damn cool character, and for a pile of polygons, she's pretty hot.

Never seen the nVidia character, though >.>

Wether a virgin geek, or like myself, having scored more than Micheal Jordan :p We all have an opinion on Graphics babes no?

Ruby- She likes it rough and no holds barred :evil:

Nalu- Fish is a tasty dish :D

Dawn&Dusk- A tag team twin combo HH wouldn't pass up.

Winnar=nV Hotties. More of them and more variety.

Red&Green are both Christmas colors, hence they cancel each other out.

Winnar= Tie

G4MX IGP in dual channel is actually nearly twice as fast as the crappy 64bit add-in cards. The add-in board could be as much as 60% of what the faster IGP that included a free attached nF2 MB cost!

Winnar= ATI, because that just blew goats for a nickle a herd.

Ultimate winnar= nV, just because I have a shirt with Dawn&Dusk on the back :p Otherwise it would be a tie ;)

Cost a bit, but yeah, should be very doable. I used to make my own in graphics class in HS, back-in-a-day.

There's a local place that does it, but they're not the best quality which is a bummer. Going to have to play with google to get some sort of idea, I expect.

Boy are you easy to please. Why don't you just have the graphic silk screened on a tshirt, probably cost you $20-$30 and you wouldn't have to kill anyone?

I have the misfortune of being in the UK :D

Sod all any places that do it around here. Going to do some searching tomorrow though, prison doesn't seem like a fair trade for a t-shirt.

even easier . . . buy the iron-on transfer inket paper for T-shirts; use your own printer and make your own Ruby "iron-on" from D/L'ed wallpaper available from ATI or fan-art.

For that $30 you could do at least a dozen t-shirts.

2. Ruby. Ruby could take on Dawn, Timbury Entonin Mudgett and Nalu with one hand down her skin tight RED pants...:shocked:

3. The GF4 MX. Millions of people around the world have suffered at the hands of this achingly slow and wildly misleadingly named piece of grahics hardware. We shall not forgot this :|


I hope you've all seen the error of your ways (even you Rollo), all responses are to be laid out in a similar fashion to my post, and refreshingly 'spirited' and enthusisatic discourse is encouraged :D


I had an MX420.

I still have one at work... PNY... plays UT2K4 alright! :p

Is that all you can say? let me show you why Nvidia pwns Ati

1)5800U. Not only is this card expensive and slower than its competition, Nvidia decided to add a more value features on the 5800U that satifised many customers and gave them the performance crown. The leafblower(recommned for dustblowing) feature was incorpated to this card as many can rejoice that no one as to buy a leaf blower nor sweep leaves anymore unlike ATi cards that doesnt do anything to help out your daily living nor competes well against the 5800Us supreme leaf blowing power benchmarks.

2)Digital Vibrance. Unlike the "inferior" Ati, NV has a special feature called digital vibrance, where your monitor can freely become your own vibrator. I mean how can you buy Ati cards when they dont come with a free vibrator? I mean you ATi folks are missing the digital experience.

3)X1800XT. Its just not powerful enough to beat the 5800U in the leaf blowing power benchmark, and this clearly proves that Atis latest gen cannot beat NVs 2 generation behind card.

Red has been a man's color since the English marched their redcoats to the far corners of the world.

Oh, and who doesn't think Kratos is badass:evil:
