1. My hand is forced, here's my G200 pre-NDA photos:

G200 top secret photo

GTS version

:beer:



2. Yes, I get free hardware,software, and confidential information from NVIDIA as a member of their Focus Group.


BTW- to answer your question:
IMO this information is false, but I don't know anything about the G200 so I'm not going to say it's beyond the realm of possibility.

Clearly the GTS is the way to go with the superior cooling solution

It was liquid cooled till I popped the top.....now it's air cooled.

 

[taltamir]

was the liquid beer?

I wonder if everyone got your joke nRollo (IE, these are obviously not photos of the G200, but of a random ancient card). I loved how the second one was too blurry to read the name on the parts... and the first one had parts labeled "intel" and "AMD"...

Sweet, wood you consider selling that G200 to me? I'm getting a little board with my current card as it can't even handle splinter cell with max settings. Now I think I'll just lumber outta here before the joke police show up. Plank you very much.

I don't think NVIDIA wood mind that people saw it, but our partnership might split if it fell into your hands pre-NDA.

Cross that out...New title:

Why does everyone besides apoppin think what Tulip did was a good thing? Leaking information is going to get you fired no matter what company you work for, if they find out who you are, and should not be condoned.

Depends who you work for and what info you are leaking.

 

[taltamir]

You are right... with some organizations it wouldn't get you fire, it will get you a firing squad, or at least prison time. Not to mention you are betraying your employer's trust in you, as well as possibly harming their business (and your own livelihood through that)

 

[ronnn]

Nope we have people right on this site that are paid to release info about their company or produce fear of another company. Spin is king.

and you might get the axe

getting cut-off would be severe, woodn't you agree ... you'd have to pack your trunk and leaf in shame

 

[taltamir]

and just when they were about to upgrade him from triple SLI 8800GTX to triple 9800GTX... the 8800GTX cost what... 2400$ for the cards alone?

 

[Tempered81]

8800gtx's can be had for 299 now. Check hotdeals.

 

[taltamir]

yea. But 4 monthes ago it was 800$ each.
Actually I meant to say ultra not GTX.. it was 800 per evga black pearl ultra.

 

[Tempered81]

yah black pearl ultras are definitely top o' the line!

 

[imported_JohnJohn]

So sad those are not the real Gt200. If they can play quake 3 i'll buy them for $5.
