That was an intersting article.. Had nothing to do with star wars

As I sit up in my bed looking at all the stars, I begin to wonder... WHERE THE HECK IS MY ROOF!?

 

[priyajeet]

yeah, i know it had nothing to do with star wars, but people tend to look at a popular topic rather than a awkeard one.

ROFL, I like the bit where they say

That was followed by ATI here in Cyprus describing its competitor as cowardly.

HAHAH!

Indeed it is reminiscent of the presidential race.

LMAO, they're big babies.

I wonder what cards the Death Star used. They had some really shitty monochrome graphics on their monitors.

Well it's interesting that that whole Issue amount to nV FUD yet again. The Inq's got a little more on their trouble with truth;

<A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18679" target="_new">http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18679</A>

No one posted the original nV slides which are really just laughable, 'the boy who cried D3'. The FX5200 and 5500, D3 makes them buyable, not as overall cards it doesn't. Here they are from ComputerBase, I didn't post them originally because they were just SO PR-ladden;

<A HREF="http://www.computerbase.de/news/hardware/grafikkarten/2004/september/dont_get_fooled_by_ati/" target="_new">http://www.computerbase.de/news/hardware/grafikkarten/2004/september/dont_get_fooled_by_ati/</A>

So be sure to go out an buy the FX series for the 30-40hours of D3 gaming you have this year, and for the rest of the games, ummmm, ahhhh, wellll, oohhhh look at the pretty demos.

It does make one wonder why nV is os desperate to use these tactics when they have such strong products this time around. Especially since SIG specifically says the results and aspects of their test cannot be used for marketing purposes.

Ridiculous!

As for StarWars, great movies, SUCKY DVDs. I prefer my original Laser Discs, no new additional crap.

That is so so very BAD. Heres the marketing strategy Nvidia has adopted: lower the competitors name and sell your stuff.

I mean, if i were to compete against another, it would be by lifting myself up rather than bringing the other down.
I bet Carmack is fed up of Nvidia, using HIS game to market their cards - doom3 posted everywhere on Nvidia. Well <A HREF="http://www.pcisig.com/developers/compliance_program/quality_notice" target="_new">PCI SIG</A> have already apologized. But who knows who was the player there ?

I wonder how this other dude is gettin 90 FPS in D3 with an ATI, even when Nvidia cards are around that much with all the AA stuff turned on.

We finally received a new card at Bureau en Gros, meet the BFG geForce FX 5500 AGP!

I don't know about its performance, frankly I think it's the first time I heard of that model. Only nice thing about it, is the box because the card can be seen from the transparent wrapping in the middle of the front of the box!
