Hercules and Gigabyte turning their back on the low yield nvidia chips??? ABOUT TIME the stuff was terrible for anything but frames per second anyway. Im tired of that company ripping off the uneducated consumer with poor DVD playback, poor 2D quality and poor color saturation compared to ATI.

Oh and those acclaimed nvidia drivers, yeah no problems with those 23.11s half the crowd is screaming that they are flops. i would know i have a GTS.

***i have no bias in cards, i could care less about brands or whatever i buy what is the best deal if this happens to be radeon which most will say is the case right now (about the price of ti200 and far superior) at least now theres good reason to throw mud in nvidia fanboys eyes.
its funny watching them squirm (because they got ripped off on a card that was exorbantly priced and doesnt even have 1.4 pixel shaders)!! if nv goes under like 3dfx they wont stay dedicated like 3dfx because their products werent revolutionary, the only thing noteworthy was the original geforce with FIXED TnL (arguably STILL useless esp. in DX8 games).***

To bad your still buying the same card with 2ns ram (at $500 a pop on every new card release) because its such a bandwidth hog with low quality.
3dfx made good products, nv makes good advertising. if you dont believe me, take a look at their slow mobo chipset that my kt266a SMIZZOKES!

BAHAHA fanboys! i should change my name to fanboy_tormentor, LOL.

"dude your getting a dell", is that kid trying to say he wants to stick his 'dell' in you?

They also lost Asus.
I dont have envy, I like my GTS. My next card will prob be either 8500 or whatevers after that.

I just get a kick out of how easy it is to make fanboys cry uncle and they nearly sob on forums.

problem is you have to actually find some "fanboys" that aren't fair-weather fans like me. I'm an nVidia "fanboy" today...I'll drop em in a heartbeat tomorrow though. As long as they produce the best I'll stick with em. I used to be a 3dfx fanboy back in the day. I've gone back and forth on intel and amd too. Currently AMD but I'll reevaluate that in a few months when it's time to throw down more cash.

I'm using a ti500 right now. I think the 8500's pretty cool if you use the extra features but I just want the raw rendering power the nVidia cards offer. It's all about that minimum framerate.

edit: hehe almost forgot...good ridance to guillemot/hercules. I had one of their cards back in the tnt2u days. Did you know if you have a bum card they make you wait 6-8 weeks to get a new one? No rma/replacement program? I would keep buying ati straight from the source if I were you.

Yay! Poor drivers for everyone! Dude, 23.11 is beta, meaning that there will be issues. Get it, Beta. Maybe ur brain is like that to.... Want me to name teh companies NV has? Also, not many peops buy Hercules cause they jack up prices.

I dunno but at some point in his topic I almost considered it a troll post...
The subject just yearns of Meltdown's copycat...
