THA_monkey Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Isn't it just a name? Doesn't really matter to me . Anyway it is going to go the same way as the geforce fx (which is a BAD thing) Anyway, I have my mind set on a 9700 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha_Rainman Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 [quote]Anyway it is going to go the same way as the geforce fx [/quote] DooooD! There is no evidence that proves that yet. Secondly, what they have revealed about it so far is quite [i]promising[/i] 256bit memory bus + no need for crazy cooling + cheaper DDR1 memory at 2.0ns Those are precisely the biggest faults of the current FX - narrow memory bus (128) + noisy cooling + expensive memory. It will be clocked at lower raw speeds than this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha_rooster Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 ok seems like were getting on the nVidia vs. Ati (or AMD vs. Intel for that matter) Here's the best advice i can give you 1. Do not really on specs as it is realworld performance that matters, specs can give an indication of what the performance may be but will not neccesarily determine it. 2. Do not be a fanboy (ok must admit i have been a AMDfanboy but who hasen't?) keep on looking at other brands constantly so that you don't waste money on something. tha_rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I agree with tha_rooster completely. Its a pity that most companies nowadays do so many 'paper launches' of their products. [ I think nv has been the worst offender lately!] Just recently they supposedly announced the specs of the NV40 - a chip that will be out in over a year! I don't have much faith in specs for a card that is so far away. What I'm getting at here is the problems with spec releases opposed to actual products. Remember the GeForce4 release? Nobody knew what it would be... peeps only speculated! Yea... I too admit I'm an nVidiot [thats what they call 'em at Futuremark. And the Ati ones are fan[b]ATi[/b]cs ] But I'm not too much of an nvidiot to buy a NV30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I believe the rooster has been affected by a well known virus.... Not SARS, its TOK but yea he is so true when he makes that statement..... maybe this might change you guys mind on what 'real world performance' has to say....... [url="http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030512/geforce_fx_5900-11.html"]DOOM 3 and beyond[/url] these might satisfy you people...... and as the Jew said nVidia sounds more nice on the tounge than ATi Although after yesterday with the French and the Masta, the pronunciation of ATi of the french is COOL Edited May 22, 2003 by NEO_2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
