gimmie 1024x768x32 + AA + Aniso + whathaveyou, and I'm quite pleased. Higher res doesn't seem to offer as much to me as somewhat lower plus effects. note that I'm not talking about 640x480 here, even with AA it looks like crap.

looking at this thread and this card puts me in mind of the comments we saw when the Voodoo 5500 and 6000 were released: It takes a separate power supply! It's fricken huge! How the tables have turned :) Still, if I could afford it I would probably get one. I got a 5500 after all, since...

Ok, I'll pull some stuff out of my butt too, since I'm not the first :) I remember reading quite a while back that the Hammer, unlike the Itanium, would really improve the speed of 32-bit apps, something like (forgive me if I'm really off here) there were 2 32-bit paths or something like...

what kind of machine are you doing this on? So far, it looks like the game is really cpu-limited at least up to 2.0 GHz. The only thing that separates the men from the boys (so to speak) in this benchmark is the addition of AF and FSAA.

Derek, while I respect the work you do, your efforts here are totally wasted. If you, as a professional developer, cannot act or respond above the level of a 12-year old child, then go back to your own forums. I like the fact that real, live driver developers post here. I like the fact...

I think this is pretty cool I got like 80FPS on an XP1600/GF3 in Mozilla 1.1. Why do I think this is important? It helps content penetration. Imagine if, like a Java VM, all you had to do to get your content running on any platform was to have a VM like this. What publisher or developer...

wow - that's a fairly reasonable op piece by DS! Who would have guessed? :) Seriously, while I can understand his frustration, dev teams tend please their biggest customers first. It sucks, but it's kindof a fact of life. We do it here where I work. The question we ask ourselves when requests...

MotoGP seems to be borked with this release...flashing polys and artifacts all over the screen, and no bumpmapping or anything.

geez, back on topic pls hardocp has a short review of the mobility 9000. They are apparently impressed by it's performance. http://hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzQ5

my first I had an Atari 65XE, plus a floppy drive. I loved that machine, I'd still have it if my brother hadn't dumped a coke in that thing and killed it. My first PC was a 486-DX2 66, bought specifically because: In college, the guy who's room was beside me had a 386 and X-Wing...I used...

review layout oh, and the review read very well in mozilla 1.1, btw. Everything showed up fine. A nice change!

midrange? If that's why ATI built the 9000 (compete with the GF4MX) then they gotta bring that price down even more I think. What is the midrange part from ATI? The 9500? (If such an animal exists)

cool The page fade/in/out thing is a nice gimmick, but the benchmark page is really nice. I like that a lot. The 9000 looks like it gets it's behind handed to it by the 4200 in most cases, though. Is the ~$30 difference worth it?

excuses The opinion that users who don't know what kind of card that their computer has are somehow "stupid" is kind of arrogant. Most people don't care at _all_ what video card their computer has until a game they want to play won't run at all. Case in point: a co-worker of mine has been...

faa We can all talk about raw speed as much as we like, but keep in mind a few things - Matrox specifically said that this card would not be a framerate champion in today's games. I think some of you aren't really _looking_ at those AA scores. note that even at 1024x768x32x16FAA, that...
