I wonder what the point of discrediting FutureMark03 really is if you have (as Nvidia says) a whole suite of DX9 capable cards ranging from $99 to $399 ready to go. Surely the more software you have to show them off, the better. The technology push is on, so why not join it lads (Nvidia)...

Noone's going to discount FutureMark03 just because Nvidia decides to "poo-poo" it. But we "must" pay attention to the game benchies that matter, ie the ones where Nvidia gets its way with developers. Perhaps they should spend more time on developing good products on time and less time...

What curse? You have a card for all intents and purposes that 1. Performs on a par with the market leader 9700pro (with pre-release drivers), 2. Is way ahead performance / feature-wise of their last product the Ti4600 and 3. is providing DX9 VS / PS 2.0+ technology on the desktop for...

Hmm I see perfect AF and AA all the time. When I turn my computer OFF. Here's a squabble over not much IMO.

From Tom's Hardware "Vertex Shaders and Pixel Shaders" ... "For DX8, we had two types of pixel shader, PS1.0 and PS1.1. However DX8.1 introduces PS1.2, PS1.3 and PS1.4. If this carries on for DX9 and DX10, we could end up supporting about ten different versions of pixel shaders, and each one...

Would be nice to have DX9 PS & VS 3.0 hardware available now wouldn't it. :) Looks like DX9 software is going to represent a whole lot of different things to a lot of platforms. I was kinda hoping to bite the DX9 magic bullet and get it over and done with. :D

Hi, Just a few observations I have... Eoin Leyden says "To be honest I know almost nothing about the 0.13 version of R300 so I don't know how the performance will come out. But I'll guess as follows … assume they can lift clock speed to 500MHz (same as NVIDIA) then they should...
