A promise is a promise :) there you go!

Talk about putting all your cards on the table before the game has even begun! Jeez.

You might want to get some birth control pills cause a baby shower may be just around the corner.

 

Bah, you could at least give the name of the person you're quoting.

 

Jen-Hsun maybe. Imagine that.

 

Maybe the babies are hallucinogens.

 

Do you expect more of that nice NV magic driver pixie dust that we all love?

 

But that was the same reasoning used when people though NV30 would be so much better than R300, that NV30 would use 3dfx quality FSAA, etc, etc. Didn't pan out. I don't think we can make assumptions based on the past anymore. ATI's drivers used to be horrible too, and they always played second fiddle to NVIDIA.

Things change.

 

And, if you remember, there were lots of rumors at the time that nVidia was having some major process problems. Some even said that the NV30 was meant to be released (originally) around the Spring of that year.

Anyway, the NV3x doesn't change anything. One sample is not of statistical significance. And this time, we haven't been hearing any "process trouble" rumors. Additionally, nVidia doesn't yet appear to be pre-hyping the launch, which would seem to indicate that they thing it's a better product than the NV3x was.

 

I was trying to be funny. I guess I needed more of these to get my point across:

Yeah, just like the nV40 is slated to be "released" around the "Spring" of this year.... (LOTS of quoteys there, just to be annoying. )

 

More like, they don't want to say anything lest it all backfire like it did last time.

 

Funny to see you Chalnoth and your broken logic: you contradict yourself every time as you rape your own logic when its needed to line up for the next NV defense round... you're such a f@nboy, you really are...

EDIT: typo

 

But at least he's in good company...

 

You mean he got you as Sancho Panza?

 

too much... good... sig material... must resist... forty line sig...

 

... and ten times more still missing...

 

I request you quote exactly what you claim I contradicted.

ok i'm lazy and didn't want to read all 18pages but has anyone considered the boost in scores also to the fact that the new cards will be PCIXPress cards and the AGP versions will be the slower counterparts? I'm not boosting for ATI or Nvidia. I just want to see some good cards come out. While i have heard of no proof saying what the new slot will bring us other than way more bandwidth this could also be why scores are looking good if they are true. But in the end we will all know the real scores in a few months.

 

Nope

 

Chalnoth,

Must be the second or third time I read similar lines like that:

....from you and apparently you aren't tired of playing the old broken record over and over again.

a) Not only didn't NV manage (for whatever reasons) to release NV4x as expected prior to the end of 2003, but the next best release target at CeBIT 2004 couldn't be met either.

b) Pre-hype is exactly what backfired the last time in their face. No they don't have an exact idea what the competition has done and thus it's wiser to be more modest.

Albeit the internal paperwork and the presented numbers aren't what I call modest a bit, neither will they reflect with the highest possibility real time performance.

While you're at it painting another pretty picture, let's wait this one out until it's been tested and properly analyzed by independant sources. It does seem to have potential to be a very capable offering, but that merely on paper.
