Are you ready

[H!GHGuY]

the shooting part may be tellng us there's on-chip "ray-tracing"???

ah and for the name??

GeForce 5 FX seems very likely...:
GeForce (DDR)
GeForce 2 GTS - PRO - Ultra
==> completely new architecture/breakthrough
GeForce 3 TI - MX
GeForce 4 TI - MX
==> new architecture?? big breakthrough??
GeForce 5 FX??

 

[Xmas]

I haven't seen a GF3MX yet, but a GF2Ti...

 

[BoddoZerg]

But...
There are, as far as I can see, two different kinds of chips attacking me.

One is grey and fires laser beams, one is marked with an nVidia logo and does less harm..
Could this be a hint that they use an external "TTL" chip in addition to the main VPU?

Just wondering...

Clearly, the chips with laser beams are not Nvidia. Perhaps this is a hint at the capabilities of the R400, and nVidia's plans to fly a spaceship and shoot at ATi? Obviously, the NV30s cannot compete with the grey chips, because they don't have lasers at all!

 

[Geeforcer]

But maybe that's just Nvidia's way of saying "Our chips are so good that even without lasers they are more then a match for even for the armed competitor's chips"

To validate this claim, someone will have to bench NV30 in TrenchflyMart with "Lasers" set to 0 against R300 with "Lasers" set to 2x.

I don't see why people are taking this so seriously. Let Nvidia have a little fun with a launch . It's far more fun than their "We will change the world " or their release of the Geforce3 one . It's different for them....

 

[Maverick]

Then let us have a little fun taking the mickey out of their launch!

Ben - who is taking what seriously here?

This thread is getting much too large. õ¿õ

 

[Teasy]

After wading through Joe DeFuria posts from way back, the only thing I can state with authority about which way he swings is that he really seems to want to cut Teasys dick off.

Many people want my dick , but not usually to take with them of course

On a serious note:

Joe, are you getting PM's? Because I've sent quite a few to you and you haven't replied.

 

[nAo]

Nah, Kyro drivers are quite solid AFAICS.

Unfurtunately this is not the case.

Heh, I just edited my comment out because I just knew this would get me into a off topic argument. Seems I edited too late.

Well with my Kyro II, the last time I used it (a couple of months ago) I could play any game or app (emulators ect) I tried and they all played well. What's the problem your having with it?

The moment I first heard this phrase in Bab5 I knew people would remember it

You can guess I'm ready now!

That's why I've edited the quote to "various board members wrote" - feels good not to be the only geek on earth.

BTW - I'm just about the leave my PC to get the DVD set for the (w)geekend.
Hey that's good: Happy geekend everybody!

 

[Randell]

goddamnit it was always on at a ridiculous time in the UK and I never saw it to its conclusion.

Never did found out about how it all wound it in B5.

They all died, Dave........ *

Well, at least on Red Dwarf! Oh, and Blakes 7, too......
