Are you ready

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??

 

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

 

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!

 

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....

 

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

 

Ben - who is taking what seriously here?

 

If you go to Z'ha'dum you will die

This thread is getting much too large. õ¿õ

 

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.

 

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

 

OT Season One B5 DVDs should be out this month... Go Kosh, Go Kosh Your a Vorlon, Go Kosh....

 

LOL, go a few pages back and you will see I responded with exactly the same quote!

 

Here in Germany it's out by today
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!

 

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........ *


*Dave, they're all dead!


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

 

NV labs quote of the month: I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 unit.
