R420 might only support pixel shader 2.0

Sure. Now. Still making up for that whole Viking thing, I think.

Here's a fun short my wife wrote on Vikings: http://www.dahoudek.com/Stories/VikingTorjanWar.htm

Best. Geo

 

I think this thread is oficially dead!

 

Let's hope for your sake that this flowerpot goes as far over your head as you comment did mine.. And no, I actually didn't get it

/me hides whiskey bottle behind back
"Who, me? I only drink water.... Errr, yes that's right... Water. "
/me forces what he thinks is an honest smile to his lips

"And as for Bester... Just wait until Lyta comes back and fixes me. Then he'll get what's coming to him! "

Yeah, sorry about that... Didn't think my little post would derail things for so many posts, allthough it had gotten quite a good start already...

 

did you guys notice that the R420 might only support pixel shader 2.0 ? just asking

 

What they hell are you bringing up a video card for when we're discussing Vikings?

 

Yea.... Kirk Douglas would cut your gizzard out!

 

Can we please turn this thread back on topic? I thought I had more info when I saw the post count jump up, only to wade through 2 pages of "stuff" that did not pertian to the topic. I am not trying to be a kill joy, just this thread does have sone interesting info and I hate to see it get lost in a ton of more OT posts.

 

Fair enough.

So how would a hypothetical PS 3.0-less R420 compete against the non-existant 16x1 nV40?

 

/me waves to digi.....

wasn't r420 also at some point 16x1 and 12x1 and now is 8x1 with some uber-pipes....i am getting confused pretty much lately

 

The Dig greets Silence with a smile since it is such a rare thing in his busy life lately (Sorry, kids & puppies are driving me bonkers right now! )

To be honest I've pretty much entirely lost track of the latest r420 pipeline rumors, last I heard I thought it was going to be a 16x2 arrangement...but I'm very uncertain on that.

 

Well, what a pipe mess

 

pipes.... smoking...

there's a joke in here somewhere, i can feel it

 

pipes --> smoke --> dreams ?

Holly crap !

nVIDIA is going to put everyone on crack !

 

Pipes? Smoking?.....Who was talking about smoking in the videocard business?????

Hmmmm....... just who was smoking something............hallucinogenic?

 

Sorry, still in french

(Was inspired by a thread on UT2003 forums, launched by CliffyB, he threw this pic, and just said : Fake it !)

 

Uhh... while I can fully appreciate the ASSets of the lady right there, my grasp of french is somewhat... well, nonexistant. Care to translete?

 

OMFG , Cliffy, it's been one year long that our games show a nonsense logo ! nVIDIA makes us advertizing things as fast as snails ! nVIDIA's 500€ boards are slapped in the face by 150€ boards !

GMan : We've been rather busy in your Absence, Mr Freeman....

The bottom-right handed bubble, I imagine, is self-speaking

 

Indeed it is.
Thanks for the translation!
