Geforce FX Reviews Coming In
Here's a review from Tom's Hardware -
http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030127/index.html Click through to the cooling section, they have a link posted so you can hear what the thing sounds like on boot up, that's fucking loud, it does sound like a vacuum, ha ha ha. Anyways, there's other reviews of it at these links - http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...,846356,00.asp http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NDIx From what I'm seeing there, the slim performance increase over the Radeon and noise isn't worth making me wanna buy one of those cards. I'll just pick up a Radeon 9700 Pro and with the money I'll save, I'll use that to get the next Radeon card that rolls out ![]() ![]() |

What I really get a kick outta is how people are soooo damn stupid over at Ebay. Heck, Comp USA is taking pre-orders for the card for $400 with free shipping, but yet I see people on Ebay bidding OVER $500 for the cards with like 6 days to go in the auction. Fuck, I should pre-order a couple, then sell them on there.

I think I'll wait, no real need for that sort of speed, especially at that price point. Give it 6 months for Nvidia to work out the kinks and for the price to come down.

A GeForce4 Ti4600 is still more than good enough.

After hearing the sound file of it on Tom's Hardware, that really turned me away. For those that haven't heard it yet, check out this link - http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/...rce_fx-06.html scroll down about half way, you'll see links to what the card sounds like on boot up compared to the Radeon 9700 Pro, that's unbearable, I don't think that my wifey would like watching her soaps with that in the background, ha ha ha. |

hehe. I thought it was some guy taping his vacuum cleaner for real. lol.
That's horrible. I don't see how anyone can release something that is that loud in all good conscience.

Guess you guys have never overclocked... I had an Athlon system about a year ago with one of those Delta insane fucking hair dryer fans on the CPU, bastard sounded like that all the time.

I guess it is time for nVIDIA to step off the throne
![]() I remeber when 3dfx had it all in the video cards market and then nVIDIA fucked them up with Riva 128 and then Riva TNT. 3dfx responded with the Banshee, which was a totaly disaster. After that they went into a steep downslope. I hope the same does not happent to nVIDIA |

Well, even though Nvidia is sucking right now, it looks like there might be another contender stepping into the ring, S3. Check this out -
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7319 I know that people usually say that things that sound too good to be true, usually are, but heck, if it is true, S3 is gonna put out a card that kicks ass AND is cheap, they could change the entire market to cheaper faster video cards. They say that the cards START AT $90, so who knows how high they'll go for a decent card. Looking at what the specs are on it from the article, it doesn't look like it'd be all that great. I guess that we'll just have to see what happens with it. Oh yeah, I just ordered my Radeon 9700 Pro ![]() |

I'm an NVidia fan, but this video card is ridiculous. The specs are nice, just like the 9700, but the noise and that ugly fan is horrible.
I'll pass. I hope they fix those issues with the next one. |

I have a geforce 4 ti 4600. WTF is a ti 4800? I think they had a typo in that review.
Anyway, the new FX card makes my card look bad, yet the ATi card was slightly edged. Fuck nvidia, Im going with the new ATI card that gets released, whenveer that would be. But I play games like bf1942, sof2, so I would just rather wait to get a new card that would show me a significant improvement that I would actually notice.

No typo. I believe that the TI 4800 is exactly the same card as the TI 4600, but has support for AGP 8x. That's the difference. I read that Nvidia only released the GFFX to keep up with the market - their main focus supposedly lies on the next gen chipsets, the NV 31 and NV 34. However, if they keep on going on like this, I see another 3dfx tragedy happening. Cuz ATi's R350 is gonna steal the show. |

http://www.ocsystem.com/atirad8512dd1.html It's an OEM version of the card. If you want a retail version, look around Ebay, you can find some over there in retail box that go for $275-$300 (plus shipping). I ended up winning mine over there, paying $275 plus $7 shipping, which was a great deal. The prices may drop down early next month though. |
