Geforce fx isn't worth the money, for all the hype nvidia put into this retarded looking noisy piece of shit its only like 5-10% faster than a radeon 9700 at most. Ud be better off buying the much cheaper 9700 or wait till the new radeon card.

Quadro was built for 3D modeling in realtime. GeForce was built for gaming. I'm really disappointed on the reviews that they got for the FX. cry:

What's this QuadroFX thing?
I read in a CGW a couple months ago, that the GeFX needs a seperate PCI slot just for the fan because it gets real hot, real fast.

You're 1/2 right. No, it dosen't take a PCI slot, but it does take an additional case slot:

NVidia got smart and added a fan that actually routes the heat right out of the case. Besides, you shouldn't have any PCI cards directly next to the AGP port installed, unless all of the other slots are filled.

Here's the hardware specs compared to a GF4 and a RADEON 9700:

http://www17.tomshardware.com/graphic/2 ... fx-03.html


This was from Tom's Hardware Guide, his conclusion on the card:

[quote:d89a0]NVIDIA takes the crown! No question about it - the GeForceFX 5800 Ultra is faster than the competition from ATI's Radeon 9700 PRO in the majority of the benchmarks. However, its lead is only slight, especially compared to the distance that ATI put between its Radeon 9700 PRO and the Ti 4600. Still, when compared to its predecessor, the GeForce4 Ti, the FX represents a giant step forward. [/quote:d89a0]

Oh, alright, I don't know what everything is in there, and don't quite remember all of the article. I wonder if it's loud..I know I can hear mine from the Ti4200.
