Some quotes worth noting, keep in mind this is the "top of the line" ultra version of the geforce fx.

[quote:45e5e]As we’ve seen, the GeForce FX is no slouch in the 3D accelerator world, however it is not the "9700-killer" many have expected. It is, at best, mildly faster in most games, and the same or slightly worse in a few. Had it arrived when most of us thought it should, there is no doubt it would be much better received.

[quote:45e5e]Our initial conclusion is that the main thing holding back GeForceFX is its 128-bit memory interface. This is an area where nVidia has been trumped by the other major graphics players, since Matrox, 3DLabs and ATI all have 256-bit memory interfaces in their current-generation parts. But in examining the baseline 1600x1200 test results where we ran with neither FSAA nor AF enabled, it's pretty clear that something else is holding GeForceFX back as well. On 3D GameGauge overall score, GeForceFX is actually a tick SLOWER than Radeon 9700 Pro. And on 3DMark 2001SE, GeForceFX is only 6% faster than Radeon 9700 Pro.

So much for it being this big killer card that was gonna buttscrew everyhting out of its sight. AND as i said a few months back it has crap drivers due to it being a new architecture.

All that waiting and nvidia produce an "ultra" version of a card that is MARGINALLY faster than the radeon 9700 which has been out months now, lol i can just see the nvidia supporters cringing right now, this was to be the "be all and end all" of graphics cards and what did they produce? Something that offers virtually NOTHING over the far cheaper 9700.

The new radeon is due soon and its gonna further make the geforce fx look like the hyped pos it really is. Can we say nvidia dropped the ball?

They were so confident that this was gonna be a killer card and its barely faster than a card thats been out 6 months or so. It has CRAP drivers as well so id love to see the nvidia people's theories on ati and their "crap drivers", ati's drivers have improved a ton with the new catalysts and nvidia are now gonna have to start from scratch so its gonna take some time before theyre as stable as they should be.


Hate to say i told ya so but, i told ya so. I predicted this MONTHS back and ive been proved right, roll on r-350 to put another nail into nvidia's coffin.

biggrin:
