GeForce3 Titanium Reviews

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the simulating-the-third-dimension dept.

Paladin128 sent us Tom's and Anandtech's respective reviews of the new NVIDIA GeForce3 Titanium series. DX8.1 compatibility (What is that anyway?), Shadow Buffers, 3D Textures, assorted other stuffs. Hey, but why is everything 'Titanium' now anyway? Laptops. Batteries. Video cards. I wonder if I can get titanium plating.

    Just remember, replacing your skeleton with titanium bones would add about 25kg to your weight, so go to the weight room for a few weeks and you'll be fine.

    Now if you can find someone who will do the surgery, let me know.

    Off the top of my head, DX8.1 is DiretX version 8.1

    DX8.1 refers to DirectX 8.1

    This is all what MarketingDroid, oops I mean CmdrTaco, cares about.
    Titanium is all about being trendy Taco, I hope you bought all kinds of "sweet" "titanium" gadgets just to be "cool".

    [Hey, but why is everything 'Titanium' now anyway?]

    It's just the latest marketing fad. Remember when everything was "Pro"? Or when soda (and everything else) turned "clear" or "crystal". I think Ultra was popular for awhile (not just with nVidia, but with detergents).

    It's the same reason we had that year with two volcano movies, two asteriod movies, etc. There's only so many good ideas to go around when you're in product marketing.
