Tom's Hardware has a some benchmarks comparing the new offerings to current products, and the results are pretty interesting. Meanwhile, The Tech Report does an excellent job cutting through the hype with an examination of each new chip's features. Both articles are well worth reading to get the full story on the latest from NVIDIA."

    From Tom's review... 'Whether 136 fps at 1600x1200 is really necessary remains questionable'.

    NO SHIT!!

    Could you render the Final Fantasy movie in real time with five times as many enemies as Serious Sam throws at you with a completely deformable and interactive world?

    Saying the Quake3 engine is fast enough is like saying the Doom engine is fast enough. The only reason it is "fast enough" is because it has made serious trade offs in terms of photorealism, number of objects in the scene, size of objects, horizon, etc.

    Until the Quake 47 engine looks substantially like the view out my window it seems pretty obvious to me the ways in which game graphics can improve.

  5. Demos? by Isldeur · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Over Christmas I got a Leadtek Ti 200 and have been enjoying it when I get the chance. I downloaded the chameleon demo from Nvidia and still think it is quite the bomb. But I've noticed that a number of other demos on their web site were never released to the public. There were "movies" of them, but what's the use of a movie of something if you have a card capable of doing the real thing. These are "demos" aren't they? Why were the binaries never posted?

    I was over taking a peek at the new demos and, looking at 3 of them, didn't see one which was actually available to download. Why is this? I hope they will show up in time but still don't understand why the others didn't, at least completely, make it. Why don't video card manufacturers include these in those silly CDs they have. The Leadtek CD comes with, among other wastrel silly programs, a pretty awful DVD program. Why can't they include some of the real demos which would show off the cards so much better?
