Trident Back From the Dead

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-plain-wierd dept.

FunkyMonkey writes "It seems that Trident is trying to pull a Matrox and resurrect themselves from the 3D video card grave yard. AnandTech posted a Trident XP4 Preview today that has some interesting information on Trident's latest stab at the graphics market. The company is claiming 80% the performance of the GeForce 4 TI 4600 at a price tag of less than $100 USD including DX 9 support. How? A 0.13 micron process and only 30 million transistors thanks to pipeline resource sharing. "

    Take your homosexuality elsewhere. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. People like you should be castrated.

      You're assuming the existance of a god or gods here. Not just any god or gods, but YOUR god. You are taking it for granted that everyone else here is christian. I am offended.

      Besides, this is the internet, an place for idea sharing and tolerance. Perhaps people like YOU should be castrated, simply so they don't reproduce and create MORE little biggots.

    Offtopic yes, but isn't it odd, what with the 'normal' banners that appeal to most of us that are on ./ that I just saw one for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET? Kinda odd with all the MSFT and .NET bashing here...

      Yeah but whoever is serving the banners can get good data on what IPs have the most reloads on anti-microsoft stories.

      And I'm sure MSFT could do something with that information. Maybe they could find out which company has the most anti-MSFT slashdot readers and send the executives of that company on a nice MSFT-sponsored vacation and then start hawking Visual Studio .NET to them.

    Jeez... Not only is this stupid, but it's largely incorrect: not too many of these are actually ways to *skin* a cat! Dousing Mr Meow in gasoline and using him to ignite a billboard would get rid of a lot more than just his skin.
