GeForce FX Reviews Roll In
Defender2000 writes "GeForce FX NDA lifted today, reviews are up at ExtremeTech, Tom's Hardware, and HardOCP. So far, it is indeed better overall than the 9700Pro, but not enough for it's price. Perhaps NVIDIA has something up its sleeve for the long term?" There's also a review at Anandtech, about which reader StrongBad writes "Unlike the rest of the reviews, however, wonderboy
gets down and dirty with the FX's antialiasing and anisotropic filtering methods
using some nifty on mouseover java commands."
This article bears a stunning resemblance to this fake one posted by Stoatbringer on this Fark Forum.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
The Graphics card that breaks the 10,000 product number will take up two PCI slots as well as the AGP one, need an IDE channel all to itself, and may or may not require you to sell your first born.
:-P
They probably wont go with the last one though. Who is going to have both children AND a next-gen graphics card?

Sorry, but my karma just ran over your dogma.
I always wanted to put a vapor-phase cooling system in my computer. I have always decided against this due to the noise the compressor makes. Now we finally have a video card the is louder than a compressor when its 3-d pipeline is running (73db). I am going to have to install it this summer. For now my room is cold, and I may run a heat pipe from the card in front of my feet.
Sigs? We don't need no stinking sigs!
> Anyone ever spit (or put snow) on a hot stove?
Don't do this! I've been fired twice for doing that. Same thing happens when you spit in the chip frier, and even the hamburgers.
And looking at it .... it sucks and blows at the same time ;)

I'm getting a "Broken Pipe" error at tomshardware-dot-com.. looks like one of ol' Tommy's water cooling rigs has finally sprung a leak..
> However good you are, someone is better.
Hmm. Assuming "better" is a chain complete partial ordered set, then if we take a person and do a transitive closure, then you will find someone who is "the best", such that there is no one who is better than them.
If you are suggesting that the relation "better" is not strongly normalising, then that would require an infinite number of people.
If you are suggesting that the relation "better" is not even weakly normalising, then you would require some kind of loop.
This would require that it is not confluent..
This would mean that you have, say,
a is better than b AND
b is better than c AND
c is better than a
Which requires a to be better than a, which no longer makes it chain complete.
So in total, I don't agree with your sig.
New motherboard: $117
New CPU: $105
Radeon 9700 Pro: $320
Finding out that nVidia's upcoming card will cost more, offers little to no performance increase, and will be loud and hot: Priceless

/. seems to have become the home of a bunch of pansies. "My iMac doesn't have a fan!" "The fan noise is too loud!" "My ears are bleeding!" Bah. You're all sissies. I'm an Inspiron 8200 owner. It burns my lap and punctures my eardrums with fan noise! I have to turn my 400-watt Klipschs all the way up just to hear music! And I *like* it that way! This new GPU fan isn't so bad. I've got a 7000 RPM fan on my Athlon back home, and not only can I hear the jet-turbine noise in another room, I can hear it on another floor! And I *like* it that way! So bring it on NVIDIA! It's not like I can hear the damn thing anyway!
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
