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."

Re:Directx 9 cards are all well and good...

Well, Unreal 2 is coming out in a week or two...I believe that will be the first DX9 game available.

Not only that, but the number of games which actually utilise a Geforce 3's features (let alone a Geforce 4) are few and far between.

The same thing was said about hardware T&L support way back when. Shaders is a BIG thing, and pretty much every major 3D game in development right now is utilizing shader support of some sort.
