    Hmmm, time to upgrade from an Xpert@Play98

    Hmmm.. I don't know if a GeforceFX is actually an *upgrade* from the Xpert@play98. What benchmark are you using?

      What benchmark are you using?

      The "decibels produced by the video card" benchmark.

    So, production quotas went better than expected, huh? /end sniping

    I have to admit, I knew the horse-power game was one that Nvidia was going to trip over eventually when the Radeons were *really* pushing the Z-axis occlusion.

    Face it, Nvidia became top dog by pure horse-power, and to some extent, deeper color depths and kick ass drivers.

    ATI finally got their hardware on track not by being able to "outshow" Nvidia's muscle, but by outclassing them by being smarter with the bandwidth and 'getting a clue' with drivers.

    (witness the Dawn demo on a 9800 running *faster* than on the FX series.)

    Speaking of the Dawn demo, does anyone else remember that this was to showcase the power of the FX, yet the 5200 is a *SLIDESHOW*?

    Final thought: Did they use 3Dmark in all the benchmarks? (/low blow, sorry)

    Are you guys telling me that every single person with a geforce fx wrote an online review?

    I'm using an Xpert@Play98 and I love it. Yeah, it doesn't support OpenGL very well, but look how fast it can display B's in a /. post:

    Who cares if someone found 120 reviews to link to, how is this helpful to anyone? Will anyone now go and read all 120? Go use Google, you'll get reviews of ANYTHING, and the best ones will probably rise to the top.

    Now if they had really 'collected' them they could have perhaps summarised all the conclusions into one short conclusion to give an overall 'world' view or something.

    This page could have been written by a dumb search robot just as easily as a human, where's the human value in it! Where's the humanity !?!?!? This is how the Matrix started you know.
