New Graphics Company, With Working Cards
gladbach writes "Toms Hardware has in their hands an actual working card, unlike other vaporware cardmakers *cough* bitboys *cough*... To quote Toms: 'A new player dares enters the graphics card market that ATi and Nvidia have dominated for so long. XGI (eXtreme Graphics Innovation), based in Taiwan of course, comes at the market leaders with a line of cards for a whole lot less money. We look at XGI's product range, and offer results of a beta model from XGIs top model Volari Duo V8 Ultra.'"
Did Slashdot just discover Tom's Hardware this week?
WOW!!
but - wait a minute - guess I'll wait for the Volari Quattro Triplex V12 Turbo GTI XXL
_ThAT'll be a nice graphics card!
perl -e 'printf("%x!\n",49153)'
Let me know when the Type-R model is available though.
and that is a good point.
This company, if they want to have even a snowball's chance in hell had better leave the gate running screaming the name Linux.
they had better have linux drivers and put as much attention into them as they do the windows drivers.
Linux users are at a point now that we can make or break a company, espically a new company like this.
Embrace linux and we will help you succeed IF your product is not crap.
The good news: a new, cheaper GFX company bursts on to the scene to challenge Ati and Nvidia dominance.
The bad news: the cards suck ass.
So basically, nothing has changed since you woke up this morning.
I think there is a world market for maybe five personal web logs.
Linux users are at a point now that we can make or break a company
You don't say. Would you care to point out either a company that has been reduced to nothing (besides Loki -- ha!) or skyrocketed to success solely on the awesome strength of Linux users?
So ... you feel that Tom's Hardware is completely useless. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinions.
...
You then say that [H]ard|OCP, Anandtech and Ace's Hardware are 100% better than Tom's Hardware. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinions.
However - 100% of useless is still nothing, so what you're saying is, that [H]ard|OCP, Anandtech and Ace's Hardware are also useless. I don't think that's what you were going for
We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
Hugely entertaining posts. Enormous mod-point wasting antics ahoy! To all you trolls out there: keep modding up one another's dodgy pic links, so we can laugh as losers visit them!
VA Linux! Biggest IPO of all time. Granted they are bankrupt now, but that's beside the point, no really - it's beside the point.
What? I've never had a buggy Matrox product, but I've also never owned one of their Parhelia products. Millennium, Mistique, G200/G400... All were excellent products.
I bet your enter key still has the original matte finish to it :)
Hell, for 175$ I'd take that damn dollar sign and put it where it belongs, in front of the number!

Snot - nosed.

Right, should have caught that grammatical error
And the myraid of others?
But that doesnt make my post invalid
You are correct, sir! Your lack of insight and depth of knowledge handled that daunting, little task for you.
Working as the snot nosed grammer nazi on slashdot was taken
Actually, no. We told you that for the reason that if you were the proofer for the site, you'd have everyone sounding like some inbred pro wrestling fan within a few days. That part backfired, apparently, as everyone pretty much already does sound like an inbred pro wrestling fan around here. Oh well, c'est la vie.
