NVIDIA Gives Details On New GeForce 6

Posted by Hemos on from the power-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Firingsquad, NVIDIA will be announcing a new GeForce 6 card for the mainstream market at Quakecon this week. Like GeForce 6800, this new card will support shader model 3.0 and SLI (on PCI Express cards), so you can connect two $199 cards together for double the performance. NVIDIA will also be producing AGP versions of this card as well."

    I don't care much for spiderman (when I read spiderman as a kid, I certainly didn't envision the wussy feminized metrosexual character they made him out as in the movie) and have not (and will not) watch the sequal, but I recall hearing someone involved in the first movie talking about how the computer rendered spiderman and his movement was intentionally done in a slightly cartoonish way to reflect the style of the comic books.

    Personally, I thought it just looked dopey. I also thought the CG spiderman looked more butch than the faggy Toby Miguire. Peter Parker was never meant to be Atlas or the Hulk, but they didn't have to make him some prissy little MTV emo-dork either.

    God that movie makes me want to puke. I don't know many people that liked the movie except for teenage girls who really couldn't give a fuck about anything but rate it highly because of the douchebag in the film.

    I know you're not supposed to reply to yourself, but, honestly, being modded as flamebait? Do you have to put LOL or :-) at the end of every attempt at humour now?

  4. Long Term Performance by glassware · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As long as we're talking about nVidia, does anyone have access to a long term performance graph of old nVidia cards? Rating them from generation to generation to how much improvement there was in each era.

    I tried googling for it, but the keywords are just too popular, and everyone is google spamming and bombing and such. Don't even bother trying to search on Yahoo.

    I used to have a good chart that showed dollars-per-FPS, but it's totally lost now.
