The NVIDIA GeForce 7900 Series

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-shinies-for-the-precious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "HardOCP has posted their evaluation of the new GeForce 7900 technology. They fully cover widescreen gaming this time around too. 'NVIDIA has worked hard to try and produce a more powerful, albeit power-efficient GPU in the 7900 GTX and GT, and they've succeeded. They run cooler; are smaller, have less transistors, and they don't make you stuff cotton in your ears. The 7900 GTX and GT are just more efficient while being lightning fast.'"

    Apparently moose are uncountable.

    In English, the word you use depends on whether the thing you are describing is countable or uncountable. If English isn't your first language, that is the best way to think about it.

    Or if you're a programmer, think of it as floats and integers. Perfect!

    (Yes, it would appear English is strongly typed, unless you explicitly cast using a metaphor...)

    Actually, metaphors typecast implicitly. If you want to explicitly typecast in English, you need to use the simile syntax, which is done with the keyword 'like' or the redundant (TMTOWTDI!) keyword 'as'.
