  1. Re:Have you actually SEEN FSAA in action? on nVidia's Ethics Questioned · · Score: 1

    "A word of warning to those trying to FSAA Diablo II - you can't. The 3D is only used for spell effects, so any FSAA abilities your graphics card has do not apply to this primarily 2D game." -firingsquad "but the game's 2D graphics are generally disappointing and look pixelated and lack sharpness on larger monitors." -gamespot diablo 2 is a 2d game. It does not use a 3d accelerator accept during the cut scenes, therefore, the fsaa is not in use. Granted 3dfx did add some support for gameplay, it doesnt help that much and one of those options is not fsaa. I may have been poorly informed but every web site on the net is too.

    You have been brainwashed by your goverment too. "Instead, they are relying on the United States for everything, as usual." You watch way too much american TV. "This is incompatible with common sense, morality, and Scripture." I get it now you're religious!

    Sorry man most of the pharmaceutical companies are based in europe... Brittain to be exact. However i have seen at least three of the best hopes for Cancer coming out of Canada. One is a virus that specifically targets cancer cells. And that little rant about France was hillarious.

    Not necessarily, sometimes the owners do kidnap people and force them to work. You can believe it or not but it is documented.

    I have seen fsaa. And if it didn't take my fps from 100 down to 40 i would use it. If it does this to current games immagine how it would work in future games. By this christmas you will have to play games at 500x300 just to even be able to use it. I have seen the difference, it's hardly niticeable and if you put a geforce 2 and a v5500 you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. Oh and i don't know where you are getting all the diablo 2 nonsense the only time fsaa, or even direct 3d for than matter, helps is during the cutscenses. Mybe you should go and take a good hard look yourself instead of relying on all those review sites

    Not to mention the automobile reviews!! have you ever seen a review for a car that was in the least bit critical? All the magazines get the cars for free, except for one that is, consumer reports.

  11. Re:Corporate donations & reviews don't go together on nVidia's Ethics Questioned · · Score: 1

    The fact is that every review site gets their boards for free, so everyone tends to be biased to the product they are reviewing at the time.

  12. Ge what a surprise on nVidia's Ethics Questioned · · Score: 4

    I get so fucking pissed off. Every fucking hardware review is biased to the product they are reviewing. I personnally have never seen a bad review for any card. Even when that ati maxx card was pulling only half of what the original geforce was getting people were still saying it was a viable alternative. And look at the voodoo 5 5500, what is relatively a mediocre card (at best) because of the appearant lack of balls by any reviewers, has once again turned into an excellent alternative. This fsaa business is such bullshit. "You might loose 20 frames but hey you will get one less jaggie over the geforce 2. So go out and buy a voodoo board". What they forgot to say is "Ok 3dfx i did my part now you give me another FREE board to review." I have lost all respect for every review site. It was the same with the radeon boards on monday. "And the Radeon is the absolute king of the 32 bit color absolutely crushing all competition by 2 frames." Fuck all of you. Get some balls and start telling it like it is, even if it means buying the card.
