What's so special about this videocard?

Post by: Fett101 on 9 January 2003, 20:31
The same thing that's special about every new video card. It's faster. But this ones suppose be a lot faster. (just like all the other ones were)

The special thing about it is that they have built it using the 3dfx technology they tried for years unsuccessfully to get in court and then got for 10million when 3dfx went bust.

Really, if it's 3dfx it has to be good...

Geez, only 10 million?  Freakin bargain.

If only it had a glide api...  :(

How does it use 3dfx technology?  Do you have a link?  I'm interested.

Fx sucks ATI 9900 is much faster than fx if you see the tests.
If the producers start developing only on Glide(or even opengl) then our videocards will worth something.

Nah, ATi videocards suck. Not the actual videocard, but the drivers ATi puts out. The drivers for Windows are a joke, the drivers for Linux are rediculous.

Best thing you can do now is to buy a GeForce FX and replace the stupid cooling system.

I agree. I've owned 2 Radeons(a R8500 and a R9700 Pro) and I had nothing but problems with them. Screw ATI and the shit drivers that they pull out of thier ass. I'll stick with NVidia cards. ;P

well i have an ATI card, and yes it sucks. a mate of mine has a different video card and it also sucks. mdk 9.0 couldn't even run X on his. mine runs X 4.x fine, but the card claims it will work with hardware acceleration, but fails to do so. you need to turn that off (which has no GUI for doing so of course, so for newbies it sucks).

however the drivers for ATI cards in linux are reverse engineered are they not? i could be wrong but i was under the impression that the cards from ATI do not come with linux drivers and that ATI support in linux was community supported, is that right? if so then anything's a bonus after all...

Does GeForce FX support DirectX 9?

Yep

What does everyone else think of this new "Cg" or whatever?  (The new nvidia programming language thing designed for optimized graphics only.)  Hype or will it actually provide a benefit?  (If coders actually use it that is?)

From what I have read it seems very good, but then again i've only really been reading propaganda.

It will be nice if Linux game developers use it in forthcoming releases, iD Software etc

Ironically nvidia seems to be the one with video card problems now.

Speaking of the FX, I got one a few weeks ago, and I like it very much.

It looks like it just takes time for these cards to get broken in.  Anyways for value users the FX 5200 isn't a bad deal.

True, but... The FX 5200 isn't the only FX out there. There are a bit more powerful graphic cards in the FX lineup.

I know that but their outragously expensive.  This you can get for less than $90.

I must say I like the GeForce FX. It's quiet, and it's fast. I wanna get one myself.
