Default AMD to take back graphics crown from Nvidia ?

The psycho-schizo idiot asshole went ahead and added AMD R700 to it's
list of dumb**** fruitcake aliases. And the loon is on a posting
frenzy with the other multiple personality identity of NV55 at the
same time.

The fact is nobody is really going to be excited by the GX200 or the
RV700. The last upgrade cycle had the Geforce 8800GT which is a very
good card for a lot less than $200 now. The simple reality is that
there is no game pushing the graphics capability except Crysis right
now and even if some people want to keep playing Crysis at 1920 by
1200 with all high settings and more than 30 fps, they are doing it
with 8800GT in SLI for less than half the price of the next iteration
of cards. These new cards cost too much and use too much power for
only a fractional improvement in performance.

Until a game comes along that is, first of all, really good and
secondly, requiring a lot more power at a much higher price, the
graphics card market hits a flat spot here. It may take two more
versions before another upgrade cycle happens. And so far, there is
very little news about any PC game soon that is going to require any
sort of major graphics card upgrade. It looks like at least a year
before that happens. Also, Micro$crotum really needs to stop with the
horse**** and make DX10 independent of Vista. All they are doing is
hurting the PC gaming market with that lying piece of crap.
