Default The nVidia 8800 Geforce Launch on November 8, 2006.

nVidia announcements recently were amazing. To all the engineers who
spent countless hours redefining and mastering the algorithms and
overall design for the New 8800 series of Geforce cards.

I happen to recently attend the announcement and was blown away. You
can now for pennys and/or fractions compared to super computers and
massive clusters have a scaleable graphics workstations capable of
doing optimal load balancing on video decoding. This is big.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_37234.html

The demostrations on nVidia's website and Nzone are now available. This
is pure realism at its best. You might find many forums and discussion
groups discussing the finer points in gaming lingo terminology; yet
should you actually understand the more technical jargon on structure
and design you will have a renewed sence of appreciation for the video
card chipset and its development(s).

Yada yada, you'd just see these parts (or rather, the Quadro equivalent)
integrated into the next supercomputers. Even the Crays use Opteron chips
and run Linux nowadays.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the GF 8800 doesn't have Vista drivers
at launch?

HEY MAN.

WHERE'S THE NEW "NVIDIA" DEMO TO SHOW OFF THE NEW GFX

*** I WANT A NEW *** DEMO *** =D

HELL MY GTX 7900 DESERVES A NEW DEMO ! :P*

I WANT MORE NEW DEMOS WIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee e

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhHHHHHHHHH !!



P.S.:

I DO HAVE SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH YOU:

I just noticed a new trailer of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on the Nvidia
Nzone section.

I haven't seen this before I think so it's possible brand new... and only a
day old... because I was at the Nzone section just a day couple and it wasnt
there yet !

GET IT NOW while you still can... while it's still FRESH... it might go
OVERLOAD SOOOONNNNNN WIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

OVERLOAD RULES.

ESPECIALLY FOR POPULAR GAMES AND MUCH ANTICIPATED GAMES

CAN YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE ON THIS GAME LOLOLOLOLOLOL oh my god

Yeah baby.

I think it's gonna suck though... haven't seen the trailer yet... if it
doesnt suck i would be happily surprised -logical but unexpected

Bye,
Skybuck.

Oh my god.

That trailer sucked pretty bad.

The game is probably gonna suck pretty bad as well.

It's like battlefield 2142 maybe even worse.

Such a shame.

Quake 4 single player was GREAT.

Here is my advice:

Take Quake 4 single player style of maps and turn it into multiplayer.

Have squad based action just like the single player.

Standard medic and standard armor repair roles plus assault roles.

32 players at least.

Objective of the game is reach the other side of the map.

Plain and simply.

Keep number of paths very limited this forces intensive teamplay and action
packed corridors garantueed.

Like RTCW MP demo.

****ing BLAST THOSE *******S IN THE CORRIDORS LOVELY.

Hide behind obsticables and weird stuff and ofcourse corners, stairways,
machines and god knows what.

That's cool.

Screw the freedom of battlefield 2, the demo was good, the full game not
that good.

Battlefield 2142 sux even worse - sux balls

Bring back the team based with different roles action packed limited paths
corridor shooter like RTCW MP demo, yeah baby ! =D

Bye,
Skybuck.

Not really, considering that Vista has not been released yet.
But it sure sucks for the the ones with pre release Vistas.

It is kinda strange...

However maybe others have drivers, like the manufacturer of the board etc.

XFX had a hacked-up driver for my GTX 7900 when it was brand new

That one worked with windows xp 64 bit, while the nvidia driver did not...

Shortly after nvidia had a working driver as well

Your Point well noted.

Microsoft which still remains the most dominant force among and around
the industries will always play and/or have the last say.

Yes Vista is Done as you will.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/ptech/1....ap/index.html

So now you can be expecting those updated drivers and marketing
campaigns to start singing in tune to Vista Readiness and Vista
Compliance.

I believe AMD and certain AMD controlled products were already pushing
the compaign a tad early which of course was in secrecy. Nevertheless
we all have our place. The biggest companies really don't need a
starting advantage.

Look for the second go around on the new G80 cards and Nforce products.
You will probably get the drivers you are requesting.

nVidia Please?

Default The nVidia 8800 Geforce Comparison by Vendors?

Let the Usenets and Forums begin. Now that its been officially 5 days
since Corporate Launch and the Buzz has began to filter it way through
the media; Question?

I've yet to read hard core numbers and stats from bench mark results.
Forget the media fluff and fancy words. I want numbers. Sorting through
all the various vendors; does anyone know who has "What they claim as
the BADASS GPU" in terms of performance?

Something tells me XFX is the One.

Anandtech did a recent review of the reference 8800GTX. On most benchmarks
it outperformed two 7900GTXs in SLI. It's a brute of a card.
