From what I've read, it should be out by the end of February.

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...
Specifications are for the weak and timid!
You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

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...

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?)
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
