GeforceFX

I cannot believe for one second that this hasn't already been mentioned... I've been eyeing the screenshots and pictures with envy. I want one! :) http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=geforcefx http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q4/021118/index.html http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q4/021118/geforcefx-03.html [this cooling system is crazy!] http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/28153.html http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/3648/SUPP/large03.jpg [my god] -- Joseph Birr-Pixton

You could have a map for the car surface, one for the primer coat, and one for the actual paint (dunno what they use, acryllic?). You could create some incredibly cool and real looking car and track surfaces if the card can do that shit in real time, especially if you can modify those maps in real time without a huge performance hit.

The trouble with every new feature is... They ALWAYS claim there is NO performance hit..but in the end...every new gimmick gunks up the fps just like the old gimmicks. dave henrie

How can you tell what it looks like when you're looking at the screenshots with an old video card, old MB, not to mention only 4x AGP etc? Am I missing something? I'm looking forward to the release of this card too, don't get me wrong. It will mean all the other cards will go down in price. Then I'll get me a Geforce 4 for cheap!

Now if it had stages longer than 5km and an in-car view we'd be on our merry way. =) Er, I mean, it's no GPL. If it's not Papy it's crap [insert 4 linked P's to form a swastika-like cross here).

And I thought my aluminum-finned, dual-fanned Leadtek GF4 was a hottie. Oh well, at least she's loud... SB "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That is also progress :-) They will no doubt manage to distill the latest GeForce down to a single 2x2 inch daughtercard within a year. Cool. Stephen
