Relax guys, Anand's working on it - 24/7 slips these pop ups in on us all the time despite our specific instructions to NOT use popups.  They should be gone soon.
just wanted to thank all you guys for the birthday wishes :) I had a great day, but now it's time to get back to work...
and of course happy birthday to everyone else with the same birthday :)
I have to step in here because this is just rediculous. OF COURSE the GeForce fully supports Direct3D and does so just as well as any card from ATI, Matrox, 3dfx, STMicro or anyone else he listed.
In fact, the GF3 is the only card out right now that is truly DX8 (and thus D3D 8) compliant...
The wheels are already turning on some of these reviews, but it takes quite a bit of time to do all the benchmarks and that is what often holds us up on the cool investigative type articles.
I will say, however, that VC-SDRAM really does not provide much of a performance boost in our...
A tad more info for you guys. Check out: Fresh Alloy's NAIAS Coverage - they have a couple more pics as well as some more engine info. They say 260hp from the 3.5L V6 now, which actually probably makes sense. I was beginning to think that 270-280 would be more realistic as soon as I posted...
Saw this thread and aftering seeing NFS4's pic, I just had to do some more digging cause I've always been a big fan of the Z. The official unveiling will be Jan 8 at 12PM EST at the Detroit autoshow (according to NissanDriven.com), but I just couldn't wait. So let's see what we've got here...
Unless otherwise stated, we start with the "normal" setting with sound off and we only change the resolution and color depth as appropriate for the test at hand. We also set the texture color depth to match the frame buffer color depth.
Here's the deal guys - the i850 only supports 1.5V I/O, while other current chipsets support 1.5V or 3.3V. Older stuff, like the BX are only 3.3V. AGP 4X requires 1.5V I/O, but 1.5V I/O does not necessarily mean AGP 4X (although it does in most cases).
So that's why you see GeForce cards with...
joburnet - I see what you're saying about the rating system. However, you have to remember that there are tons of products out there that AnandTech doesn't review - many of which are the ones that would get the 1.5 - 3.0 range of scores.
As for the CUSL2 you got - I'm sorry you're disapointed...
LXi & AdamK47 - 3DS - it's all coming in due time my sons ;) The reason we didn't do it was because the only 760 board we have right now is the reference one from AMD, which for some odd reason doesn't support multiplier manipulation.
Actually guys, this isn't Radeon based AFIK. I'm 99.999999% sure it's an chipset from ArtX, which ATI purchased earlier this year. It does have T&L (a first for an integrated chipset) and will probably be faster than any other integrated chipset at the moment, but it won't be a screamer...
Dooling37 - I visit the busybeetoys Scoop page too fairly often, but unfortunately, the majority of their info comes from these random Japanese car mags, who unfortunately speculate way too much and know photoshop entirely too well. Then the busybeetoys guys add their own speculation on top of...
NFS4, the RX-7 is definitely one of my all time favorite cars (well the 3rd gen anyway). It's really unfortunate that it just didn't sell enough because I really want to try out a rotary engined car at some point. So a used 3rd gen is currently my dream "maybe I can get it relatively...
Alright Anand, where's the table of contents here? Shouldn't this be a link to showdoc.html?i=1290 or something ;) Anyway, I'm just messin with Anand cause I was laughing at him while he was typing away at that giant post.
But seriously, I agree with pretty much everything Anand said. We...
NFS4 gets the scoop (about Doherty) in the forums again, even if it's not about computers this time ;)
So what do you all think of this choice? I can't believe everyone else (Fogler, Brown, Karl, etc.) withdrew their names from consideration.
Doherty certainly will be more dynamic and...
Thanks guys :) Like I said in my front page update, the b-day e-mails are what really kept me going till 5AM last night working on the V5 Review.
But the real question is who's the joker that is literally flooding my box with 100's of messages??
Dead Parrot Sketch - got ya covered now :)
RoboTECH - sorry you didn't like the article, but we're just giving you our observations. Check out what BenSkywalker had to say regarding this - I won't rehash it again.
DeathroweR - as I mentioned in the article, 3dfx is not releasing...
Hey thanks guys :) Glad you liked it. But everyone over here:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=44&threadid=196821
seems to want to kill me over it though. Anyone want to go back me up? I posted my comments there already.
utopia - thanks for giving me credit btw :)...
AngelOfDeath - just updated the CUSL2 review with i440BX numbers. Sorry they got left out when I originally posted the review. As you can see, the BX is still slightly faster, but it's running in overclocked form to do so, whereas the i815 runs completely in spec, something that is quite...
Zippy - The "24 hours later and your half way done" thing is what I was referring to when I said "easier said than done" ;)
btw - so everyone knows, the V5/6000 is not available, even to review sites right now. I've yet to see a V4 available on the net, but I'd love for...
Zippy - much easier said than done ;) Although a full Summer Video Card Roundup is definitely a possibility, I think we'll be doing a final V5 review first as there seems to be quite a bit of interest.
ScoRp!oN - Matt will be doing a GF2 GTS roundup as soon as we get a couple more boards in...
