GeForce 3 - Cheaper than first thought!

[MikeyP]

I don't really see why anyone would pick up a GeForce3. It is hardly any faster in today's games, and when games come out for the GeForce3, it will be a slow card. I believe Carmack stated that the GeForce3 would be able to run Doom at 30fps, 800x600 in high quality. It reminds me of people rushing out to buy the TNT2 for Quake3, only to find out that the card didn't cut it once the game came out. However, the TNT2 was a better buy, it gave a tangible increase in performance over the TNT. The Geforce does not give this compared to the Geforce2 Ultra. But then again, if you have the money...

complete waste of money.
You won't see games utilizing its power for 5-6 months.
By then it'll be below $300 if KyroII stays in competition.

If you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO buy now, get a GF2 MX for around $100 and wait 6 months. Otherwise you will be sorry

check this out .. i don't know much about the kyro.. but i think it has no T&l right? From what little i know, it does massive multitexturing.. which is useless if no games support it. Games are going t&l/geforce 3 features.

So how many months till G3 Ultra? I've convinced myself to wait till then to get rid of the G256, ~3-4mo?
