Alright, I just tried an experiment. I lit a candle. I put my delta 7200RPM 80MM fan next to the flame while it was spinning. It blew it out.

It blew the FAN out? :Q


How big was the candle's flame?

The fact that these cards are already on the shelves but the retail reviews aren't here yet is really strange.

Where you been? Beyond3d has a shipping Ultra FX DustBuster REVIEWED

Uh no, that is a preview of the reference board.

And now that the benchmarks are available, prepare to be UNDERwhelmed.

Right NOW, the Radeon 9700Pro is $299 at BOTH CurseitCity and CUSA. Or do you need your "fx"?

I got my $299 CC 9700Pro yesterday, now all I need is some drivers that don't require me to:
1)crank my agp down to 4x
2)disable fast writes,
3)reduce hardware acceleration a notch to reduce stuttering

Actually it IS aReview (just no comparisons to competing products, in the style of Beyond3D) . . . . So how DOES it differ from the "shipping boards"?

It is final silicon and final release drivers. It should be very comparable to what you would find on the shelf (IF you could find ONE on any shelf).

It's STILL a DustBuster:

We've seen a few revisions of the 'FlowFX' cooling solution since the first previews of GeForce FX 5800 Ultra's were made available, and judging by the clear plastic ducting this would appear to be the later revision. This revision is supposed to run quieter in 3D mode than the previous versions, yet the fan noise is still quite loud and can be heard over my other PC's Lian-Li case, with 4 system fans and a CPU fan. This version does spin down entirely in 2D modes (which runs at 300/300), which means the board is passively cooled, and completely silent. During testing the fan did spin down quite frequently, presumably because the board was overheating, when running 3D applications, also reducing its 3D performance.

EDIT: Yourself, are you using the 3.1 Catalysts? Anything else - what shipped with the 9700Pro - IS OLD.

Its loud, bulky, requires its own power supply, and expensive. Thats besides the fact the ATI 9700 still wipes the floor with it for almost a 3rd less of the price of an FX. Need anything else to say stay the hell away from it? They should just wrap the card in caution tape.

I believe that's mostly the carbon dioxide in your breath.

Yeah, but you force the air in front of your mouth into the flame by expelling the gas. The air hits it first. The premise is still sound anyway.

Heh, not really, the air you push out of your mouth cuts through the air in the room, it doesn't push it. (This is air not snow )

Guys, we gotta get out more. I say we because I read this and actually sat back and seriously thought about it for a minute. Then I realized I need to get out more.
