That might be true. They can more or less do what they want.Quote:

Also- while they might have the performance crown, the % lead they have in FPS is not proportional to the % difference in price....
Next up: 10000CHUCKNORRIS Edition.
they didnt even go through the motions of putting a new video processor and opengl version on it? i thought that was what defined the 9 series?

Aye, that comparison is a good one. (and true)
IMHO, I think that success is overshadowed by the GX2 Vs X2.
The sad part is we get all this BS from Nvidia and AMD still can't get their sorry a$$es to catch up. :down:
at this rate nvidia have even turned their fanboys off them
anyways.....I want a GeForce X1050
The George W. Bush Collector's edition XFX WMD 9950GX2 Ultra 8GB DDR4.
8GB in memory of GWB's term length.
It was supposed to be ironic, but I reckon you picked up on that :)Quote:

i feel sorry for the poor peeps who buy this pile of crap !!
WTF??
Nvidia have lost there way . let hope Jesus can save them.

"G92 will be reflashed with the 55nm"
BIOSs are flashed, ICs are refreshed.
It still isn't a bad budget card, even though i'd still opt for the 9600gt if i were in the price range.
people will still buy it
they will put this in a HP or Dell desktop at best buy and say this "Own a new Quad core computer with a BRAND NEW 9 SERIES GRAPHIC CARD FROM NVIDIA"
Im still a nvidia fan boy...but the names have to go
im sure we will see the 9800GTO, and i think they will make revision of the 9800gtx and call it the same thing, but make it twice as good :/
GSO = Gone Super Obsolete
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :rofl: I laughed a mouthful of tea all over my desk :shakes:Quote:

NVidia has really lost all innovation. Very sad...
I disagree! Lately nVidia are very innovate with the products renaming.Quote:
