richardginn yeah hard drive tranfer rates are getting faster every time new hard drives come out because of the bigger platters! Plus DVD-RWs are getting faster every now and then.
Don't forget keyboards. Keyboards are getting faster by the day. Man I can't wait to get my hands on that new Cherry Windows keyboard, that thing looks sa-weet. Don't even get me started on the new faster mice...
what a pseudo-sarcastic and boring thread!!!!
close it up!
They call me Sarcastro...
I've heard rumors that floppy drives are starting to blaze ahead in speed...

Yea but where is the NV30 at? The 9700 has been out in stores for awhile now....lets count how long ATI has been ahead in speed by the time the NV30 shows up. It's not like anyone expects their flagship card not to be faster then the competion but they are in 2nd place at the moment which should be quite embarrashing for the company actually.
My theory is the NV30 is going to be a huge dissapointment to all but the most ardent NVIDA fans...so long to show up that ATI is going to have yet another card out at around the same time. Any speed advantage this card has will quickly be erroded by the competion; So we can expect the NV35 or NV40 3 months after the NV30 is released? Or do we have another long wait for the next earth shattering card by NVIDA?
I would expect that the drivers will be absolutely perfect(nearly flawless) when the NV30 does show up. They have had plenty of time to make sure of that; anything less is a failure on their part for what is surely to be a most expensive video card. You pay the big bucks you should get perfection in return and good value for your money.
/me waits for the NV40 to r0x0rz his b0x0rz
Waits for the NV50 or R500 for unreal 2003 to be very playable 1600x1200 resolution with all details on maximum and both maximum FSAA and AF enabled! Plus maybe Doom 3 may be playable to at these setting but who knows.
Are you kidding me?Quote:

It can not do 1600x1200 with all deatails on high with 6x FSAA and 16x AF on with playable frame rates in all games.

I disagree Belial. Why should they be embarassed they're not in first place for the first time in how many years?

You've got to remember, we're basically spoiled by an unprecedented release pace nVidia CREATED. ATI has not released chips on pace with nVidia, the 9700 came well over a year after the 8500. No other chip company has kept pace with nVidia- period. ATI may be on top for a few months, but look at the big picture:
Since the TNT1 4-5 years ago, nVidia has been at the top of the pack. They're second for 4-5 months, but that's out of 4-5 YEARS. In business, it's not the short run that matters.
