Nvidia to blame for everything

Oh yes let's blame Nvidia for destroying the rain forests now as if we're not aware you hate them enough already.

Can't wait

When are these scheduled to ship!

I went with a 8600GT to support DirectX10 development and I can barely sustain 30fps at medium detail 1280x1024 no AA, that is on a Core 2 Duo with 2 gig of ram.

At the time I couldn't justify £140 or so for the GTS, but after buying it I can't really justify the £80 for the GT.

You get a whole 10fps for anything DX10, and NVIDIA were kind enough to remove a query about the performance on the developer forums.

Obviously the 8xxx series is a flop where DX10 is concerned, much like the FX range.

blah blah blah!



wibble wibble!

why cry

Just do what every one else does, slap a sticker on the box that says, "bonus free extra 16 scalar shader unit inside." Very simple and saves some more trees.
