what do u think about this????? Should make things a little more intresting...

 

[shiyan]

more competition the better.

there's actually one diamond card in one of my parents' company's office computers.

I hope they come out with something good so we can have lower prices overall.

Competing against nVidia and ATi? They're actually going to be making nVidia and ATi-based cards, no competition here.

Just a further note, no one's actually "back" here. It's just the name that's back, that's all. Kind of like Hercules. I believe that the old Diamond went into the toilet after merging with S3 and making only S3-based cards.

 

[Pinnacle2k4]

yeah, they gonna be releasing cards based on both nivida and ati gpu.

Nvidia needs to step up to the plate. There entire FX line are crap.

 

[snyper1982]

now they arent crap. they do make nice paper weights.

 

[CamH]

now they arent crap. they do make nice paper weights.

I hear those cow nipples are nice paper weights also!


But yeah, this Diamond coming back thing is really no big deal. Yet another ATI/nVidia manufacturer. Should be no big deal unless they offer some kick *** heatsinks with their cards or something.

i had a diamond viper card and it wasnt the worst card i have ever had i leave that to my geforce 4 mx 420

 

[Phoenix87]

My diamond viper + vodoo2 = l33t back in the day.

 

[Jawsome]

So what you are trying to say is, that the combination of those two cards = a very stupid language?

I dun get it...

 

[Captain Hilts]

My diamond viper + vodoo2 = l33t back in the day.

IIRC, back in those days the Viper name was used for nVidia cards only, wasn't that the case? I think that the Diamond cards that used the Voodoo chipset were the Monsters.

 

[Lithan]

Diamond viper2 z200 = rulezors for UT with l33t mad biznitches.

 

[Jawsome]

leet does not rulesores

 

[9mmCensor]

Meh, I would rather see a new Matrox Plethora... that card had so much potential.

 

[remissminotaur]

Yeah, but the Voodoo 1 and 2 were 3D only I thought? The Viper would have been used for 2D?

 

[pkrew]

The voodoo 1 and 2 were only a 3d add on card. They ruled for several years. The vipers would do both 2d and 3d, but nothing compaired to adding a voodoo card. Of course that's all anchient history.
