Is there going to be a G71 to counter the R520?

[Apo11o]

either way - what if put simply those 32 pipe's cant be unlocked period - end of story - they may show in riva turn - perhaps the software is reporting it wrong?

Way to kill the optimism we had there.
How does that make you feel? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

FANTASTIC!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAH - see, now you have more determination to prove me wrong more fuel for the fire.

 

[Apo11o]

So, how exactly do you want me to prove you wrong?
Lets see where did i put my time machine? Ill set it for Future.

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

hehe - sorry - i broke the time machine, i had NVIDIA melt it down so they could use the metal to cut off the extra pipes in the core, since they were short and almost shipped the card with unlocakble pipes - i could not allow such proof to be made and had to crush all of your precious little dreams of saving money and getting top end performance - the 6800GT -> ultra era is OVER

BUAAHHAHAHAHHAHA

Either way NV is in the best position it has been since the FX debacle. They are dominating the mid range sales, have the top performance card in market now while its competitor isnt even paper launching its answer to it, so they have plenty of time to work on and get the kinks out of their next release. ATI is the one playing catch up now. NV let us all sit with the turd FX cards and worked on a totally new line while ATI followed its current progression. Now that progression is reaching its limitations and NV's is still in its infancy with alot of growth ahead of it. This should force ATI's hand into a new core of sorts sometime soon I would assume or maybe already has as I have been away from the PC scene for a few months while moving. Just my $.02

Is there an echo in here?

 

[Nandro]

Gotcha. I thought he might have meant to say something and it didnt show up. Happens to me on occasion when I type and the cursor isnt in the right box. Thanks.

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

Yes, he's "echoing your sentiments". It's a form of flattery actually. Means he agrees with you, and it bears mentioning again, because what you say makes sense.
