i am disappoint, nvidia

For anyone holding out hope for the new Nvidia architecture to slam ATI's dick in a brick wall at high garm speed:

you are disappoint.



The specs on this board, which boasts minute performance increases over ATI's latest series (which was released at least 6 months earlier), are enough to make your giant computer tower hover for about 12 minutes before igniting then melting shortly after consuming every bit of electricity left in the whole world.

What's worse is at the price it's coming in at, it's not even close to being competitive, so anyone holding out for a price drop on the high-end video cards won't see it anytime soon.

Nvidia has claimed that these glaring negative points are a trade off for how CUDA, tessellation, and PhysX will raise the bar for graphic performance using DX11. Even if that were the case, you're hard pressed to find anything coming out in the next year that will take advantage of the technology. People who are impressed by these kinds of things are the same people that pre-ordered AVP and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We all know how that turned out.

With all that taken into consideration along with the 480's astoundingly awful 20 degree max temp. difference and over 100 W power consumption difference over its competitor's (top of the line) product on just about every test released:

I, personally, won't be holding my breath.

"Gearbox’s Steve Gibson made an official announcement to Destructoid and stated that Borderlands would be released for download on Steam. Gibson also mentioned that the desktop release would include several features that will definitely not be seen on home console versions. Weapons can be exported via item cards in .jpg format, so if players collect a weapon of mass awesomeness that no one in their circle of friends has, they’ll be able to share it with them. In addition to that interesting feature, Borderlands for the PC will come with special menu and inventory systems designed exclusively around the mouse input option. Another little extra is the addition of timedemo benchmark software, which is exclusive to the PC. Last, but certainly not least, if played on a high-end system, the PC version of Borderlands will show off the most impressive graphics of all three versions of the game"

I am very disappointed.

I expect better from you. When you are out in the world, you must represent IAAT with dignity and class. We need to work on your people skills and adjust your attitude.
