Just relised the pointlessness of it all - the 8800

[Nutbusta]

Not really as no ones bought them for Dx10 as its not about Dx10, its faster Dx9, its a single card that whoops Sli/Crossfire, why would ppl buy them for Dx10 when :-

A: Dx10 is not out for months, and can't be used till it is released, and when it is released, faster/better Dx10 cards will be out.

B: No one knows how the G80 will run Dx10.

C. It's cool to have new hardware. Especially when overclocked to within in inch of it's life.

D. Bagging rights

In 1998 I purchase the fastest 3D card available (16mb TNT)

Let me guess, it still runs BF2 with all the settings maxed?

I still remember the argument about getting a 6800 series GPU rather than the equivalent because it had Pixel Shader 2.0. Not many games implemented it plus buy the time PS2 was common, the card would be slow anyway.

IIRC Buddy, they were SM3
