Guest fragg Posted February 20, 2001 Aceshardware says today Nvidia's new "killer" video-card will be out in 3 weeks. It's no longer called NV20. The name is "GeForce-3". Price $700. Specs..... ***60 million transistors. (Almost more transistors than new Intel-P4 and AMD-Athlon "combined"). ***Theoretical fillrate is 3.2 G/texel/sec and 800 M/pixels/sec. ***Four pipelines can handle four textures per pixel (Geforce-2 has 2 textures). ***T&L engine, that can crunch 150 million triangles/sec. Carmack has one, is using it as "benchmark" for his Doom3 engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted February 20, 2001 Ridiculous and useless. I'd be surprised if it didn't bottleneck with the newest Pentium 4 chips. I'll buy it for about $80-$120 when Doom3 comes out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phoenix Posted February 21, 2001 You guys are rich. Seven hundred for one video card. Will Doom3 be that demanding that I got to get a ultra video card????? 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted February 21, 2001 Looks like all those people who've been telling everyone wanting a new 3D card to "wait for the NV20" are coughing into their pissed-in coffee. Further evidence that Nividia are rapidly becoming the Microsoft of the PC hardware industry. I suppose the most we can hope for is that it will cause existing cards to go down a price a bit... 0 Share this post Link to post

NV20's are the recommended graphics card for Doom 3. Anything older and you'll have turn down the "gee whizz factor" a LOT. 0 Share this post Link to post
