Zoost Posted January 30, 2003 "There are some more things I am playing around with, that will probably remain in the engine as novelties, but not supported features: " Yes, I like novelties. I remenber that Quake had charactershadows as novelty. I never understand anything of the techtalk. But if JC talks about: Bump mapped ambient lighting, Renormalization of surface normal map samples and of course Per-pixel reflection vector calculations for specular, instead of an interpolated half-angle, I just want to have it. And I know what card to buy 0 Share this post Link to post
The_Tonx Posted January 30, 2003 So basically he's saying that NV30 is a little better performance (gaming) card at the cost of noise level and big price.. I have R300 (Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 PRO) and it's quiet as hell! I don't think I want to upgrade it to NV30.. :p 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted January 30, 2003 Noise is a BAAAAAD thing, very very bad. The computer I am using now... 90% of the time, all fans are turned off. And the hard drive becomes inaudible while listening to quiet sound on the speakers or with headphones. Don't underrate quietness. 0 Share this post Link to post
GS-1719 Posted January 30, 2003 My Doom machine will be built with quietness in mind - quiet fans, insulated case. GeforceFX is no longer a feature for more reasons than just performance reasons now. 0 Share this post Link to post
