John Carmack predicts the card will perform twice as well as nVidia's GeForce 3 on Doom3 - I bet the boys over at nVidia just love that :o

Meanwhile here I am getting horny over the thing... god, I want this card.

8.8 gigs of memory bandwidth, HyperZ compression technology, 250mhz core clock, 4 pixel pipelines with SIX texture units per pipeline, making this card clock in at 1 gigapixel peak pixel fill rate, or 6 gigatexels a second.

It's debuting at $200 less than the GeForce3 came out at, and it rocks.

Anyone else thinking about getting this video card?

I know how you feel, man :D

I like to avoid making eye contact with anybody within an hour of plopping down hundreds of dollars on a piece of hardware that makes pretty pictures, because athe looks I get from some people freak me out :scared: :eek:
