26 Jan 2006 ~ 4:24pm lemonlime I have this strange feeling that the X1900's will be toasted in March..

I'm having a really good time sitting on the sidelines during this latest GPU war..
I think I'll wait for the smoke to clear and enjoy my more than capable x850 until then
26 Jan 2006 ~ 6:37pm entropy I've been sitting on the sidelines for the past two and a half (and now almost three) generations. You know what? It sucks that they price these things so high. It really is frustrating.

But at the same time, I don't need anything more powerful, for how often I game. Hm.

I Know it's irrational, but my X850XTPE has SM3.0/HDR envy
26 Jan 2006 ~ 11:27pm i wonder if theyll ever stop. nVidia and ATI are like old generals, one fires and the other fires back, and the battles last days at a time and no one wins.

maybe they should each focus on making a killer gpu instead of just barely trumping the others minutely.
27 Jan 2006 ~ 12:51am Winga I have been wondering about the same thing.

Every few months they release a new card to out-do the other. Put the price up (of course) get some tech site to give it rave reviews and when we buy it we sometimes battle to see the difference in performance between the new and the old.

They should take time out to work on something really revolutionary.

28 Jan 2006 ~ 12:52am GrayFox I can't wait to see benchmarks.
