alanschu Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Hehe, I remebver that when Voodoo went ape just before they crashed. They released a card with six GPU's that never made it to retail, didnt they? It was a 4 chip variant known as the Voodoo 6500
angshuman Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 Well, if it drops to a couple hundred dollars, I might pick up one. Can I SLI it with my 7900GTX? Interesting question... that would make it a 3-card system! I really have no idea if it would work. At any rate GTX prices will always be significantly lower than GX2 prices, so if the GX2 really crashes it might make more sense to pick up an additional GTX instead, with its far superior cooling solution.
metadigital Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Yeah, the driver would be the weak link with an SLI 7900GTX and 7950GX2 ... i.e. none available. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Dark_Raven Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 What's with 7950? Just make it into an 8000 and call it the 8000 series finally. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
alanschu Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Because they might be waiting for the GeForce 8 series to come out...
Bokishi Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 They can't call it 8000, because 8000 is gonna roxor your world so bad and be the solution to everything; something the 7950 can't be Current 3DMark
Dark_Raven Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Well whatever the hell they call it. Geforce 8 than. Just release Geforce 8, 8000X and be done with it. Their numbering system is wacked. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Bokishi Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Noez! 8 series cards will have new architecture. 7950 just has stale architecture, but more of it. Current 3DMark

WITHTEETH Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Nvidias next card will be the Geforce 7999.99 because they're out of their mind!!!! (w00t) Edited for grammar.

alanschu Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Well whatever the hell they call it. Geforce 8 than. Just release Geforce 8, 8000X and be done with it. Their numbering system is wacked. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought their numbering system made decent sense. The first number is the model number, and the higher the number is (even with the model number), typically the better the card is.
Meshugger Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 The next nVidia graphic-card should be named something else than the GeForce. How about eXtaGon? Zeetor? Excelsior? The list could be endless.

metadigital Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 And ATI would retaliate with the "All in Wonderment at His Grace" ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Dark_Raven Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 nVidia FTW. But I still like ATI's All in Wonder cards. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
