Geforce FX

Raiden01 · March 16th, 2003

will you be buying one and how loud can this thing be i realy wanna know is it louder than the ps2

**Raziel** · March 16th, 2003

I'll prolly get a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra, which is quite powerful, and has a normal cooler, not the FX 5800 one.

March 16th, 2003

Its just too expensive. This Radeon 9500 Pro is the most I have ever spent on a graphics card and that was 220 US dollars.

No you didn't. hehe thanks Raziel. Good place for it obviously :P

zukeft · March 16th, 2003

No, I won't get it because its performance hasn't really impressed me and I already have a 9700 Pro. I'm sticking with ATi from now on anyway. ^^

james.miller · March 16th, 2003

no chance in hell. my modded r9500 is allready faster than a standard 9700pro. i wont need anything else for years

Boltzmann · March 16th, 2003

Greetings,

I'm not sure if I'll buy one. It's too expensive, and I don't know if it's really all this money... Anyone here has the GeForce FX and can tell if it's really so good??

Live long and prosper.

felinusz · March 16th, 2003

Naw, I'm not going to buy it. ATI is 'better' (I always use this word loosely when it comes to computer hardware

) then nVidia in my books and I would rather have a 9700 pro. Plus, I don't think the estimated price is reasonable.

Gamer1 · March 16th, 2003

>>I'm sticking with ATi from now on anyway. ^^

another case of brand loyalty... bad, really bad

well, it depends on what geforce fx that i am going to get, i'm prolly just going to get the regular 5200, which will be retailed at 79, so that will make me happy, and will go to my work computer. and hopefully, they make a pci version.

Aleksei (St) · March 16th, 2003

i think im gonna wait until the r400 or nv35, nv40 arrive
im fine with my radeon 9500

**Shadow Lady** · March 16th, 2003

I will buy a GFFX 5600ultra or 5200Ultra (I have never trust on ATI's products

) cauze i need a really new great vcard instead of this almost stupid gf4mx440

well... thats if I get some money

March 16th, 2003

Gamer1 doncha have a Geforce 4 Ti 4200? going to a 5200 Non ultra from a 4200 is a really bad IMO.

Btw gamer don't mistake brand loyalty for customer satisfaction

Touche. I'll learn to read next time

**Kane** · March 16th, 2003

I probs won't be upgrading this time round. Maybe if/when I get a job, or I simply can't cope with the sluggishness of my machine. I'll probs go for an nVidia card then tho. They have never let me down, unlike ATi.

zukeft · March 16th, 2003

I don't think that there's a problem with brand loyalty. I mean, I would change after all if the competition outperformed my brand, but meanwhile it's a good idea to stick with a brand, thus supporting it and helping it.

I can't change what I have ATM, and I certainly won't be buying a new videocard for a couple of years. So if you have no choice, why not be loyal?

**Razor Blade** · March 16th, 2003

I used to be for brand loyalty but now I am for benchmarks! I won't be getting the geforce FX anytime soon - way to expensive! 500 - 600 bucks just ain't worth it. But I can't say that I will never get it.

**Demigod** · March 16th, 2003

I won't be getting a GeForce FX, I'm still aiming for a Radeon 9700 or 9500. The GeForce FX is more image than substance and is not worth it in my opinion.

Gamer1: I don't know what you have against brand loyalty. People have different opinions about things so let them have it. I for one favor Intel over AMD and ATI over Nvidia and I have my own reasons for it.

**Yeloazndevil** · March 16th, 2003

I'm loyal to no brand I buy a graphics card based on how cheap I can buy one
