Holy...... Crap!

Check THIS out:

Needless to say, I WANT ONE. Unfortunately, I'm a broke college student, so I can't afford one.

But wouldn't Precursors look SWEET on this baby?

WOW, do i feel poor!
Well needless to say I only have a 128 mb Graphics Card, hoping to buy a 256 soon; then I find out, quite sadly, that they come out with a 512 graphics card... I'm sad, but great find!

I've got a 128... however it's only a fx5200. It's crappy. I want a new one.

I have a Radeon Xtasy which is a PIECE.  Quit whining.

Dang . . . I can't imagine being a serious enough gamer to need THAT thing.

I didn't know you had Dawn's GeForceFX5200 256meg Neo. That's cool. I went all out and bought a Radeon 9800 with 256megs of ram. It pwns.

Heh, I'm stuck with the integrated PIECE OF UNMITIGATED CRAP that Dell put in my laptop . . . for now.  At least my PC can run HALO and Enter the Matrix.

Yeah Cae, just be glad they didn't give you the one that they gave my parents, a crappy GeForce2Go with 32 megs of ram. That's Crap.

Oh, I know I already posted this in the GoRC forums, but since most people here arn't members of that one, I'll go ahead and post it here. This kicks that other cards butt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814124115

P.S. This was $1,499 when I last checked and it just went up. Holy Cow.

I honestly think I could come up with something better to do with 1500 bucks.

For that, I could get one helluva nice laptop with a FX Go 6800 in it, and be really happy. I really don't see the need for that card, since it's not all that good at games anyway. It's for modeling, not for gaming. There is a definite difference in design there. Then again... I'd love to see Maya, or Cinema4D on that thing... :-p

Yea, it would. I'd like to see that thing in action with Maya.

You know, I did some animations with Maya a few months back . . . too bad I deleted them.

Currently I have a x700 256mb pci express 16x. It is the pwn, except for that the fact that even my fx5200 outpreformed it while running dualies. When it comes to Dual monitors, Nvidia turns ATI over it's knee.
