****, I could've got that instead of my 7600 BFG D:

 

[Mutley]

Is this DX10?

 

[TCfromBN]

If thoes specs and prices are correct, anybody who buys the gt is a fool.

 

[giant384]

that doesnt seem right if it doesnt need a extra power connecter and its competing with the x1900s

 

[3ssence]

Perhaps it doesn't need as high a voltage as the X1900's to perform in line with them. Some architectures are more efficient than others, maybe that is the case here ?

 

[giant384]

well it competed with the 7900gtx which needed a power connecter. so i guess the new architecture needs lower power.

 

[Gunner]

Impressive, I just might buy an ultra then.

Has anyone tried reading that google translation? it's hilarious.

 

[The Brick]

I'm glad it's not nearly as long as my penis like the 8800's.

 

[Gunner]

Forgot to ask, when are these expected?

 

[The Brick]

Mid feb. It's in the links.

 

[Gunner]

Mid february, that's good news, really good news. Thanks Brick!

And is that US dollars, the price? I need a new GPU, PSU, PPU and CPU. (NO U.)

lol what?

 

[kineaesth]

What do you mean what? It made sense...

 

[giant384]

why on earth do you need a ppu and i dont even know what this is "(NO U.)"

 

[Gunner]

It's a joke giant384735... he was making a list of stuff that ended in U and he tossed in a PPU and a NO U!.. at least I hope so, PPUs are for uneducated consumers.

 

[kineaesth]

Yeah, I hell as don't need one, or want one. Thanks for getting it Gunner. NO U? How do you not know! "Your mother is gay" "NO U" etc.
