yet another graphics card is being released. i think its getting a bit stupid now though because new parts are constantly coming out. you buy one then 5 minutes later the next version comes out. but at the supposed £350 i dont think that it will be much of a success because there are still some excellent cards available for about £100

Gatchaman. It was partly due to the adult nature of the stories too, Zoltar was a cross-dresser and there were many other storylines that would have caused a bit of a stir in American and here.
Don't you just love those wacky Japanese.

Are CBBC re-showing all the old G-Force cartoons? :)
Takes me back (seventies or early eighties?) :)

The GeForce3 is undoubtably the most powerful commercial graphics chipset currently available, surpassing even the very best of the current top-end cards.
Yes, it is expensive, but it is still new - the price will come down with time, and as more companies start to use the chipset on their cards. The current UK price is aroundd £350, and I'm very tempted to get one for £220 when I go over to america...
The idea is that the "nFinite FX" GPU takes the strain of any intensive graphics operations off of the processor, and that (along with the high polygon/sec count and support for large amounts of DRAM) results in some stunning graphics.
Get some of the videos off of nVidia.com to see what I mean. I tried running some tech demos made for low-end GF3's on my GF2 and they just gave up and fell over (except for the wobbly green dinosaur, but that wasn't reflective..)
