NVIDIA UNVEILS GEFORCE FX GPU
Various gaming luminaries spout praise as nVidia reveals its GeForce FX GPU. Be bowled over by the images inside
18:00 The International Hotel, Mayfair, London was a buzz of technology today as nVidia lifted the lid on its next graphical powerhouse, the GeForce FX GPU, today. Boasting some crazy specs, the piece of hardware can deliver cinematic-quality graphics and special effects in real-time. Certainly, gaming luminaries seem impressed.
Real-time cinematic-quality graphics and special effects will allow developers to create incredible visuals and introduce real character emotion into games - just take a look at some of the screenshots for proof. Pretty amazing, huh?
Want ridiculous 3D graphics power? Check out some of these specs:
the world's first 500MHz GPU is able to compute 375 million programmable vertices per second; 4 billion pixels per second; and 16 billion AA samples per second
with the world's first 1Ghz DDR2 memories, GeForce FX features the fastest frame buffer ever designed
complete support for AGP8X and NVIDIA patent pending Intellisample(tm) technology ensures developers are able to create scenes of unrivalled beauty at unmatched speeds
The new nVidia GPU is based on the company's CineFX architecture, with the CineFX engine implementing both OpenGL and DirectX9.0 specifications. What this all basically means is that games fully utilising the features will look s***-hot.
Many of the leading lights in the PC game development world agree:
Mark Rein, Epic Games: "The nVidia GeForce FX GPU takes graphics experiences to a whole new level."
Gabe Newell, Valve Software: "The GeForce FX GPU is incredibly fast... Game developers are going to have to look to movie quality production values just to absorb all of the horsepower that NVIDIA is giving us."
Start saving those pennies people.
Well i will be definitely be getting this with my new comp no need for a upgrade for a while i think after this. lol my god

Which I have :)
Although not good enough.
It'd be nice to be able to play UT2K3 at 1600 with 4xFSAA though, The GF3 really IS the bottleneck in that situation.

Really? I wish my top-of-the-GF3-range Ti550 would do that with UT2K3.

True, but... NV30 man!!!
ah its okay but the geforce 4 ti's hopefully go down a fair bit then.......
Not more than £350 say usually reliable sources.
a ti4600 would be able to handle it fine tbh......... but this 'fx' chip will be around 400 quid or so i heard.......
I'll need this for Doom III.
Well on an AthlonXP 2700+, I'd predict about 65fps on the botmatch bench, and over 75fps on one of the highly overclocked XP2400s.
