    Grafic difference between 2.0 and 3.0 -> NONE.
    Some of the programing is a bit different, that's all.

    It seems like the GeForce FX line already beats the **** out of ATI in image quality on Half Life 2 then as ATI runs it in 24bit precision while the GeForce FX line was running it all the way from 16 bit to 32BIT!!!!!!!!! (even though the framerate sucked but who cares nVidia was already king in precision)!

    1. I was wondering about the Quadro FX cards? why do they have Ethernet jacks and other networking jacks on them?

    2. The pics seem like the cards were just sitting there (Did they have some case in them cause) this makes me wonder if somebody would just snatch the cards off that place lol since I dont see much security to them

    What look's like ethernet jacks are actually ports to join multiple quadro's together to tackle large projects. Renderfarm baby:)

    ya i saw the pics...driver related...stop trying to justify your now outdated inferior 9800 to this new marvel of engineering.;) :D :D

    i can remember people blaming drivers for the 5900ultras poor performance/image quality in ps 2.0 ........and they still hacent fixed the 5900's

    btw ps 3.0 titles aren't expected till about 2006 by then this generation and the next generation of vid cards will be obsolete:p

    still..right now the 9800xt compared to the fx6800u is like comparing a 9800xt to a fx5200....that is the gap in performance difference between the two cards...this card is in a class of its own right now...so dont even dare to insult it with a card of half it's speed...and that's because it is cpu bottle necked or else it would be 1/3 it's speed.

    Allright gentlemen, no need to get all riled up. The whole point was to admire how cool SM3.0 looked in the pics/vids.

    The whole thing with Nvidia and FarCry is apparently a driver issue. Look at the bright side, FarCry was PS2.0 and to mod it to 3.0 took about 3 weeks. So I'm guessing future games that will support 2.0 can be modded to 3.0 and with the shader already present, converting is apparently easier.The issue is Directx 9.c, from what I understand, it will be a part of XP SP2, which Microsoft has "planned" for a June release. (According to what I read on iexbeta a few weeks back). And with MS sending out a thank you to all the beta testers, I imagine it's getting close.
    As far as Ati and 3.0 being in their next cards, I'm the last person on the planet that could answer that :eek: And if they don't I'm sure your going to see it, or something better in their lineup following the X800 series. Who knows, maybe they will come out with something that floors us all?

    Ok there's my red-eyed babble.

    ATi not supporting SM3.0 isn't something a big company is stupid enough not to regret. There current models of the X800XT probably don't support SM3.0, but hey, a revision could already be in the works rather than delaying the release date.

    Maybe when you guys look at those shots, you should read what the reviewers are actually running first. They are using beta forcewares. Far Cry is seeing the Nv40 as an Nv3x.

    Looking at the SM3 shots and videos from Far Cry, there isn't any reason why Nvidia would still have those PS rendering problems once the cards are in users' hands, new official forcewares are out, DX9c is out, and the game recognizes the Nv40 as an Nv40.
