Anyone else notice that odd numbered Nvidia releases seem to suck?
TNT, Geforce (buggy), Geforce 3 (late and short lived), 5000 series (no words), 7000 series (plagued by ram failures), and now the 9xxx series?
I've bought only even numbered series (with exception of 7800 and on third replacement for bad ram). TNT2 Ultra, Geforce4, 6800GT, 8800GTS and have been happy with them all. I'll be waiting this round out. Bring on the 10000 series.
My 8800GTS purchase made in nov. 06 sure has had legs.
I can certainly understand why nVidia has released this kind of product. Good way to clear out inventories of low speed binned g92 gpu's ahead of the true next gen release.
Now ATI needs to counter with a dual PCB 3870 x4...LOL
