It's almost definitely a step above that, the e-peen mushroom stamp... :ROFLMAO:

Another chiming in to agree

No... I distinctly remember spending about $265 for my card in March 2008. The 8800 GTS 320MB was $349... Not the 8800 GT....

Your faith in the free market is, from a capitalist's perspective, admirable. The realist in me shits all over the notion that the market will self-correct. Time and time again, if a corporation knows it has a large enough market share where it can bully others and set the tone (*cough*...

Oh, no doubt in my mind. I'm sure he's narcissistic as all hell as well...

The effed up part is, you're probably not wrong. There will be plenty of upper middle and upper class people buying these for nVIDIA to charge even more the next generation. If that's the case, I'm out of PC gaming, or will be running 2-4 generation old GPUs from here on out. Nah, uh-uh...

And it ain't gonna be the shmuck that was talked into buying one of the worst values aside from the RX 7900 XT on team red's side, that's for damn sure... :ROFLMAO:

Yep, 256MB would have been high end, but not out of place in a dual PIII 933MHz system.

Nice! I always drooled over 2P systems even then, but lamented the lack of general support outside of WinNT and 2000...

To further add: this, while is painful to an extent, does clear some room for better boards I may or may not have otherwise known about before...

No worries lol - I have found in this day and age, sadly, you can't always be sure. Trolls take many forms and guises... :ninja:

It's kinda been superceded by nVIDIA Gameworks - which - I haven't really seen much use of outside of a few titles... a while ago...Based upon their pricing themselves out of all but those with the most disposable income, I wager nVIDIA is looking to move out of PC gaming and on to the big...

So to replace my MSI K8N Neo Platinum, I was thinking about a Neo2 Platinum (s939 instead of 754) instead if I can find any more Opteron 180s floating about - if not, an FX-55 or FX-57 would be fun. As for the ABit NF7-S RAID, if anyone has one they are willing to part with, shoot me a PM- let's...

EDIT: Found someone on my Discord server to trade. Delete whenever

Shhhhh! Don't give nVIDIA any ideas! :ROFLMAO:

I think that's partly the point to get playable performance out of them. All these cards are dead on arrival as far as I'm concerned. The 40 series stack/pricing is a big shit sandwich - and just enough people are going to buy these things for NVDA to justify this as the new norm so we all...

Welp, after going through everything 3 boards are MIA, with a 4th ruined by cat urine. Oh well... Easy come easy go, I suppose. EDIT: I hope it is my pragmatic attitude you like, Format_C, not the fact I lost/had boards ruined...

Wait... what? Hold the phone a sec... Did somebody say MT32-Pi?!

Dude... Been wanting to get one of these for nearly 15 years but I just never had the free extra money to get one, other stuff always took priority over a niche use item (in which I'd have to build the Pentium II 333MHz i440LX/BX/Voodoo2 12MB box to go with it first... Still pretty far down...

You really need an 1.13GHz Athlon or better for even the earlier builds of SNES9X with the old SPC audio core. Nowadays with the byuu sound engine, heh, anything less than a Core 2 Duo/Quad is inadequate for more modern implementations

The i810 chipset that those systems are based on (fixed function integrated 2D/3D core that's DX5 based on the i740 3D accelerator architecture that failed in the marketplace) should be fine for Diablo II? Most I was really able to play with it was early DX3/5 stuff like Forsaken at 640x480 or...

Do be aware though that emulators of the period that will actually run ROMs at full speed on that hardware are kinda ass when it comes to accuracy, do keep that in mind. (:

Exactly, 1280x960 is just 1280x720 with letterboxing added

He Indeed, an elegant weapon for a more civilized age... :D Quips aside, hell, even the 110nm > 90nm shrink of G70 (imaginitively called G71) used in the 7900 GTX 512 released 1 year later clocked up a good 100+MHz higher than even the near-4090-levels of availability 7800 GTX 512. Memory had...

You wouldn't actually have those 7800 GTX 512s still, would you? If you do, PM me when convenient, please. :D

So in the future we will all become coppertops... It all becomes clear now...

So I figured I would post an update... The system works fine, I just need a Windows 7 Ultimate key and a pair of DVD drives (1 RW, 1 ROM). I did want to ask you all which GPU should go in, should it be a... AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB? nVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB? or an nVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti...

QFT. It should be a $500 GPU at most.

Or * all * of them... :ROFLMAO:

I don't think he wants to go back to that now very toxic environment...

He's working on AGI now, I do believe. He's done with game development, I think.

I have one of it's littler brothers, the X99A USB 3.1. Other than a couple issues I was very happy with it and once I get the parts back next month, I fully plan on putting it back into service as a second system. I have the next gen octacore, the i7 6900K paired with it - if it wasn't being...

Yeah, 2P workstations from that era are definitely not suited to Windows 9x. I guess it would be more of a novelty and a feather in your collection cap more than anything else, IMO. Far less useful than say a KT133A/Athlon/Voodoo5 AGP system for retro gaming, per se

Good. Screw 'em.

I highly doubt it. Larrabee used an array of in-order somewhere inbetween P55C and P6 (That's Pentium MMX or Pentium Pro for you youngsters) level-complexity x86-64 cores and lots of L3 cache with the rasterizer being written entirely in software. The biggest problem with this approach was...

Which in my humble opinion, people like him have no business having the position of being a wealthy, successful "influencer," but here we are, and there he is, wielding the mic. Buttplugs like that always seem to end up in positions of such influence or power a lot more than they should. The...

To quote Duke Nukem: "Now this REALLY pisses me off..."

Nor can I, it's just that Larrabee stunt that Linus pulled gave me an accurate gauge of what specific flavor of douchebag he is. Now I dislike that smug, highly punchable face even more.

Yeah, I remember them snaking that card away from him. I still think it's complete horseshit, and one of the reasons I still soft-boycott LTT to this day.

I remember the constant regurgitations of G92, later the 55nm shrink - G92B for years... I stuck with a GeForce 8800 GT, later GTS 512 through all of that period. I didn't upgrade until GT200 hit, with a GTX 260 c216...
