Secondary use for a Geforce FX

No, no this thread doesn't belong to the wrong forum
Well, at $600 the graphcard it'd be a very expensive hair dryer eh but well at least it's more versatile than an ATI (mmm maybe ATI can do an excellent egg fryer too)

Hehe!

But I guess even as a hair dryer it´s still too loud!

I just love the THG review, they even recorded the sounds of that "thing".

NVidia really got to be kidding.

Good God, it sounds like my blender!

probably works better as one too

nvidia is no more.

it is shame how bad 2D image quality is on all nvidia based cards, and how good is on all non-nvidia based cards.

Where's that promised "25% faster than GF4600Ti"? It hardly beats 9700Pro. FX's Anti Aliasing quality is also poor compared to ATI cards.

Anandtech, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5800 Ultra

I dare you to put this card in to a computer with a 250W PSU

I really hope nVidia works with thier drivers and gets rid of that horrible cooler. It kind of reminds me of my vacuum cleaner.

Seems that the "voodoo" curse is catching them
It was a mistake using 3dfx technologies, since they have been fatal to them once...

I downloaded the mp3s....man that is horribly loud! That's okay, I will probably just get a Radeon 9500/9700 when the FX comes out as they will probably will drop the price on them.
