Well GeForce 3 seems established, the Ultra and MX cards are due out next week (the Ultra costs and sells for less than the GF3 in the USA as the manufacturing process is cheaper).
GeForce 4 specs are appearing in China and German and half a dozen good Aus, UK and USA websites, a card with 128MB memory 630MHz (DDR) memory, 6 rendering pipelines, a 300MHz core clock on 0.13 micron technology, 10 * FSAA ??? etc...
But where the FARK are the games????? Auqanox just went to GOLD CD, Dinosaur Island are still months away - not other games yet utilise a GeForce 3 fully.
The GeForce 4 is due between Feb and April 2002. I find it staggering in a $40 billion industry with only 2 major hardware vendors, delivering generational product only once a year, and only 20 major gaming houses, that we have to wait a year till 18 months for software to exploit the hardware capabilities. (a.k.a. the GeForce 3 fiascio)
An industry of this pace, size and incredible concentration of focus should be able to do far, far better.
Will we have to wait for the GF6 before software is around supporting the GF4? What do you folk think?
