Citation4444 Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 I must say I hoped for better results than these reviews are showing. Here is a list of the reviews. GF FX Reviews I hoped for better after all this time. They better have some driver tweaks up their sleeves, or ATI is going to kill them in the marketplace and with their next card which is expected right on the heels of the GFFX availability. I had hoped they would put intense heat on ATI for our benefit. So far, it looks eerily reminescent of 3DFX's launch of the ill-fated Voodoo 6 - too little, too late.

DevilMB3017 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I think that the finsihed product of the FX will be much better. Some better cooling would prolly help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATI Radeon 8500 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yeah it really seems like NVidia is going to be in serious trouble now. It seems like everyone is going ATi now. Well the GF FX really needed to come earlier and theer are still a lot of NVidia fans who are waiting but if the FX isn't up to par NVidia better recheck their business strategy quickly, or start designnig a good card fast.

From what I've read, this is the finished product - hardware wise. They can still tweak the drivers and they better do so quickly as the online forums are trashing nVidia with no mercy.

ATI Radeon 8500 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 LOL hehehe I remember 6 months ago I came to the forums with my shiny new ATi cards and everyone saying how much NVidia pwned it. Well I think ATi is going to have the last laugh now . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 when is the new ati card due out i might look in to that instead of the fx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATI Radeon 8500 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I think it'll come out in afew weeks by the way it sounds...I think I may buy an FX to use as a jet engine . That thing is seriously too loud to bear I listened to the tom's hrdware recordins at low wolume on my box and they were sooooo annoying. Edit - Actually the FX on idle is louder than a Vantec Tornado. NVidia may want to just give you a water cooling kit with it to shut the thing up.

DimensioN Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 well ofcours it's not that good jet, there are no drivers, updates or whatever for it, so it's just not good, i tell ya, the card can go, over 20 000 in 3dmark, with good drivers, and updates, and maybe little oc, but that isn't even needed for that score greetz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Yeah when i read the reviews on all the geforce fx cards it seemed sad to know u get about a 300 point in 3dmark difference between the FX and the radeon 9700 Pro. Just wait for the "good" cards to come out. Don't go for the no name companies first to come out with FX. In the meantime, im goin to tick with my Radeon 9700 Pro.
