The Nvidia renaming thing is cool. I trying to see if my older card had the juice to play a game I wanted yesterday, and had a hell of a time trying to decide whether it could. Nvidia's numbers are screwy if you don't keep up with the news of every card they put out.
We were just talking about the price fixin' thing.
I went to best buy lately, and even the most expensive cards wre under $300. A year ago, models in the same bracket were about twice that.
The more I look back, the more amazing it gets. Glad they were caught.
Yeah I remember seeing my roomate go spend $450 on a card back in the day, and I thought he was crazy. I don't think he even bought the top-of-the-line one.
We watched the English Channel Fly, and it went to smoothly it was almost boring!
It was still great, but the guy really has refined that concept over the years and as we saw, it's quite capable.
