Hi,
new generation of NVIDIA cards is out.
The technical demos of real time rendering are quite shocking.
We will have to use our 3D applications within highest limits to show that non-realtime renderings are still better thatn realtime ones :rolleyes: It would be shame if games shots would look better than Blender renderings 
Is there anyone thinking to purchase this new card?
Iām still using a FX 5200.
Iām still using a geForce4. Certainly outdated, but more than enough for the work I do, so buying this probably wouldnāt do much for me (tech demos look great, though).
Behold at my Intel G900 integrated video card, heheā¦ 
certainly a sweet card esp looking at its bench marks VS, ATIs(AMD) best cards.
Iāve often thought, man, just a random screenshot from some of todayās games looks better than most our artwork, and itās rendering at 50 fps! I guess that means we all need to work on our texturing skills!, and blender needs integrated GPU hardware rendering! (and GPU cloth sim)
Dude, youāre like 8796 versions old:D
Damn it, new_neo. Get your facts rightā¦itās 8796Ā½ versions 
I agree that for Blending it might not worth it.
But to be compared to āQuadroFXā trick for 3D application users (i.e. this card plays no role for rendering scenes except Gelator render) it is definitely better choice.
With respect to GPU renderign there is excelent script for NVIDIA cards and free Gelato made by marioamb http://www.kino3d.com/forum/download.php?id=3674

Regarding to better texture painting do not hesitate to try Artweaver. http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version
It is free (sorry not opensource) and to be comapred to GIMP it has genious flexibility of brushes and their modification. Use ti together with GIMP, this combination is PS killer :-).
Nice. Iām still on the AGP version of the 6800 GT. Works fine for me now, but Iāll probably end up buying a new PCI-X mobo and graphics card if I ever upgrade.
ME- PCI-E 7600 GT, I lovez it.
awwwwwwwwwh! I feel sick! My poor cards are hiding in shame! 
Itās been quite long since I updated my machines, but this might be a good chance to get a new PC and finally change from AGP to PCIE. and also change to a 64bit processorā¦and a dual oneā¦ and a better cooled caseā¦and a new mouseā¦ and a new dogā¦ sighā¦sighā¦sighā¦
Sweeeeeet! I was planning on dual 7950 GX2ās for my new system, but I think 2 of these aughtaā do the trick instead.
Yea but whats the price tag, i dont think any current gen engine(or even next gen engine) could bog this guy down no real point in doubling it up right now, cept for bragging rights of course.
Yeah, itās pricey. I donāt have a computer of my own at the moment though, and the one I plan to build is going to be no holds barred, top of the line, so it should be current for quite some time. But I have to admit, bragging rights are nice.:o Anyway, hereās the price. newegg link
Eh my question is how well it will work when vista rolls around and its lack of love for openGL.
dude i donāt know what youāre talking about. A game render canāt even touch some of the works in the forum art page. I mean seriously. Not even close. In motion things look much more defined, but if you were take a still of most of todays game they would not look so hot. Trust meā¦

650$$$!!! HOLY COW! My computer only cost a thousand total!
Like, with other parts, too!
Lol, with a 8800, you wonāt need other any parts.
uber-fast floating point units: checked
768RAM: checked
massive heatsink: checked
uses tons of power: checked
makes lots of noise: checked
fills an ATX case: checked
who needs powerful graphics cards? GeForce 2 for the win!!!
NOT! lolā¦
