Developers on GeForce FX - John Carmack (Id Software)
"NVIDIA Is the first of the consumer graphics chip companies to firmly understand what is going to be happening with the convergence of consumer realtime and professional offline rendering. The architectural decision in the NV30 to allow full floating point precision all the way to the framebuffer and texture fetch, instead of just in internal paths, is a good example of far sighted planning. It has been obvious to me for some time how things are going to come together, but Nvidia has made moves on both the technical and company strategic fronts that are going to accelerate the timetable over my original estimations.

My current work on Doom is designed around what was made possible on the original GeForce, and reaches an optimal implementation on the NV30. My next generation of work will be designed around what is made possible on the NV30."


Not that John is pissed with ATI for an alledged certain 'leak'.

I fully expect to see the FX do some uber things, an when it comes out, if it seriously outperforms the 9700, I'll sell my 9700 for around, hmm, I dunno, I guess $600

Keep it in mind peeps if you wanna pick up a high end card for a decent price
