I think this is a good move on AMD's part. For users who enjoy HD movies and want to view them on their PC's, this would be a good choice. Also, you mentioned that since AMD is only attacking the mid-range series of cards, so what are they to do when the GTX drops to mid-range? Simple, release an updated version of the current GPU, or release a new one. AMD has had plenty of time to research the GTX and find ways to come out with better products. If they always stay one step behind Nvidia, they can come out with a more reliable, efficient, and better costing product. I think they have the right idea here.

This is absolutely awesome. Just recently I started "phasing out" one of my old hotmail accounts that I've had for years just because Spam got so ridiculous. I'll def. be using this site in the future to keep my newer accounts clean. Great find and thanks for posting it for everyone to see! :)

I think it's crazy that this kid got in trouble. I started making maps for Duke Nukem 3D, and I loved the build utility. My friend and I used to always (try) and make maps of places we were familiar with. Was it because we wanted to really shoot up those places? Heck no. It's because we thought it was cooler than anything that we could replicate real life places, and then jetpack around in the game dualing with pistols. Even games like Red Alert 2, I used to make custom maps for that. Does this mean I'm going to plan a tactical nuclear war? Nope. Sorry, but if this kid is anything like me, he just likes to be creative and wants to have fun. I see no harm here. People need to start taking responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming other things such as video games.

They may have the resources to do what they want right now, but that doesn't mean it's good for consumers or their company. You say who cares about the PureVideo HD feature that isn't included on the card? Well for one, I do. Sure, people who will buy this new card obviously will have a lot of money, as well as a good CPU. Also, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray is going to get bigger and bigger in the future, and people are going to want this functionality in their machines. These beefy CPU's will have no problem with the HD content, but if the GPU could do it, that'd be much more efficient. Efficiency in computing is always key, and like I stated earlier, I think Nvidia is just being lazy.

It's good that Nvidia wants to offer a better alternative to what ATI will be releasing in the near future, competition is always great for the consumer. However, just "overclocking" the core/shaders/memory and hiking the price up about $300 is a complete waste. The fact that no new features are being implemented doesn't warrant the high projected price. Many 8800GTX users probably have already acheived these clock speeds by doing their own overclocking. The lack of the PureVideo HD Engine is stupid, and you'd think this is a feature that Nvidia would be putting on all of their new cards. I think they are just being lazy here...

Cute, you spelled "boy" with an I. :-)
