Folks, Tom's has a mighty nice article on the GeForce "FX" (NV30) out right here and I know the majority of us video card freaks have been waiting for more news on this puppy. Enjoy!

Congrats on making Ultimate!
The card won't hit the shelves until February. Maybe I could afford it by then. | |

From Anand's article :
"Why isn't NV30 here now and why won't it be until February 2003? We've discussed this ...now officially known as GeForce FX to slip into 2003."
I didn't see anything about pricing, but I'm gonna guess about $400+ retail. | |

Found at VR-ZONE.COM :
NV30 will finally make its debut on November 18 at Comdex Fall 2002 but will continue using the GeForce4 name. Mass production of the NV30 chip is expected to begin by year-end and volume shipments in the first quarter of 2003. Two following versions of the product line, codenamed NV31 and NV34, have recently entered the tape-out stage at TSMC. Hoping to deliver a brand-new graphics chip architecture, Nvidia had invested around US$400 million in the past two years to develop the NV30 chip. Now with production soon to start, company president and CEO Huang Jen-hsun said that Nvidia will be able to reap results in the next two years and reclaim the position of performance leader. The first product co-developed with 3dfx after Nvidia’s acquisition of the company in December 2000, Nvidia’s NV30 not only comes with a record-breaking number of transistors, but also requires a more expensive flip-chip (FC) packaging process.
Oh JOY... yet another way for me to blast some cash on feeding the giant. | |

NV30 is going to be way too expensive IMO. | |

I dont see a reason to buy a dx9 compliant card until games actually start using dx9 features. | |
