GTX 480 Unigine and 3D Vision Surround Demo (GF100)

 
Thought this was pretty cool. Once newer drivers start to become available for this it should be the card to beat in the next little while, however, I have read in some of the tech mags about the Radeon hd 5870 beating out gtx480 in alot of benchmarks. Apparently the GTX is a monster when it comes to power consumption as well.

That looks and sounds awesome. Can't wait for that to hit the stores.....will I have to sell my house to get one though, lol.

probably more like a weeks pay but still, yeah, who the heck could afford one, we will have to wait about a year for a bargain version I guess 

[bigguy]

Yup, sounds about right to me. My card does a good job anyways for now.

WOW! that looks awesome....I would need to upgrade the rest of my PC to match it I guess...oh well, nice to dream...
