This part here is high octane nightmare fuel... I for one don't want to go back using a 16/25/33MHz Intel i386 - I don't care if you include the i387 FPU or not... lol

I could easily see Microsoft shuttering the Steam client and storefront quickly and thus shoehorning in everyone into the MS/XBL Marketplace ecosystem instead to pump their numbers. This would be nothing but bad for the health of the PC gaming ecosystem.

When in doubt, DDU it. :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: found.

Soooo tempting... But I know a friend who needs a new PC. This would be perfect for him. Bump for looking

I finally bit the bullet and opened one of my GTX 295 cards up for some PM. It's a lot less scary than I thought to do once I found some instructions on disassembly, but still took forever to do - making sure not to rush a single step. The stock Shin-Etsu paste was strong (and thick) with this...

You mean the card with SM2 vertex shaders but SM1.3 pixel shaders and with price/performance that basically made it dead-on-arrival? Yes. Also, surround gaming with CRTs and dongles! https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/attack-blind-spot,482.html Matrox had some innovative stuff here and...

I kinda get it... Unboxing my *used* nVIDIA GPUs from the Titan X Pascal on have been a treat. The RTX 3080 FE I have now definitely has that "premium feel" in your hands. For as much as nVIDIA charged for it, though, it had god damn well better...

I may have posted this system 3 years ago but I didn't get a whole lot of time to play around with it. Today, I remedy that. Just need to figure out where I put the optical drives for it and install drive cables...

The GeForce 9800 GX2, yes. There was also a 7900 GX2 that was OEM only, and a consumer 7950 GX2 as well. The card that followed the 9800 GX2 is behind it: the GeForce GTX 295. :cool:
