Carmack on the GeForce -- 11:07 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

John Carmack updated his .plan with a blurb on his impressions of NVIDIA's recently released GeForce 256. Here's a snip:
It is fast. Very, very fast. It has the highest fill rate of any card we have ever tested, has improved image quality over TNT2, and it gives timedemo scores 40% faster than the next closest score with extremely raw beta drivers.

The throughput will definately improve even more as their drivers mature.

For max framerates in OpenGL games, this card is going to be very hard to beat.
