GeForce3 Previews -- 9:49 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

NOW the previews are starting to roll in. Read all you ever cared to know about NVIDIA's new GeForce3 chip at the following sites: HardOCP, Sharky Extreme, Tom's Hardware and AnandTech. Hopefully by the time that games hit the shelves that can actually use some of the GF3's power the cards will actually be somewhat affordable for regular human beings.

FWIW, so far my favorite preview (from an "easy to read" standpoint) is AnandTech's. The Tom's Hardware one is the longest and most likely to make your head cave in.

While I'm pondering all this information, it struck me that 3D Realms had better get Duke Nukem Forever out quite a bit before Doom3 comes out (or even the first Doom3 Test for that matter). If DNF comes out too close to Doom3 and Doom3 has incorporated all these swell new features . . . ouch. Could be painful for Broussard and the boys. It would seem that with the advent of the GF3, their technology window is closing rapidly.

UPDATE! Evil Avatar got a press release from Hercules announcing the 3D Prophet III based on the GeForce3. It will be available in March for $529. Start saving those pennies!
