GeForce 256 For Sale!
by Steve Gibson, Sep 01, 1999 2:45am PDTI didnt mention the GeForce cards up for auction on eBay, Excite, and Yahoo yesterday assuming that they were fake. Apparently this is not the case. If you got some spare cash, which will be donated to charity, feel free to put up some money and try and get yourself an early GeForce256 card autographed by NVidia. Tweak3D confirmed it with NVidia. While on the subject, Check out this chat log from the NVidia chat that went down last night.

It won\'t be worth shit. I promise you that.
Anyone remember a certain toy that was supposedly collectible? You know, the one people would fight over in the run-up to Christmas... what was it called again?
And as to WHO would spend that kind of money on a vid card, I bet it\'s Matrox, S3, 3Dfx, or the likes of them. After all, they were at the chat last night, and asking questions. Nick from nVidia was joking that they were jealous. hehehe

(Bid is up to $8,300.00)
its that they dont know themselves. Its
up to the manufacturers to decide what
they want to clock it at.
The eBay auction is certainly legit, they mention that in the chat log and stuff. But the Excite and Yahoo auctions were never mentioned from nVidia, and more importantly, the Excite auctioneer has this email address: nvidiamktg@yahoo.com
Seems kinda weird to me..
..I wish I had that kinda money to waste :)
[MrBread] How many megatexels can the card do?
[nvda people ignore the question when it\'s asked about 5 times]
.... finally:
[MrBread] How many megatexels can the card do?
[nvdaChris] The numbers we announced today were 480 Megapixels.
So they just won\'t say. Maybe because it makes them look bad, maybe because they secretely have a huge fillrate (I\'d say it\'s probably because it\'s not that great), but they won\'t say the clock speed either.
Oh and quake is a great porno game.
