What are you stupid?

>plonk<

I have zero patience for people who like to argue for the sake of arguing and state black is white and white is black.

You were told to take it to an ATI board, don't let the door hit you on the backside on the way out if you can't be reasonable.

everyone has thier own opinion and they must do what is best ofcourse...

The ATi 9700 Pro really changed the world in 3D graphics like the Voodoo Graphics did back in '96.

I have always had ATi since I had the 9700 Pro, never wanted anything else, like NV has used cheats with thier drivers, ATi PWNzz all, and especially with the Best overall Image Quallity in the world. 2D nears that of Matrox and 3D there is no better clearence that that of ATi, I have the AUS ATi Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition and man it's alot better than the GeForce 6800GT in D3D games with Shader Model 2.0, but in OpenGL the GeForce has the upper hand.

every card has it's own speciallity, ATi = Best in D3D, nVidia Best in OpenGL & T&L, S3 best in Texture Compression aka S3TC, segment, Matrox best in Multi monitor support and best in 2D. Matrox always had av ey good name even the Matrox Millenium G100 was the best 2D card in the world.


but 3Dfx did make it's day back in '96 agree with that, but to me it was wierd and stup[id stuff, You had to buy a 3Dfx card to play a certain type of game, OpenGL wasn't compatible, so it wasn't that kind for the owners that didn't have the cash to buy one, because they wouldn't be able to play a certain amount of games, so it was still a pain when 3Dfx came, I really started lik'n 3dfx with thier Voodoo3 3000 AGP why> well because you didn't need to put sepperate cards in a system, it had the Glide API, OpenGL and D3D in one, which was more pleasant for install and more user friendly.

Though SLi Voodoo2 was ver powerfull at it's time also.

Hi to all and sorry for my bad english, I'm an italian 3DFX fan and for as I know there are 2 Rampage in the world, perhaps three.

The only functional Rampage is in Italy, thanks to Amigamerlin and Hank, here are some links:

For any question and translation please contact  ^SiRtA^ (Rampage owner), Amigamerlin and Hank Semenec.

Good reading.

yeah SiRtA sold his indeed he told me this week

must of been worth a bl**dy fortune hay

that is something I really couldn't do it is soooo Rare, maybe rarer than my rares Sting CD "Nada Como El Sol."

anyways hehe I really do hope that there were 30 rampages and still hope that there is a Spectre 2000 the one with the Sage T&L chip really got a feeling that that also is drifting around.

We must remember that not all information would be spreaded out, there is still some secret info to be revealed but what that may be is ofcourse the question and problem.

Questions are to be answered and problems are to be solved, but it's the sollution how to do that

May The Force Be With Our Quest here

well it's logic that the 5500 does not have EMBM, the Rampage does Test it minimal of a Gf3, Matrox G400MAXX or a Rage Fury MAXX, they are the minimal supporting cards for EMBM

The Ramapge was based on DirectX8 and had ShaderModel 1.0 support the Napalm there did not have this feature so EMBM isn't possible.

The shots look superb  8)

Man I wish 3dfx were still around and I had the latest card in my main rig 

that's a nice find Janskjaer never seen this pic before man I wish I were there though , wouldn't you
