Games never look like tech demos but everyone falls for it. Like today we have people going "oooog unreal engine 5 demo so realistic omg" not realising you want get anything like that in a game for at least a decade or more.
Alias was kino. Get a hot actress, throw her in a different costume every week, add in some sci fi conspiracy for motivation and do mission impossible of the week.
Due to a shader bug, this demo no longer renders properly. You should pester nvidia about this despite the fact that they let sjws take it off the downloads page.
Works fine for me, you need to check your configuration for display.

I remember a game was planned starring her and her sister Dusk.
Google is bringing up nothing but Nvidia's attempt to censor their history to pander to non-existing feminists.
Did it ever come out? Was it ludo?
Yeah I don't think it came out but people DID port her to a few games as skins. This was before homosexual zoomers paid massive bucks for fortnite collabs because of stupid fricking dances. We used to make those collabs as mods. Frick modern gaming.
I had a card from this range that just kept chugging for like 10 years. I got it second hand from a buddy when he upgraded and I'm convinced he performed some kind of sorcery on it.
Thing would play games that cards way later in the series didn't meet minimum specs for. Kinda miss it.
Nowadays pretty much only csgo.
I love crpgs, I played shadowrun trilogy, underrail, Divinity:OS among the newer ones.
The most graphics-heavy game I played on this card was probably deus ex HR.
It never truly was niche, dating as far as the early days of Pong machines video games were mainstream. The difference is that it wasn't infested with attention seeking roasties, mentally ill politically motivated leftists and a large target for israelites. Video games were at their best when they were a male centric hobby that wasn't being taken seriously by corporate israelites so we were left alone.
>it was mainstream despite having a relatively few people access and I myself saying corporate didn't take it seriously because.... just because!
ok moron
Yeah you wrote all that to say they were niche.
Attracting all that crowd besides coomer males is what getting into the normie mainstream is.
Yes the Playstation was totally a niche thing. nobody bought them, playing games was totally a secret club thing.
Video games were mainstream but not flooded with the wrong people yet. You can have something popular but still good because it's not infested with bottom of the barrel.
>tfw cards used to have tv out and analog shit and it was good for playing retro games on crts >now you need a usb device or some sort of middleman and pray it has no lag
Well, it wasn't a graphical revolution like the original one, but still looks pretty nice. Just like Nvidia mentions in the readme, it's more of synthesis of all the graphical advancements up to that time.

While I'm more of a weebshit kind of guy I still don't understand why western devs can't make their characters look like this. She looks way cuter than pretty much any "realistic" western girl I've seen for years.
Why did it become such a lost art?
Imagine the coomer fairy that would be used to advertise a 3090. No physics optimized pixie cuts required, Full luscious locks. Not just boob but full muscle flexing physics, RTX on skin transparency effects, clothing physics and transparency...
They could make a safe for work coomer fairy that would put most blender porn artists to shame if they wanted to.

Some of those games were bad but they were not bad out of malice. Most of them are sequels or worse, 5-6th games in the series. Victims of industry becoming a conveyor but hardly designed to insult the players unlike modern post-GG vidya that has new IPs and remakes more concerned with letting you know it's not a game for (you) the bigot, rather than making a video game.

>b-but they didn't insult me
how fricking thin-skinned do you have to be that it's not the egregious monetization, not the false advertising, not the rampant casualization and consolization, not the blatant chasing of the lowest common casual Western normalgay denominator that's on the top of your shitlist, not the outright insulting dumbed-down gameplay and attempts at getting you to pay more money, but instead it being "the meanie devs calling me mean words and saying that maybe this game isn't for me ;("
as if games in the past wouldn't roast you if you died or dare you to play another game if you couldn't handle the heat
you're the worst of all of them, you pretend like you give a shit about the ills plaguing vidya, but underneath it all what you really want is to be catered to and be reassured again that you are the main audience, like a b***h that got dumped saying she's over it and doesn't care but will jump on Chad's wiener again in the very instant that the opportunity arises

That's a whole lotta projection. If you haven't noticed industry trends it's your problem. Both Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition are ugly games but the reason they're ugly is different. Can you figure out why? You may find the answer surprising, almost like a revelation about the changes in the industry.

>That's a whole lotta projection.
What projection? You're the one saying you are more upset about the game calling you a doodoo head than with any form of moneygrubbing practices. "Oh, it's not the lootboxes and the pre-order DLC and aggressive unlock systems that upset me, it's because the devs called me a bigot :~~*((".

Thief Deadly Shadows is a classic and was highly praised, especially for The Cradle level.
Fallout 3, Oblivion and Skyrim are all great games in spite of the Bethesda memes.
Far Cry 4 was really good, but it was the peak and perfection of the Ubi open world. Now they're just treading water and can't innovate.
Heavy Rain was pretty interesting and unique when it came out.
I thought Assassin's Creed 3 was alright too. Though it is a weak link between 2 (and its expansions) and Black Flag.

I blame the PS2. They never should've added that fricking DVD player feature
2005-2015 publishers absolutely interfered.
That's why every single game had a main character that looked like their target market, because that was the way to make the most money.
Literal mental illness from some underageb& homosexual that wasn't even alive for the era he claims is "sovl". 7th and 8th gen were corporate as frick and everything was made for the lowest common denominator you fricking cretin.
Blessed Ruby fans. Funny that the latest Quake of all things has a Ruby character skin due to a cross-promotion, must've been the first time they used Ruby in years.
The guys who created trailers like that are the ones who today are called "coomers" by teenagers and young people with lack of testosterone.
Hell, back in the day making that kind of art would get you hired on by companies to start with. More than one guy went to work at id or Epic because he modeled sexy playermodels.
For me it's futuristic looking generic black crap with leds on it
Jk it's all that was in stock locally I hate the design especially the stupid led thing but the fans and backplate cooler design are the best I've come across its completely silent even at 3k fan rpm
Ideally I wish they'd just strap 4 server fans two each side and call it a day
I feel like PC gaming really lost it's soul after the windows 7 era. After that I started seeing more normie friendly pc building videos pop up on youtube. This thread has reminded me I need to finish my windows xp retro build.
Imagine this being a thing you miss. Who the frick cares if some scantily clad prostitute is pictured in a fricking ad? You must be one hell of an incel loser, you incel loser.
I don't care. I have no interest in white knighting for thots. I don't give a frick they don't get jobs selling video games to losers like you anymore.
>Travel back in time >Tell people how graphics cards can simulate real time lighting and everything has improved >What games do you play? >System Shock 2 with higher textures >A lot of new games are remakes of 90's games >We have literally no new ideas that are good holy frick where did we go wrong.
>>A lot of new games are remakes of 90's games
That would actually be okay. The problem is they're all remakes of shit I played like 6 years ago. There used to be like a 50 year gap before they'd think about doing a remake or reboot. These days you can get remakes and reboots being released within a decade of the original. Sony is the worst at this shit. Everyone is jerking off over that Spider-Man mash up film. Nobody seems to think it's fricking embarrassing they did so many reboots so quickly that they actually could do that mashup.
>>What games do you play? >Well, we have massive multiplayer games where 100 players can have a free-for-all on a massive map, graphically amazing shooters where you can pause and see the moment where the life leaves the eyes of an enemy, and some truly impressive advances in AI >But all of this is actually cringe, so I stick to playing stuff like X-COM or Roller Coaster Tycoon
The people who used to make those godly ads are lurking for the right moment.
Microsoft fell for the minimalism meme back with w8 and haven't recovered since. every os has just been a slightly more or less shit version of 7 so far.
>The people who used to make those godly ads are lurking for the right moment.
They are already dead or retired pal. They were old enthusiasts back then and are now replaced by zomies, marketing departments and hire quotas.
We are never going back, deal with it.
Used to watch my dad's friend play Battlezone 2 on one of these. He had drilled plexiglass onto his computer chair to create a space for a flightstick and thruster.
Weird ass dude but I appreciated his boomer style of PC enthusiasm.
This demo is remarkably easy to mod. You can skip the boring intro, enable eye-tracking and create custom keybinds. The nude mod looks moronic, but being able to toggle only the stupid dress is much better
This always blew my mind back in the day and it still looks impressive today. I have that installed just because. I loved both the ati and nvidia demos.
What I'm saying is that both the new demo about that tech and the old one still shit over everything today. It's always because some fricking moron artist does some stupid shit like take a huge scene and cram it into a background bottle or some shit and the team is incompetent.
You guys may think I'm joking but Daz & Iray (the tools used to make shit uncanny-looking WEGs) fully support RTX & other proprietary Nvidia features.
So in a funny way, Nvidia is directly responsible for all the coom-worthy renders we see nowadays.
>support all these features >90% of the fricking shitty renders on this website have flat lighting, dogshit materials and look worse than what a game could do in realtime 20 years ago

this is the only good channel on israelitetube, guy orders rare PC parts from the old days, refurbishes them, retrofits them if needed, OCs the hardware and benchmarks old games. I don't know how he keeps buying old shit and doesn't worry about storage space.
you guys do know that they put that catchy art on there to distract from the minimal upgrades and reused design layouts from the previous iterations right
honestly I'm amazed, to this day, that all these micro-iterations and variations manage to even be worth it financially
there's so many fricking different products, only 5% (probably less) of customers have any idea what the difference is
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE VIDEO GAMES AND RELATED PRODUCTS WITHOUT COOM BAIT. EVERYTHING MUST TRIGGER MY PENIS OR MY REPTILE BRAIN. I WANNA COOOOM... WHERE IS MY COOMBAIT

If I ever buy a GPU again, it's gonna be one with an anime girl on the box. But I probably won't, why would I play modern soulless trash, on a PC of all things.
I miss the old GPU boxes, they had so much fricking soul, pic related was my 2nd video card ever, but 1st one I ever bought with my money. My first video card was a Voodoo2
I like how futuristic tech in the past was marketed with this "edge" to it— in the sense that the new tech was something to be feared and something that isn't friendly, though you could use it. I'm not sure if anyone will get what I mean.

It's faster to scan a bunch of people then make the hair look like shitty clay than to have some actual hard hitters make things look nice.
I genuinely thought stuff like Dawn would be the future of graphics in gaming.
Games never look like tech demos but everyone falls for it. Like today we have people going "oooog unreal engine 5 demo so realistic omg" not realising you want get anything like that in a game for at least a decade or more.

why were redheads so fricking popular in the early 00s
5th element still has a strong aesthetic to this day and I'd like to think it was because of some bombshell actors at the time.
good visual cue on murky CRT
god I wish hot redheads with those short hairstyles return in popularity. Something about redheads in tight leather suits

Due to a shader bug, this demo no longer renders properly. You should pester nvidia about this despite the fact that they let sjws take it off the downloads page.
What's the issue? It looks fine here on a 1650 Super
You are likely running regular dawn and not dawn ultra. The shaders are completely fricked up for normals.
example
Yep, you are right. Can you even boot up Medusa without having it being stretched to oblivion tho?
Unfortunately I do not have the medusa demo installed. I can install it and check.
Interesting fact, Dusk, her little known goth sister is also broken due to using the same shaders and materials
Do you actually know what's causing this? I have noticed the same artifact in a bunch of old games. Both OpenGL and Direct3D.
which games?
it's been an issue for awhile. Newer nvidia drivers 515 and 516 are even more shit. It's a shader issue with the drivers though.

There's a hack to make it run on AMD cards, I was surprised how good a job my old R9 290 did with it. Maybe I should give it another run on my Vega 64.
1650 super is such a based card
based on what?
It's slightly better than a 1060, got it for cheap before the shortage to replace my dead 960. Pretty good indeed.
Coincidentally they basically all sold before the crisis and so everyone remembers them as amazing low wattage 1080p cards bought for very cheap. They're a different chipset to the 1650 reg

While I'm more of a weebshit kind of guy I still don't understand why western devs can't make their characters look like this. She looks way cuter than pretty much any "realistic" western girl I've seen for years.
Why did it become such a lost art?
No idea, it was big in the early 2000s, but it seems they all decided to go realistic and nowadays woke
>[Toadstool clattering]
kek, all modern games have ugly woman now, I wish we could go back
Well yeah, being straight was the norm back then.
Isn't it bad for your joints to do the right pic?
Even walking is bad for your joints if you look like right pic.
so can anyone rip this model to blender?
I'm sure someone already did it

yeah I remember you could just edit some files and get her nipples in the demo, they were always there
wait how is geocities still alive.
it's an archival project

Imagine the coomer fairy that would be used to advertise a 3090. No physics optimized pixie cuts required, Full luscious locks. Not just boob but full muscle flexing physics, RTX on skin transparency effects, clothing physics and transparency...
They could make a safe for work coomer fairy that would put most blender porn artists to shame if they wanted to.
nah bro let's just go with this star wars everything-is-a-mirror shit, people love star wars and reflections
Ah, my first gpu for my computer, nvidia 6800. Nalu demo was amazing
Still is, uses a frickton of effects missing in today's games.
It looked like a futuristic PS2 game
>tfw 2006

>boomers don't fap to little mermaid
They don't know what they are missing
oh well. they're probably drowning in alimony right now while you're living your life as you see fit.
I know there’s a nice mod for the fairy, but is there one for Nalu?
there's always one
Yes. I want a fae gf
>not browsing geocities like its 1995

nvidia should've been making porn games under a pseudonym all along
This was made 19 years ago and it's better then most modern AAA protagonists, what the frick.
gaming used to have soul
Yes. It's all contained in the image listed for boomers. Look at those hundreds of unique characters compared to an entire grid of generic fricking guy.
The irony is you can blame gamergate for the fall
No, the collapse started well before the leftist boogeyman.
The collapse started in 2016. GG was 2015. Normies flooding into game was a result of all the media attention GG had.
The collapse started well before 2016, newbie.
go on, say that again
Tomb Raider 2013 and Far Cry 4 really aren't that bad.
Maybe it's because I pirated both, or because they were mediocre games used for PC benchmarks for the time, but I don't consider them trash.
oof
OOF
killed me
Some of those games were bad but they were not bad out of malice. Most of them are sequels or worse, 5-6th games in the series. Victims of industry becoming a conveyor but hardly designed to insult the players unlike modern post-GG vidya that has new IPs and remakes more concerned with letting you know it's not a game for (you) the bigot, rather than making a video game.
>b-but they didn't insult me
how fricking thin-skinned do you have to be that it's not the egregious monetization, not the false advertising, not the rampant casualization and consolization, not the blatant chasing of the lowest common casual Western normalgay denominator that's on the top of your shitlist, not the outright insulting dumbed-down gameplay and attempts at getting you to pay more money, but instead it being "the meanie devs calling me mean words and saying that maybe this game isn't for me ;("
as if games in the past wouldn't roast you if you died or dare you to play another game if you couldn't handle the heat
you're the worst of all of them, you pretend like you give a shit about the ills plaguing vidya, but underneath it all what you really want is to be catered to and be reassured again that you are the main audience, like a b***h that got dumped saying she's over it and doesn't care but will jump on Chad's wiener again in the very instant that the opportunity arises
That's a whole lotta projection. If you haven't noticed industry trends it's your problem. Both Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition are ugly games but the reason they're ugly is different. Can you figure out why? You may find the answer surprising, almost like a revelation about the changes in the industry.
>That's a whole lotta projection.
What projection? You're the one saying you are more upset about the game calling you a doodoo head than with any form of moneygrubbing practices. "Oh, it's not the lootboxes and the pre-order DLC and aggressive unlock systems that upset me, it's because the devs called me a bigot :~~*((". Please, enlighten us how you are actually so different and not a b***h secretly hungry for affirmation.
>calls others thin-skinned
>proceeds to type this entire tirade
Amazing.
Thief 3 isn't that bad
I agree on console but midus magic made oblivion a 10/10 for me just force pushing fricking everything.
Sim City was and still is a better game than Cities Skylines. Shame the limited size and always online killed the series off.
Thief Deadly Shadows is a classic and was highly praised, especially for The Cradle level.
Fallout 3, Oblivion and Skyrim are all great games in spite of the Bethesda memes.
Far Cry 4 was really good, but it was the peak and perfection of the Ubi open world. Now they're just treading water and can't innovate.
Heavy Rain was pretty interesting and unique when it came out.
I thought Assassin's Creed 3 was alright too. Though it is a weak link between 2 (and its expansions) and Black Flag.
and all are objectively badly written games, with subpar gameplay on top of that.
no matter how you praise a pile of shit, it will stay a pile of shit forever.
I never understood why people shit on Deadly Shadows and yes I had already played first two game by the time it came out. Thief 4 sucks though.
Greetings newbie.
it was more 2012.
GG didn't cause it however it was used to push it as the homosexual shit was being pushed into everything at the same time and GG was a coincidence that happened at the right time for them.
holy newbies, the true flood was the Xbox 360 er PS2 er ps1
I blame the PS2. They never should've added that fricking DVD player feature
>who made this didn't know the name of Red Eagle's driver
minor thing to get mad about but yes I'm mad
2005-2015 publishers absolutely interfered.
That's why every single game had a main character that looked like their target market, because that was the way to make the most money.
>target market
>gets targeted to be marketed
WOOOAAAAAAH
you must be the biggest IQ gorilla Black person in the ghetto
Literal mental illness from some underageb& homosexual that wasn't even alive for the era he claims is "sovl". 7th and 8th gen were corporate as frick and everything was made for the lowest common denominator you fricking cretin.
It's only 10 years old
For me it's Ruby, ATI mascot
Blessed Ruby fans. Funny that the latest Quake of all things has a Ruby character skin due to a cross-promotion, must've been the first time they used Ruby in years.
Hell, back in the day making that kind of art would get you hired on by companies to start with. More than one guy went to work at id or Epic because he modeled sexy playermodels.
woulda never known since they did very little for that game in terms of favors
Looks amazing for 2003
Yup, I would have 100% jacked off to this back in the day. God damn she's hot and that's a very impressive character model for 2003.
>get the mermaid demo
>apply nude mod
*sip*
I prefer the vanilla look. I mostly just am the deep sea orchestra music enjoyer.
Hair still sucks in most games. Most decent case of game hair was probably elden ring.
>*gets eaten by a toad*
I was unironically an ATigay because I didn't want a fricking fairy on my videocard
how do i open up the settings for the demo
? i cant even find the controls?
Nvidia's luna demo still has shit games lack today. Barely see the good shit in games now because it's all cheap and on the same 3 engines.
For me it's futuristic looking generic black crap with leds on it
Jk it's all that was in stock locally I hate the design especially the stupid led thing but the fans and backplate cooler design are the best I've come across its completely silent even at 3k fan rpm
Ideally I wish they'd just strap 4 server fans two each side and call it a day

I feel like PC gaming really lost it's soul after the windows 7 era. After that I started seeing more normie friendly pc building videos pop up on youtube. This thread has reminded me I need to finish my windows xp retro build.
>They don't know that sprites inhabit all graphics cards and are imprisoned within the silicon
I miss old gaming ads where "sexualized girls" were the norm.
Imagine this being a thing you miss. Who the frick cares if some scantily clad prostitute is pictured in a fricking ad? You must be one hell of an incel loser, you incel loser.
the point is stuff like that is removed along with gamer girls at e3 because landwhales didn't like it.
I don't care. I have no interest in white knighting for thots. I don't give a frick they don't get jobs selling video games to losers like you anymore.
SOULLESS ZOOMIE homie
yeah they get jobs selling to winnie the pooh instead before getting dumped and sent to mcdonalds to flip burgers or wait tablers lol
Should have got married then. If she was prime ass enough to be a model then she was prime ass enough to catch a good man.
nah, that system is highly rigged especially now. Just get a fwb and play it safe
>Who the frick cares if some scantily clad prostitute is pictured in a fricking ad
Clearly you do since you're mad as frick, lmfao
the golden era:
I really miss all this high tech futuristic marketing shit, nowadays cards are marketed as "uh you plug on PC and get very high fps and RGB"
It's not futuristic anymore because that marketed future is present today.
>Travel back in time
>Tell people how graphics cards can simulate real time lighting and everything has improved
>What games do you play?
>System Shock 2 with higher textures
>A lot of new games are remakes of 90's games
>We have literally no new ideas that are good holy frick where did we go wrong.
>>A lot of new games are remakes of 90's games
That would actually be okay. The problem is they're all remakes of shit I played like 6 years ago. There used to be like a 50 year gap before they'd think about doing a remake or reboot. These days you can get remakes and reboots being released within a decade of the original. Sony is the worst at this shit. Everyone is jerking off over that Spider-Man mash up film. Nobody seems to think it's fricking embarrassing they did so many reboots so quickly that they actually could do that mashup.
Sony does remakes of remakes and charges full price again. On PC it's called just downloading it on a more powerful PC and turning up the settings.
Not only are the SHIT remakes but they frick up content and outright miss key details from their reference material.
>>What games do you play?
>Well, we have massive multiplayer games where 100 players can have a free-for-all on a massive map, graphically amazing shooters where you can pause and see the moment where the life leaves the eyes of an enemy, and some truly impressive advances in AI
>But all of this is actually cringe, so I stick to playing stuff like X-COM or Roller Coaster Tycoon
>Tell people how graphics cards can simulate real time lighting and everything has improved
>cool, how many games can pull it off?
>none
>>Tell people how graphics cards can simulate real time lighting and everything has improved

The people who used to make those godly ads are lurking for the right moment.
Microsoft fell for the minimalism meme back with w8 and haven't recovered since. every os has just been a slightly more or less shit version of 7 so far.
>The people who used to make those godly ads are lurking for the right moment.
They are already dead or retired pal. They were old enthusiasts back then and are now replaced by zomies, marketing departments and hire quotas.
We are never going back, deal with it.
Used to watch my dad's friend play Battlezone 2 on one of these. He had drilled plexiglass onto his computer chair to create a space for a flightstick and thruster.
Weird ass dude but I appreciated his boomer style of PC enthusiasm.
my first gpu was a voodoo2 and I remember playing quake 2 all day with it. didn't build PCs at the time but it plugged into an IBM tower fine.
I am very drunk and watching 3DMark demos from the Earl 2000s.
watch the Nvidia Luna tech demo, I remember it being a trip and a half
I remember watching that demo with my dad after he installed a new card. Good times.
Hnnnng
SOVL
soulless
This game is actually pretty underrated and there is a cute tomboy goat girl in it and many other things.

Can I play as a girl fairy with a short leaf skirt?
You make your character. And yes to your question.
Holy shit I remember trying the demo of this like 10 years ago on my 360.
the game gets better once you start to figure things out and if a fight is worth duking it out on or solving without fighting.
The logo looks like a backwards swastika
I will now buy your game.
PC Format magazine November 2004 cover - this is quite tame compared to some of the covers the used
>great graphics for £150
It was pretty good actually. Handled some things well that card did
shaders matter a ton
how hard is it to rip the demo, can't you just use ghidra decompiler
homie the files are literally raw opengl and generic card format files
then why isn't it rippled for me, do it ya b***h
>tfw no fairy gf
It's not fricking fair bros, where's my Crysta GF?
I will now buy power
YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER Ganker
WHY DIDN'T YOU RIP THE MODEL
You can still get the tech demos. You can still get the nude mods for the tech demos.
Her butthole must smell like cherries
>FULLY TEXTURED
This demo is remarkably easy to mod. You can skip the boring intro, enable eye-tracking and create custom keybinds. The nude mod looks moronic, but being able to toggle only the stupid dress is much better
How about they just put both a sexy girl and a sexy guy on the front so everybody is happy, worked for the Aquaman movie
whenever i'd go to Fry's to dawdle and gawk i'd always fondle this gpu box

I'm on an nvidia card too kek
This always blew my mind back in the day and it still looks impressive today. I have that installed just because. I loved both the ati and nvidia demos.
video card?
>tiny ass demo from early early 2000s with some fricking sphere still has better visuals than some games today
gaming sucks now artwise. it's all oversized scans and other shit to try to cover up how lazy things were or foliage spam and scans.
At least compare it to a modern-ish demo
why the frick would I do that? The old demo is already kicking new shit's ass. The new one is just a fatality.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug I see.
What I'm saying is that both the new demo about that tech and the old one still shit over everything today. It's always because some fricking moron artist does some stupid shit like take a huge scene and cram it into a background bottle or some shit and the team is incompetent.
she fricks human men
There's something about fairies that makes my pp weird
Anyone have HQ artwork of this girl?
I installed the nude mode and used to jack off t this a lot.
This brings me back
reminds me of when I was running a 1080 on two power supplies during the lockdowns
this made millennials shit and piss their pants in fear in current year
I watched all of the girl videos in Yakooza 0

do you know whos the specific jav actress in here?
Just check the wiki page, all the girls should be on there
i dont even know or play the game dude.
i just need to know the one in that tv clip

thanks!
sad her jav looks like ass though
t. millennial and those videos gave me a solid chub. Collected all the telephone cards too.

There are people ITT who don't remember this demo

Yes
>some zoomie moron will make a video on these cards while being passive aggressive about their content in a few weeks
You guys may think I'm joking but Daz & Iray (the tools used to make shit uncanny-looking WEGs) fully support RTX & other proprietary Nvidia features.
So in a funny way, Nvidia is directly responsible for all the coom-worthy renders we see nowadays.
>support all these features
>90% of the fricking shitty renders on this website have flat lighting, dogshit materials and look worse than what a game could do in realtime 20 years ago
frick daz
I remember my friend being so excited for his 16th birthday that his step dad bought him a $700 graphics card it was the 512MB radeon pro LMAO
now looking back that was a fricking waste of money and there was frick all games back then and it still struggled to play future games.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-x1950-pro-agp.c191
you fricking zoomers, you don't how painful tech was back then and how price/performance we were getting raped from
>Heh, you think you can get me to buy your card by having a pair of elf breasts on the cover? Gonna have to do better than tha--
this is the only good channel on israelitetube, guy orders rare PC parts from the old days, refurbishes them, retrofits them if needed, OCs the hardware and benchmarks old games. I don't know how he keeps buying old shit and doesn't worry about storage space.
For me? The fire spirit, of course.
3dfx really dropped the ball. All of the balls.
For me? The jet turbine card.
Posting my favorites.
for me, it's the 8800 GT
i still have the box tucked away somewhere
Same for my 9800GTX+.
FRICK i forgot the image
Still got a 9600GT that works, but the cooler blower sounds like a jet engine.
Man, it would be nice to see more hot fairy girl on the next benchmark
you guys do know that they put that catchy art on there to distract from the minimal upgrades and reused design layouts from the previous iterations right
honestly I'm amazed, to this day, that all these micro-iterations and variations manage to even be worth it financially
there's so many fricking different products, only 5% (probably less) of customers have any idea what the difference is
Less talky more posty sexy fairy
wheres the fairy in your picrel, homosexual?
i wanna shrink myself smaller than her so she can be a giantess
it's the nose for me.
Why is she so smug?
Because she's the ultimate wiener tease. She's too small to frick.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE VIDEO GAMES AND RELATED PRODUCTS WITHOUT COOM BAIT. EVERYTHING MUST TRIGGER MY PENIS OR MY REPTILE BRAIN. I WANNA COOOOM... WHERE IS MY COOMBAIT

sorry your college professor convinced you that boobs were evil, anon. hope your therapist can help you work through this abnormality some day.
Hope she notices you little bro
>Bunch of modern ai generated anime girls sketched up in 10 minutes.
Now THAT is soul.
If I ever buy a GPU again, it's gonna be one with an anime girl on the box. But I probably won't, why would I play modern soulless trash, on a PC of all things.
leo wasn't a thing back then.
this is a video card sold only in europe in 2008/2009 according to amazon
How do you do, fellow faerie sexuals?
so, when are the 4000 series GPUs coming out? I have a 3070 and don't need it, but it also means price drops.
>Feminists took over everything just when we were approaching realistic graphics to make the perfect ladies
It's not fair bros
It was not a coincidence
>feminists
Oh how wrong you are.
Games with that aesthetic? I want some western fantasy before all the women became ugly.
They used to get around. So did ut2k4 characters.
I wonder who was the crazy motherfricker who keyframed all this shit.
Oh man, I remember this. MTV Video mods was so sick. Star Wars Take Me Out was the GOAT
Yeah, we lost some funny and fun stuff
I miss the old GPU boxes, they had so much fricking soul, pic related was my 2nd video card ever, but 1st one I ever bought with my money. My first video card was a Voodoo2
I like how futuristic tech in the past was marketed with this "edge" to it— in the sense that the new tech was something to be feared and something that isn't friendly, though you could use it. I'm not sure if anyone will get what I mean.
>new tech was something to be feared and something that isn't friendly, though you could use it.
it's not in the marketing but when I think about my electricity bill, new tech is still something to be feared.
What, you think you're good enough for the Blazing Fast Speed of DSL Internet? Pfft, I'd like to see you try!
Nvidia should come back with this marketing, because if the leaks are true then 4000 series isn't friendly and has to be feared
Maybe I'm having a stroke, but isn't there a game where you play as a pixie and go around pranking people?
Sounds pretty fun. Hope it actualy does exist.
Maybe I'm actually thinking of Deracine.
only pixie-game I know of is Zanzarah.
Bought in July 2010, died in December 2019. She served me well.
The all time goat
though she was blasting piss with her oversized futawiener in the thumbnail
So gpus don't do the old soulless model on the box art anymore?
Do they put some chink mining instead of some Dragon?
