Most people buy 3D cards to play games. If the cards that
they buy can play the games that they want to play then what
does it matter whether or not they get decent framerates in
some parts of 3DMark05?
Believe or not, but there are people who are buying new 3D
cards just to get good score in 3DMark, no matter if their
games are already playing nicely on maximun details etc.
They just want to possess the latest tech stuff.
I'm not saying that I would fully understand that, but I guess
it's pretty same deal as with tuning a car... And a good thing
for us low-end consumers too to have pioneers like that
stomping down the prices :-)

They're called "early adopters", at least that's waht they called it in
college marketing or business courses. I figured I am kind of one of them
with certain things. I manily wanted an upgrade to play Doom 3 and Half-Life
2. Well got an X800 Pro because that's all I could find as XT PE's are
pretty much harder to find than a wookie's underwear. Well finally got my
X800 XT PE just several weeks ago (after a big Best Buy fiasco), and now
realized that Doom 3 and HL2 played just fine. Should have just kept the Pro
and saved a few bucks. Oh well, it's one of those things... |
