Hey, all of their ET6000-series were "good" workstation cards.

Yeah, I still remember Tseng Labs was a good '2D' card to be partnered with 3dfx cards.

G70 is 110nm, not 130nm. And there was no separate NV40U, they were just speed binned NV40s. Nice article!

I don't know if it has been already suggested but the thread is too long and you know

Sorry if it has

How 'bout putting the power consumption figures along with the rest of the data in the GPU Comparison Guide.

You know, these days a new gfx card may require a new and stronger PSU, like the difference between 6600GT and 9800pro is really significant for people who just want to upgrade their old Presarios and Dimensions with silly 250W PSUs to something stronger than built-in desktop graphics. I know for fact that 9800pro is fully capable of working in such poor environment but a 6600GT is NOT.
Lots of people don't know that, agree???

I wish this had platform information as well. It's hard to find comparison information on cards compatible with Mac.

Power consumption and platform information sound like good ideas to include in the next update. Well, the NEXT next update since we are almost done with the next update!
