I found it for $425 on www.pricewatch.com. The Elsa Gladiac the fullsail
people are using looks to be almost $100 more, so I just was wondering why
they went that route. Everything I can find shows these cards to be
virtually identical, although different manufacturers. Both are based on
geforce II ultra.
The Cosm team is targeting our work for the GeForce II with 32 MB memory as
a "standard" card a year from now.... with a TNT Ultra/Geforce256 generation
as a "Minimum standard requiring some options to be disabled" card.
But for myself. The ultra looks like a really nice card. In reality the
ultra is only getting me a sllightly higher pixel/texel/triangle rate from
what I can see. The extra memory can never hurt. I am torn. Part of me
wants to get the exact card we are "targetting". The other part of me sees
this sweet card and wants it :)
Course if I buy this card the team will probably get tired of me saying "You
are getting 8 fps? Hmmm, well on my development machine I am getting 80,
wonder what the issue is?"
hehe
