EVE: The Second Genesis Performance
Eve has a very unique graphical style which is sleek and elegant. The space scenes and structures look great, but another nice graphical element is the use of in-game translucent windows which manage your character. Even though windows are on your screen displaying data, you can still see through to the action going on around you. Anand's take on it was that it looks just like the linux desktop, but you can decide that for yourself.
We can see that the 50% performance gain NV40 exerts over NV38 puts it right on par with ATI's flagship card. This is the first time we've seen anything come close to the NVIDIA beast, but when 4xAA and 8xAF are enabled, we quickly see the scaling advantage of the GeForce 6800 Ultra rear its head.

looks awesome congrats to nvidia on raising the bar!personally i don't game very much, and the only reason my Geforce2 was replaced was for the dual-heads of the Radeon 9000
but as an enthusiast, any leaps make me excited :p
can't want to see ATIs new cards

Damn, two independant cable lines and a 480W PSU. Good thing it kills in performance, but still too pricey for me. Bring on the 6800XT for us broke people :P.KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, April 14, 2004 - link
