Re "Now go buy yourself a $30 video card ($20 after mail-in rebate) and quit being, er, Cynical."
The point is many of us have 6 and 7 series cards that are said to be HD capable, that we have already invested in, we merely await
the nix HD drivers...
Why has NVIDIA seemingly skipped drivers for these HD capable cards?
Sometimes the mere $20 cost is not that simple, for example a whole new motherboard may also be required, to also change from AGP to
PCI16.
This has a smell of buy another....and maybe we'll release the other drivers in due course, when you've invested twice in NVIDIA,
for one purpose....
Kaching. Thank you!
Perhaps it is just a few of us who do not want to invest in further kit, when we have already got kit that should do the job. (At
any price)
Somehow I don't think it is just a few of us who feel this way, indeed I think an issue should be made of this with NVIDIA.
Kind regards
David
