    Press Release:

    ABSOLUTE LAUNCHES GeFORCE3 SOLUTION!

    Graphics specialist, 3DPower Ltd has just announced the first GeForce3 based graphics accelerator to hit the market – the Outrageous GeForce3 graphic accelerator card.

    The Outrageous 3D GeForce3 is the fastest ever - up to 100 times faster than GeForce2 solutions according to the latest benchmarks. The stunning new Lightspeed Memory Architecture from nVIDIA generates the blazing power behind the GeForce3 GPU, delivering earth-shattering performance at all resolutions enabling you to rip though graphical applications like never before. The Outrageous 3D GeForce 3 incorporates 64Mb of lightning fast 3.8ns DDR memory effectively operating at 460 MHz to generate 3D performance with up to 3.2gigatexels per second.

    For the real speed freaks, the Outrageous GeForce3 includes a tested high performance gaming fan - the “ICE CUBE” - and RAM heatsinks! This new fan will keep your graphic chip cooler than conventional fans and together with the RAM heatsinks increases your Outrageous 3D GeForce3 overclockability.

    Users will experience a virtually infinite number of special effects via the Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader in the nFiniteFX engine technology recently licensed by nVIDIA to Microsoft for DirectX 8. These new features offer an unprecedented boost in rendering quality. You’ll witness more realistic and detailed character movement. Characters can now show facial emotion, materials can stretch and scenes come alive! Characters can now have facial hair and blemishes, golf balls dimples, and wood exhibits texture and grain. Spectacular effects that are so realistic you’ll swear you were actually there!

    And all this with no more pixel edges even at high resolutions! The high-resolution antialiasing feature (HRAA) in the Outrageous 3D GeForce3 produces the best visual quality and performance for all applications.

    In addition to stunning performance with a PC monitor, the Outrageous 3D Geforce3 TV-out feature allows you to easily connect your graphics card to either composite or S-video connectors on your TV. Experience big-screen gaming on your TV! Or play DVD movies on your TV or monitor with the DVD player software included.

    We know nothing about this card as of yet, except for the picture we were able to post. We will update with more info when we get it, we do see that the card sports memory heatsinks though.

    Update: 5/18/01 Looks like AbsoluteMM hasn't made a change in their price, hopefully they will do so. By purchasing their card VIA their website, you can also choose a free game between Drakan, Heretic II, Descent 3, Theif, Half Life, MDK 2, Soldier Of Fortune, WinDVD 2000, or Icewind Dale. It looks like Absolute is going for the overclockers with this one, as they state this on their website: "For the real speed freaks, the Outrageous GeForce3 includes a tested high performance gaming fan - the “ICE CUBE” - and RAM heatsinks! This new fan will keep your graphic chip cooler than conventional fans and together with the RAM heatsinks increases your Outrageous 3D GeForce3 overclockability."
