Just spotted this @ Futuremark.com: I just got my hands on a list of magazines that will have 3DMark03 (free version) on their mag cover CD this month.

I noticed @ Komplett.co.uk that ASUS V9990 GeForce FX 5800 Ultra and Non-Ultra model is now available on pre-order. The stock date is yet unconfirmed though. The price? £256.99 inc VAT for Non-Ultra model and £323.17 for Ultra model. This makes a welcome change from the pre-order prices of Gainward Geforce FX which are much higher at this time.

Here's a post I spotted over @ Futuremark's Forum! Posted by Prodigy with photo's:

Hi guys.....Got hold of a Geforce FX today but I don't know whether it's the ultra or not. I'm not wanting to put the card in because to be honest I'm happy with my current card - I'll just give this card (for a small fee) to a friend. I want to know whether it's the ultra or regular though without firing it up (because I don't want to mess up my ATI drivers.

Just spotted this @ 3dchipset.com posted by G`Rilla !

OK, it is time to step up to the plate and take a wee swing at some of the "stuff" that is being said about 3DMark03 by variuos folks and various corporate entities! Before I get going though, let's be very clear as to where my comments are coming from. I am certainly NOT an "expert" in judging the efficiency of rendering techniques, hardware design or game code optimization. But, I can read and I can see one real problem with the critiques of 3DMark03. Not that the authors have made technical errors, as I just noted, I am not really in a position to argue on that front. As you will see, that does not matter in the end.

Following on from our first announcement! I'll post it again just in case you missed it....As you know? we're looking for new ways to raise money for Warp2's hosting cost! 1,600 GB of traffic leaves a big hole in our pocket every month. So we've been checking out some new services that will help us to do that. I've been speaking to BT this morning! Open to UK residents only @ the moment.

So if you're looking to get ADSL and don't mind getting it from Warp2 for £22.50 inc VAT per month for the 512K service then post your comments here. Watch out AOL? Hehe, they charge £27.99 per month.

Well it's taken a bit of time chatting with BT to get a deal... and we're nearly there? Click Read More for what you get with our 512k ADSL Service.

Nvidia's Earnings Conference Call is about to begin click here to listen in.

NVIDIA Corporation designs, develops and markets graphics and media communication processors and related software for personal computers (PCs), workstations and digital entertainment platforms. The Company provides an architecturally compatible top-to-bottom family of performance 3-D graphics processors and graphics processing units (GPUs) that set the standard for performance, quality and features for a broad range of desktop PCs.

Just a quick note, I've just updated our web links, there are now 91 links in our 8 catagories, thanks to everyone who submitted the 10 amazing new links I've just added.

Due some technical problems we had a downtime of 2.5 hours but we have fixed the problem. My very big thank you goes to Mike and FlashBuster over @ MikeMTH for their quick help and support. If you want to say thank you to Mike, just visit his website. ;-)

Visit Mike!

It would appear, if the countdown is consistant, that 3DMark 03 will be with us at 6pm on tuesdsay (UK time). The first digit takes about 50000 seconds to count down by 1. At the time of writng this (about 12.35pm) there were about 21200000 units left. This equates to 106000 seconds or 1.2268 days, or 29.44 hours. This works out to be 6pm tuesday give or take a few mins !

The poll has an end and it's a more than disappointing result for the Nvidia GeForce FX.
2373 of 2788 people voted with a negative result for the card, the rest is still interested.
That must be more than a warning shoot for Nvidia. We will see how they will react in the future.

And again we have another poll, today we want to ask you what you think about Unreal II. I am looking forward to your votes!

Having just noticed Newsfactory post about how much the Ultra version of Geforce FX (from Gainward) will cost in the UK. I thought I will let you know where you can get a good card NOW for nearly half the price of that Ultra Geforce FX model.

The Gainward FX Ultra is now on pre-order sale for £431.34 inc VAT - that's $710.50 USD!!! Maybe its worth it, I let you make that decision but on this page you can get a Radeon 9700 Pro for £232.64 inc VAT & Delivery NOW. Please let me know if you find a cheaper one.

This is for all our UK readers! I was just checking out some of the bigger online retailers to see who's listing the GeForce FX 5800 or GeForce FX 5800 Ultra. Boy this is rip-off Britain @ it's best! Here's what Komplett.co.uk is charging and these boy's are one of the cheapest in the UK plus here's what you would pay if you live in the States @ Bestbuy.com $399.99 dollars and that's £266.88 Pounds is someone taking the P***.

Gainward GeForce FX 5800 128MB DDR2 AGP, "Ultra/800 Plus GS", Retail @ GBP 329.42 inc. VAT

So what we need are some moderators to turn the forums into a kick ass experience. If you're interested get yourselves registered and post some details about yourselves and then the forum members will vote to who they want to moderate the forum... We Need YOU

I want to talk to some webmasters tonight, especially to our good friend over at "FileConnect.Net".

Stop that stealing news from our and other sites and post it as your own story with a "thx to this submission" or something else.
What the community of websites does all the time is using news from other sites and of course with sources because it´s fair and an acknowledgment about the work of the other sites. What you do is more than lame, it´s sad. You don´t have respect about the hard work of other webmasters and editors and the time these guys are putting in their work.
You are using other people work for your own without respect.

I have talked to a lot of other webmaster and I also receive tons of emails from loyal Warp2Search readers about this issue.
We have marked our news with some small typos and other thinks and I always find them on your site. Last time our newposter NewsFactory send a word about this issue in one of his news you talked to me and you asked me if I wanted war !

And that´s the most childrish and lame aspect in this issue. If you are not able to make your own style and post your own articles and reports, close your site and a lot of webmasters out here are happy.

Oh, btw if you want to start some actions against this site or editors of this site, i have allready given this problem to my lawyer.

Sorry about that. Seems that there was a small error with our database which is now fixed.

Ok peeps the price has been confirmed for the Warp2Search Buyers Club Plasma Offer! We have 2 buyers. We need 3 more for the deal. Click here for details!

The cheapest you could find this deal on the net, in the UK will be £2999 + vat + delivery and one year warranty. The deal gives you a three years warranty, a saving of another £500 and if you would like to see more offers from Thomson Multimedia hit the link above and check out their website and post in the forum what you would like to see eg: TV's, DVD's players , LCD's , MP3 players and a lot lot more.

After the heavy response for the Trillian RSS feed plugin and if it works with Warp2Search, we decided to give you more information than only news and we created some more feeds you maybe are interested in.

Click Read More for detailed information about Trillian, KlipFolio and the RSS feed.

I was asked by a lot of people if we support the RSS plugin in Trillian. Please enter the following url for the RSS fíle in your Trillian tool: www.warp2search.net/backend.php This file generates a RSS feed and maybe it works with Trillian. Please let me know if it works, I can not test it beacause I do not use Trillian Pro. For the other guys who want to have the latest Warp2Search news on their desktop, please try out KlipFolio!

Big thanks to Alan Seal from Thomson Multimedia ! He's the UK sales manager for the plasma dDisplay and LCD divisions and he's the one that put the deal together for the Warp2Search Buyers Club! One of his clients has access stock of the Thomson 42WP94E plasma display about 60 screens to be precise. Well we only need 5 buyers for this product...

Ok Peeps if you check out this Thread Hercules Radeon 9700 Price ! Warp2search Buyers Club! Degger and by request feels this is not a Genuine Deal and not good enough of a deal for the Warp2search Buyers Club as we had 120 plus buyers for this card! So the offer has been cancelled.

As this is a learning experience for all of us there's one thing about it: If it's not a genuine deal it won't make to the Warp2search Buyers Club! So stayed tuned for more offers.

So if there's any manufactures out there that would like to do a deal on 120+ ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Cards! Please contact Degger@Warp2Search.com.

Hi Everybody,
I am very excited to join as newsposter and moderator on Warp2Search. See ya all in forums.
KYRO.

Hi Folks, just a quick note to all of your that I am still around and will resume normal posting within two weeks from now. I'm currently busy with my nursing exams so there is little time to be around and gather the hottest news for you. Also there are some reviews in the making with hot products from Lian Li, Compex, Icemat, Lexmark and others. Stay clean and take care for the time being. Rancho*

OK Peeps just had a email from a US distributor that says if I can find 1000 of our USA bro's to sign up to buying a new Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz they will supply you it at cost plus 4 dollars adim charge plus shipping and Tax. More details to follow as it's a Bank Holiday here in the UK, and am off to the Nottinghill carnival! Hehe

If like me your always looking for Great Deals on PC Parts! like this deal on AMD's Athlon XP XP1800+ 1.53 GHz 266 MHz bus Socket A (Palomino) processor (OEM) it's going for £49 inc Vat or this deal on Inno3D's GeForce4 Ti4200 64Mb DDR DVI TV-Out AGP for £98 inc Vat but the only problem I got , is that I need to buy 50 AMD's CPU and 15 Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 to get the deals! LOL so that where the Warp2search Buyers Club comes in, all products shipped individually.

So the idea is setting up a buyers club for the latest hardware or that just been discontinued hardware where I will post the latest deal on hardware from Manufactures distributors Resellers or if we get enough Peeps saying I want a ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and we will go hunting , to track down a deal. but to start with! these deals are for EU residents only but we will be working on adding more Regions! Post your comment here and before I forget Manufactures distributors Resellers that are Interested in supplying Products to the Warp2search Buyers Club! send emails to Rancho*

After some heavy and busy days we are now back!
We would like to thank Mike for his great support to bring Warp2Search back. It will take some time to restore all files and settings after this brutal attack so if you find some errors please stay tuned we working on it. Also today we started legal steps against the attackers, we keep you informed what will happen. Have fun on W2S.

Our files are back! Happy downloading.
