Ole Duck4Ever. :lol

And most people gave romero a hard time for being so late with his game, wonder how people will react if duck4 ever does come out. Last screenshots we saw were just after the change from the q2 engine to the unreal engine. Maybe they're waiting on the Unreal 7 engine.

"BitBoys have finally shown the public an actual piece of hardware! Keeping with tradition though, the card is not slated for volume production due to the cancellation of the embedded DRAM fabrication line by Infineon."

Yea, what exactly are we looking at? A whole computer built on a single AGP card?

You gentlemen have never heard of the Bitboys? Image

These dudes have been promising to comeout with a super videocard for years. Every time something comes up and it doesn't appear. Just excuse after bs excuse. And every time another videocard company comes out with a new top performing videocard, Bitboys comes out with specs to beat it. Hence their Vaporware label.

Obviously they've suckered in some deep pocketed investors to keep the money flowing. But one of these days its going to stop. :p

I hear ya Greg, why bother with these guys.

One final link before this sorry state of affairs disappears:
BitBoys Lay Their Cards on the Table: No Graphics Cards to Appear

----------

Will Bitboys fanboys eat crow? Nah. They have enjoyed sniffing the vapors for too long to do otherwise. Why stop now? No doubt they have a long list of excuses why its not Bitboys fault for coming out with a card. :d odgy: In the long run, whatever the circumstances, it doesn't mean squat cause now everyone knows they won't ever be a Bitboys videocard out.

Looks like the deep pocketed investors finally got wise. The dream is dead Bitboys fanboys. Smell the vapour before it dissipates.
