Thoughts about Second Sight

Isn't anybody else judging the card's performance before
actually seeing it? Who is talking about a possible Doom or
whatsoever with SS? I feel people should be a bit more down to
earth concerning SS...

Because many (too many) GS users tend to think with SS their GS
would finally become something like a 486 PC! As we both know,
this is WRONG!

Hey, I am not negative about the GS (I LOVE this damn machine),
I am a bit negative about the Second Sight board. I simply doubt
that there will ever be any super duper specific SS apps or
games. I absolutely hope that I am wrong, so the opposite will
happen and I may finally buy the card someday. As I wrote, it is
a NEW piece of GS hardware, so lets see what happens... On the
other hand, I still think the TurboRez might have been the
better GS gfx engine, but since its production was suspended, we
can forget talking about this nifty piece of GS vapoware
anymore.

I am a pessimist, ok. Now, PLEASE SHOW ME THAT I WAS WRONG!!!
(Otherwise, we will talk about this in a year?)
