Jedimaster74 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I am just wondering if anyone is going to upgrade or get a geforce 4 just for JK2? If not what card are you planning on upgrading to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark747 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Nope, I upgraded in Nov. to a ATI Radeon 8500, but if I hadn't I probably would. Next to upgrade is the mobo, cpu and ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipe Smoke Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I got a Geforce 4 for JK2 primarily. Also Morrowind. HOWEVER It's a freaking MX, so... it doesn't really count. But, before this I had a 32 meg geforce 2 gts... like, the first geforce 2 that was even available, the elsa gladiac. now i've got double the video memory and, it is certainly a fair bit better than what I had. But... how well JK2 will run and especially Morrowind, is very much in doubt still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithcloak Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 No, but i might. Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Now how do i raise the money? Well maybe i could ... Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxdart Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I upgraded specifically for JK2, but the 'real' (read: Ti series) GeForce4's hadn't hit yet, so I got a 3 instead. Wanted to upgraded the processor as well, but it would have required new motherboard/RAM/case as well, so I'm holding off on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobes Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The GeForce 4 that doesn't really have too much of an edge on the already-established GeForce 3? I'm not. I use a GeForce 2 GTS 64 meg, and it's still runs fine for everything I play. GeForce 4 must be quite expensive.. that's quite dedicated for just a game. Heh. Still understandable I guess, but will it really yield a greater visual experience? If you're still deciding, I'd buy the game, try it on what you have now, and then decide whether you need a GeForce 4. Not sure about just going out and buying one before you know if it will make a change or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0MBER II Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 If you got a GF3 or a ATI 8500, getting a GF4 is ABSURD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke101 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I have a GF3 and i;m fine with that....untill of course the Geforce 4 Ti series comes out then i'm going to save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazilla Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 No way I'm not getting a GF4 just for JKII, my GF2 GTS should handle it just fine...it handles all the other latest games perfectly, I don't see why it wouldn't JK2 (it's not like it supports vertex and pixel shaders, anyways). I'm gonna get the GF5 Ultra once it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMatt302 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I bought a 8500LE. Graphics play smooth like liquid. Only to get through school until Friday. I guess school work comes before anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Originally posted by digl I think Bowen did that. JK II was not the sole reason for the upgrade but the unexpected money I got and knowing that if I did not spend it...my wife would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedimaster74 Posted March 22, 2002 Author Share Posted March 22, 2002 I may end up getting a geforce 3 ti200. I heard that is a pretty good card for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 But it was one of the reasons . I fixed you quote tag btw I'll probably get an R8500, not sure which model yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
