NewBJedi Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Unless you are getting something like below 60 FPS in your game, I say hold off: "The new chip will be manufactured on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s latest 0.13-micron manufacturing process, Huang said. Huang did not reveal the name or specific features of the chip, but did say it was a fundamentally new architecture from the GeForce 4 Titanium introduced earlier this year." http://news.com.com/2100-1040-896850.html?legacy=cnet&tag=lthd Even if you don't get the new card with the new chipset, the GF4 price will drop significantly by then.

Ae0N Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I just bought a GF3 500 during christmas, I have no plans of getting the GF4 because theres hardly anything that was really improved over it. I think the nvidia team sat down and said, lets rename our GF3's to something else and mass market it. It's like putting a new hood ornament on a car and calling it the 2003 edition.

Pvt_Dancer Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I want and need a new card pretty badly but I am going to have to wait on it anyway. I have some debts to pay off. (anyone need a flight to Aalderan?) Im running a GeForce 256 though... and that won't last too much longer. Hopefully this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Of course I'd like a shiny new video card to replace my GeForce2, but then again, I'm not made of money. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I need a Radeon 8500. Right now, I have one of those cheap Asian LE cards. Good performance for the buck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispcarter Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 GF3 500Ti. 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 I'm waiting for the Ti4200 200 bucks, almost the same performance as the 4600. You can be waiting forever if you wait for the next thing. Now I could wait for the prices to drop when that chip is released, to get a 4600, but by that time the next chip will be announced, so I'd wait till it's out and the prices of the new chip fall...

Darth Abbadon Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 I'm happy with my regular (before Ti started) Geforce3. I've not checked what my FPS is in game, but I can run Jedi Outcast with everything all the way up and 4x anti-aliasing at 800x600 (which is just fine considering I'm currently using a 15" monitor).
