Gaalgoth Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Yeah, so I just got a GeForce 4 ti 4200 and my god it's beautiful.
Wraith 8 Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 lol... week 27 or 28... then il be able to compete with you
talldudeX Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 You should've got a 4800...but oh well, still good...I have internal graphics:(
Gaalgoth Posted June 27, 2002 Author Posted June 27, 2002 Last I looked the best was a 4600....besides, this was only 200. the cheapest 4600 was 350, and if there is a 4800 i can only imagine how much it will cost. Besides, I don't buy the topmost product. It's always cheaper a few months later and the difference in performance between mine and a 4600 is 3% (according tot eh nVidia website). besides, I'm getting a new comp next spring for graduation.
Yoda_623 Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 Man I wish I had a GeForce 4....Oh well I'll just keep usin my GeForce 2 for now.
Wraith 8 Posted July 2, 2002 Posted July 2, 2002 coming friday ill get a Geforce 4 with a complete new computer.
Koffin Posted July 9, 2002 Posted July 9, 2002 Geforce 5 should be out a few months after SW Galaxies...
Sounds Risky Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 Then would probably be a good time to get a GeForce 4.

Omne Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 I built a new computer after dismantling my old one, and put in a GeForce Ti200...I enjoy it, since it's basically my first real card (I always used internal or onboard crap)
FunClown Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 I'm planning on getting a GF Ti 4200 in a few months to replace my GF2MX 100/200.
Com Raven Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 if you buy a GeForce 4 4200, get Leadtek A250.... not only does it look great, it's also has the best cooling, so you can give it a nice additional boast that'll show a 4400.... Galaxies is developed in conjunction with NVidia, so it will include support for future NVidia cards to ensure it doesn't look dated in some years...
FunClown Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Com_Raven, I was thinking about getting the X-Micro 4200 64MB DDR which is currently priced at AU$325. The Leadtech you speak of is priced at AU$365. Both have a games pack and I'm not going to overclock however. I don't want to overclock because it can reduce the life of your card and I want this card to last 2 to 3 years. Nothing could get much worse than what I'm running now. I think its the slowest card with hardware T'n'L.
Com Raven Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 huh ? In germany, it was not only the cooles, but also one of the cheapest...
FunClown Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 I suppose things are different for each country. I did however look into the games pack of the LeadTek and it include Aquanox, some rally game, blackthorne, and some other games carnival thing( probably shareware stuff). That sounds like a pretty solid package there. I can't however, find out what the X-Micro Impact Ti 4200 gamepack contains. If anyone knows that would be great if you could say because I'm very interested. A few more dollars for a few more games sounds well worth it. BTW, the leadtek one here was originally priced at AU$419 then a few weeks ago went down to AU$399 and a few days ago went down to AU$365. These cards are getting cheap fast which is a change for me.
Com Raven Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 yeah, the Leadtek one includes Aquanox, a great-looking rally game, Rogue Spear Black Thorn and a sampler.
FunClown Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 Do you know what the Sampler is? Is it demo's of games or what? Also, I found out that the X-Micro game bundle includes Ballistics and Codename: Outbreak. I found this out by accident by following a link to sharkyextreme. I didn't like the bundle but I've looked at the gameds at pc.ign.com and they look fine to me. So basically, I won't mind getting either card. However, keep in mind that the X-Micro is cheaper.
Sounds Risky Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 I just ordered a GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB the other day. Should be a nice upgrade from my Geforce2.
Com Raven Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 the Asus Deluxe 4600 is quite a impressive thing... so Funclown, came to a decision ?
Com Raven Posted July 27, 2002 Posted July 27, 2002 128 MB ram is a waste of money, as it is slower than 64 mb due to ram cycling... will just start to be useful as soon as devs assume 128 mb to be a given...

Depends on the card you buy. Some 64mb geforces blow 128's out of the water from what you have said. But there are True 128's out there. Chaintech's is the greatest I've seen, also its gold, for some reason. Gold plated, yep, and its cost effcient, but I have to order to get, and well I'm lazy.
FunClown Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 Com_Raven, I think I'm going to go for the X-Micro. Ballistics and Code:Outbreak seem like pretty cool games, though Sharkyextreme didn't like them. They complained about cards coming with triple AAA title that everyone owns and then complained about the two games in the X-Micro card that not everybody owns but seem pretty cool (to me anyway). Price is a big issue for me to. So saving a couple of dollars as well as getting a couple of games is pretty good for me. However, if I don't buy SWG I probably won't get a new card until KOTOR comes out. Even though I am tempted to get the card before that, plus I can see what else is coming out in my price range. Also, some 128MB cards of the 4200 are at 64MB speeds but they are more expensive.
D@rth M@ul Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 Games that come packed with g-cards usually aren't worth installing. From my experiences.
