I have a 64MB GeForce4 440 in my Dell Inspiron laptop, and a 128MB GeForce4 Ti4600 in my desktop. My first couple of runs through JKII were on my older Dell laptop (before this one arived) with the GeForce2Go 32MB ... I didn't like the swamp on that card :-(

So ... since this is about what you HAVE, not what you THINK is BEST ... don't you think that you should say ... "Anyone who can't read the premise of a poll before making a crack is a loser and a moron';)

 

JKII didn't kill my GeForce4 440 in the Dell laptop ... I ran 1024x768 pretty well maxed for teh whole game (crossed my fingers at the swamp, but all was well!)

 

SoF2, however, is a true pig ... it gets choppy at points on my Dell 8200 with the 2.53GHz P4, 1GB RAM, and 128MB GF4 Ti4600!!!

According to the Anandtech website, JK2 is better off with the geforce 4 ti4600 card, until you reach the highest resolution tested, 1600x1200. Who would really use that resolution, though? Do you have a big screen tv hooked up to your computer?

 

I'm not saying that the geforce is a better card, but it is more affordable. I would say: Get/stay with your geforce for another 2 years or so, when the radeon card goes down in price. Then buy it.

 

But, as of the day before yesterday, the geforce4 was the fastest card out there. That literally changed overnight, but not by much. The maximum gap I saw in the review was 43%. I wouldn't buy a new card until it surpassed the previous one by 100%. Any less than that, and you wuoldn't really be blown away by the increase, and keeping your slower card wouldn't cause you to stop playing awesome games with stunning results.

 

If radeon uses the knowledge gained on this card properly, we will see it surpassed 100% within the next year. Buying a card that costs well over 300 dollars just to use for a year before buying another one is madness. I guess if you have that kind of money, go for it. But I don't have that kind of money. I'll be lucky to afford the geforce4, and that's only 150 bucks (for the ti4600)!

 

And besides, there will inevitably be a point where 3d graphics on a 2d plane will be as good as they can get, and then we will get 3d projections. (holodeck) I think we're approaching the 75% mark. 25% more increase in quality and we will be done. Infinite polygons, infinate frame rate.

 

Someone should design a holodeck. Then all you people with your stinking little cards would be left behind. Maybe i'll do it...muahahahaha

Again, just my 2 cents.
