Homosexual Ewok Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 ti 4600 Works fine. Why you having trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00M-187 Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 Well I used to have a Voodoo 3500 16mb. I could run the game @ 1280X1024 with up to 4 people in duels and no lag. What I wanted was to be able to play more players obviosly. So I went out and picked up a Geforce 4 4200 TI, And honeslty the graphics are a bit smoother, but still I cannot have more then 4 ppl in a game without significant lag. I dont understand, I was expecting more from this card. Yes I know I have a crap CPU, but still. Geforce 4 is supposed to be the **** right?

mariners2001 Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 is there any possible ways (besides stealing ) to get a geforce4 for under $70? or even under $50? I'm broke as a joke and it ain't funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Plo_Koon Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 All I have is a crapy free be that came with my crapy PC. LOL! Anyway, how much is a Geforce 4 card. I NEED one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psionic Jedi Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 GeForce 4 MX 420 . Can run several lightsaber-wielders without any major slowdown, but with several guns and explosions going off it can really chop a couple of frames. Its not the card, it's probably my 600mhz processor.... So it's a budget card. I just tell people "Yes, I do have a Geforce 4..." and leave the MX out, so they can still shiver in pheer at Nvidia's recent line of cards. I think the new radeon is the GF4 killer though.

mariners2001 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 yeah, i'm still curious if there are any budget deals you're aware of. and Darth Kaan, you must be filthy rich if you can own a GeForce4, buy the new Radeon and throw it out?!!

NO! I did not throw it out, I just put it back in the box, it will keep until I need it or I sell it. The features of the new radion are not used by JKII, and the GF4 is still a better all around card in my opinion, at least it works better for me. GF has solid drivers, ATI's drivers have always been their weakspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00M-187 Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 I cant believe I upgraded my vid card just to play this game, and now Im going to do a CPU upgade.... lol. Im a Star Wars Whore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp€ct3r Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Ati 9700 Pro Darth Kaan you obviously have no idea of what you are talking about. Ati did enormous job in fixing thier drivers and the new catalysts works perfectly. And this cards is better all around... Whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catalysts caused all kinds of video glitches on my machine. I went back to the GF4 and have had no problems. Obviously ATI did not do a good enough job fixing their drivers and anyone who knows anything about their products, knows their drivers ARE a weakspot. I also have two friends that had the same less than pleased experience with the ATI 9700 card. It is overpriced and MOST games currently out, don't use its advanced features. I learned my lesson and sold the card today for half what I paid for it and told the buyer why. My next card will be a newer generation GF. I know they have solid drivers. I am very well aware of, and do know what I am talking about. I suggest you take some reading comprehension classes. They will help you understand the subject matter in posts before you reply to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp€ct3r Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Specter pokes KaAan Oh sorry i did not know you chose card by brand and not by quality...like i said, you obviously haven't done enough testing to fix your problem. You might want to try these beta drivers if you have XP/2000. And of course a Radeon 9700 Pro unless your post was only free bashing of ATI without actual testing. You might note that anyone who knew a little about ATI knew about the drivers issues. But you might also take into account that anyone who keeps himself informed, even if it's not often, knows that ATI made enourmous leaps in the drivers domain, and that most, if not all issues are fixed. I hope they solve your problems! But whatever, since your argument is air-tight i'll just stop arguing there... Good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thanks for the advise... but I learned my lesson about ATI cards through the best research available, trying one. I solved my "problem" by putting a real card back in my rig.

Pedantic Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 I prefer ATI myself. However, NVIDIA and ATI have both had their share of problems, be it drivers or other issues. Neither company is immune from difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the ATI 7000 way back when it came out and it was a solid performer and my first 64mb vid card. I have just had such stabile performance with the newer GF cards that my experience with the ATI 9700 turned me off to their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Warrior Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 I gotta GF4 ti 4400 with 128mb on an athlon 1.4 with 1 gig ram, no problems, no fuss.

Darklighter Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 I have a GF4 MX 420...and despite what everybody says about it's crapness, it works great with games, and if you are on a tight budget, it is a very efficient and effective card.
