doh?! I suck again! I didn't mean to say pixel shaders...now that I think about it I thought they had improved AA...but I can't remember. Doesn't matter...all Nvidia cards have blown after the GF2 series.

Ahem....Dude. Guess Nvida fooled everyone except you. 😉I'll put my Ti4200 64 MSI card to yours any day 😉

and oh yeah. I just hope you "hug" your card with the power cord un-plugged.

Ahem wha? Your Ti 4200 card is nothing more than an overclocked Geforce 2 with some improved AA features and a better memory controller.

They never reinvented the wheel like ATI did with the R300 chip. So, they don't get props for the GF 4 series. However, the Ti 4200 is an excellent value for a very good performer. But, like I said, the GF4 Ti series isn't anything more than a suped up GF2. I am and will always be partial to the original. :tongue:

Dude, no one credible has ever claimed the Ti4200 is an overclocked Geforce 2..according to your logic, the FX series is just an amped-up Geforce 256 :0 and isn't that the "original"? Btw, I still have my trusty GF2MX 400 32MB pci card running in my old comp.

no way ...Rage 128 all the way! 😉

If you are so high on the new ATi, Knock yourself out. Although ATi still refuses to allow immediate second party development of their top chips, which keeps these cards way overpriced. (their choice) Indeed, the refusal of ATi to allow overclocking out of the box with the 9500/9700 series drivers (unless you use powerstrip) is very unlike the case with Nvidia. Yes, things are better with 9600/9800, but it shouldn't have taken such a long time.




Fueled by AMD and MSI: two great names that go great together! btw. stay out of trouble: watch anime!
