Nvidia Geforce 4 (NV25) Information

Posted by timothy on from the driving-miss-pixels dept.

msolnik writes: "nV News has a brief article about the long-awaited NV25-based video adapters. These graphics processors have similar capabilities compared to the XGPU, and are a lot more powerful than GeForce3 Ti500. Since they are manufactured using .13 micron technology, they will probably be clocked at very high levels."

    I want a card that runs stable and runs fast in Linux AND windows (shudder...)

    Same here... Which is why I've settled on a Radeon 7500.

      I sure hope it does because my current card has a hard time doing AA. Words like AArdvark just kill it.
