GeForce4 Ti 4200 Preview
Mike Chambers writes "Hi All, I've completed a preview of NVIDIA's GeForce4 Ti 4200 graphics chipset. Although the preview contains your typical benchmarks, it's centered around game play and antialiasing image quality. Here's a list of the games involved - Quake 3 & Team Arena, IL-2 Sturmovik, Nascar Racing 2002 Demo, Jedi Knight 2, Serious Sam 2, Max Payne Demo, Comanche 4 Demo, Dungeon Siege and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 Demo. Since antialiasing image quality, especially Quincunx and 4XS, was an important aspect of the preview, all of the screen shots were saved in high quality PNG format. For those Slashdot readers that are avid gamers, you might want to check this out."
I was looking forward to uncovering these features of the GeForce4 Ti 4200 myself. Now you've spoiled everything.
Too bad the Linux "d00ds" will not enjoy as great a gaming experience with this bad boy as us "Windows" d00ds. I could never see Everquest, Camelot, or anything like it as open source. Would ruin the game totally.
It's called Nethack, duh - which is why us Linux "d00ds" need to buy geForce4s to make text mode games..even faster! er...../me mutters incoherently and runs to corner.
I'm going to have to upgrade from my Hercules Mono Graphics card
Oh wow... you got a Hercules card?
Man, I was thinking of upgrading my text adaptor to one of those but I don't know if my old orange-phosphor CRT could handle it.
Of course what I really lust after is one of those BOB color cards. Man, they've got 640x350 pixels in sixteen (yes, count them... SIXTEEN) glorious colors!
What it must be like to be rich eh?
At least I've got 640K of RAM -- that's got to be more than anyone would ever need -- right Bill?
But why do you need antialiasing at 1600x1200? Can anyone honestly see the pixels at that res?
The average user doesn't need his screen being blurred, the monitor does that well enough for him/her
"omg timmy! did you see those jaggies!"
"dude, don't be a magnafying glass hog!"
Most folk'll never lose a toe, and then again some folk'll...
yeah my 128meg geforce4 goes twice as fast as my 64meg geforce2 mx! That extra memory really makes it fly!
