GeForce4 Ti 4200 Preview

Posted by michael on from the CGA dept.

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."

  2. the need for ... high fps? by CmdrTaco+(editor) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is slightly off topic, but I think it is at least somewhat appropriate. Gas Powered Games new release, Dungeon Siege, is one of the most beautiful 3D games I've ever seen, but reading on forums about it I realized that even a Geforce3 with a killer Athlon XP system would still only let the game run around 20-30 fps. People have been complaining like mad about this, because the very reason the spend so much money on the best possible systems is so they can get a high fps. But, somebody on one of the forums said that since the entire game is rendered in 3D, the FPS is quite irrelvent (the frame does not actually refresh, but each element on the screen moves at its own pace). So, taking this information as fact, does this mean that the only games that the GF4 would be worthwile for would be UT2002 and such games?

    Yeah, and I bet Nietzsche hated you. Even DESPITE being utterly unconcerned with what level you read Slashdot at. Even not giving a shit about what has got to be the single most annoying aspect of your meticulously disgusting character, I'm pretty sure all Germans hate you.

    You sure you don't want to tell us how many squares of toilet paper you use?

    I think when you say "reading at 0"... that's your grade-level right? What would that make it, preschool for you? Have you gotten to the part with the crayons yet? Or are you still watching the Teletubbies?

    Post again when you decide what level your brain is at... *BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!*
