*sigh* Video Card!
« on: March 3, 2003 03:46 pm CST »
I had $100 in gift cerfiticates at Best Buy.. I just got NWN and realized that well It doesn't like 3dFX...

SO I decided to go out and buy a GF4 MX 64DDR for $79 (online price)

I went out to buy it.. I was looking all over, and all I seen was the reg 64 SD which wouldn't be better enough than my VD to waste the gift cards..

I ask the guy about the card and he pointed out an Avalanch GF4 MX440 64 DDR.. It said exactly that on the box, and it was $99 so I figured what the hell..

I take it home, it is a forking accelerator.. (I would have known because it said MMX440-SE, but I wasn't looking at each card to see what is what)

So now I am thinking well wtf.. Why not just get spend $130 of my own including the return price on the MX440 and get a damn ti (I forget the number) 128DDR...

Hell I won't need another card for around 5 years..

You are dumb. Take back anything you bought that says nVidia on it.

I would have gone with the ATi Radeon 9500 Pro, with that 100 gift certificate, it would only be 120$.  Much better than all that crap.  It's comparable to a GF4 Ti4600 in performance.

Or if you are that cheap, get a Radeon 9000 Pro, only 20$ after your gift certificate.

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

Exactly.  Nvidia's GeForce3 technology completely changed the way we play games today.  Goooo nVidia!

Hell, I have just even begun to consider buying NWN Razore.  Oh, and if you are saying that a GeForce3 ti500 is more powerful than a Geforce4, you are wrong.  Well, unless you are referring to a GF4 MX.  Those things are for casual to mid range gamers.  Im all the way with Nvidia!  Goooo GeForce FX!

That only applies for the MX brand.  Nothing else.  


-2 Vertex Shaders (GeForce3 has only 1)
-LMA2 - enhances the GeForce4's use of available bandwidth
-Faster core and memory clock speeds, leading to larger fill rates, more  
vertex processing power, and greater memory bandwidth
-Accuview AA - improves anti-aliasing
-nfiniteFX2 - improves vertex and pixel processing, giving the GeForce4 up to 3 times the vertex power of the GeForce3
-nView - nVidias multi-display support, allowing several devices to be connected at once, including CRT (VGA), DVI, and TV out. No previous nVidia card has had such advanced multiple-display support.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

VERY nice card part. I myself have a Ge Force 4 MX 440 64meg DDR SE. Its very good. I might be changing to a Ti 4600 or maybe even the new Ti 4800. But thats after i get my new 2 gig DDR nvidia motherboard. (good to work in a computer shop). but Ozzy Nwn is a great game. i only played for like 2 hours cause i found it realy hard. But the Ge Force 4 440 is a good card. Make sure you dont get the MX 400 or MX 420 cause they are only SD and score 1000 less in 3D mark 2001 SE. For $10 u can add 1000 score...nice ;)

I also own a GeForce3 ti500.  Its a very dependable card, though I have noticed some slowdowns in some games.  But that was only before i formatted my PC.  That comp was running windoze ME, and no telling how many pr0n viruses were on it.
