for years? lmfao dude the Geforce 4 was a late 2002 product... hardly call that years :s (I estimate 1.5 yrs... got my GF3 TI200 overclocked at normal GF3 running for 2 yrs and I bought that when the thing just got out o.O)

Gonna play Doom 3 with it to... take that!! :p


j/k allinall - great new card dude, maybe I can take over your old one? :x ;)

im going to say I had the ti for 2 years + some. Even if it was 1.5 years was still time for an update. Im a picky bastard. If i cant crank up the gfx on single player im not happy. Dues 2 was my first disapointment. I have to say the one thing that im enjoying the most are the shadows, seeing an opponents shadow on farcry's multi adds so much to the game I think. Atleast im gettin my kicks off.

Always seemed a bit odd to me when i read what alot of neo players are running machine wise. Alot are very ^^ but some, well some are just EEK! But then again we are playing neo so theres no need atm.






places the Ti in the bin of computer scraps right next to the voodoo 5 5500 and locks .. hmm wonder if "garret" can pick his way though this one :shock:

Seriously though, I play far cry at almost the highest settings and it runs smooth (800x600 though) Only thief and deusex where a bit laggy, and for some reason gothic 2 also... which isn't even the best of engines.

Its a good card, quicker than your GF4 was anywayz ;) - or so the benchmarks say online...

but thats all excuses for a lack of cash to get new hardware :p

Ordering X800 as soon as I can :p

ATi > Nvidia. :)

Renember: ATi is ValvE's preferred vendor for Half-Life 2!

Might be worth looking at the Nvidia GeForce 5950Ultra as the price would of now come down. I bought mine a month or so before the 6800 was announced :cry: never mind eh!.

Anyway I can run FarCry at top whack in all settings no probs.

P.S. ATI better on paper (just) not in reality with games today :x

Hmm ATI a few months ago was better than Nvidia, until the 6800 came along (Or whatever the latest Nvidia card is)
