| 148364 | 2003-05-29 12:48:00 | hmmmm,i wish people wouldnt talk out there crack. 1.You can purchase a g4ti for $260,And get an excellent brand name one for $300,i picked up my asus ti4200 for $330 about 3 months ago. 2.Unreal2 will make use of the best videp card you can throw at it,it has without doubt the best graphics of any game ive ever seen,it asks for more then what my card can give it. 3.You wont see anything special without 8xagp? wtf is that about?a g4ti cant even make use of the bandwidth made available by 8x,it doesnt even make use of all thats supplied by 4x,.....8xagp is purely and simply a marketing angle. 4.The gforce4mx is based on the gforce2 chipset,its old and it cant compare to a ti,at all,in any circumstances. Its a fine card if you want to spend less then a hundred dollars but you get exactly what you pay for. Different views are one thing but people jumping in with info they pulled outta fairyland should be deleted. |

| 148365 | 2003-05-29 13:10:00 | >I am looking to spend absolute maximum $300 on the card. The Leadtek WinFast GeForce4 Ti4200 A280LE 64 MB cards have dropped in price - you can easily pick one up for under $300. I see one for $270 [includ GST] according to Pricespy - Graphics (www.pricespy.co.nz) {tries not to think about the extra $60 it cost me for the same card less than 3 months ago :(} |

| 148366 | 2003-05-29 13:45:00 | Alright so maybe they dropped down in price. A month ago they were like $800 for a ti4200. I don't surf every tech website looking at geforce prices, I have better things to do. But sorry for the incorrect information anyway. To sum it up: Whatever. Who cares. Make a big deal of it metla. Get help. Get a life. |

| 148367 | 2003-05-29 13:51:00 | Actually where I got my incorrect information from: I thinking of the GF4 ti 128mb 8x AGP cards. The ti 4x 64mb cards are obviously much cheaper. |

| 148368 | 2003-05-29 16:02:00 | my apoligies for getting jumpy. but,the misinformation going round here about video cards is getting to me,ive repeated the same basic bit of info in at least 4 threads now. If anyone purchased a card based on some of the bad advise given out around here they would be having a more severe disservice done to them then anyone on the recieving end of my flak. It cant hurt to make sure at least some of ones facts are somewhere near the ballpark before directing someone in a direction to spend there money. Oh wait,this stand of mine means i need to get a life and get help. lmaox2 |

| 148369 | 2003-05-29 22:49:00 | i have seen prices of the Ti4200 for the last 2 months at least well under $300. i agree 8x AGP bandwidth is not so needed, I have read a review that was posted by one member on this forum. u do get benefits but they were in single digits. nothing to justify getting a 8x AGP port. I would personally go for the Ti card, hey bet u it cost more to sell and buy another card and how often do a person upgrade a mobo anyway these days the CPU is way fast enof for DVD playback, mp3, web/email and office applications and even some forecasting, photo/video/editing editing... unless u are a v keen enthusiast. maybe the bottlneck will be future's new windows ...

| 148371 | 2003-05-29 23:50:00 | Hi Josh How bout a quick FAQ on gfx cards to cut to the chase along the lines of a brief revision history or is that bigger than it appears to me on the face of it? I've been reading the posts re cards and mobos that have croped up over the past month or so and very intersting and informative in most cases they have been if you let the theads play out to there conclusion. Your right tho, there's a lot of repeated ? But that is so for alot of the queries or discussions on PF1 hence the FAQ. You, tweake and whetu and a couple others probably have the best handle on hardware topics as they relate to performance, mods, etc. Give the most intersting and plausable replies anyway :) What do you think? Don't hold back I'm a big boy now! Cheers Murray P |

| 148372 | 2003-05-29 23:55:00 | Just to throw another spanner in the works... why not look at an entry level FX card? They are just as cheap as the MX, but a pure DX9 card and benches better too. Otherwise, get a ti... NEVER get the MX otherwise your 'upgrade' would just be a waste of time. Lo. |

| 148373 | 2003-05-30 00:19:00 | only catch with doing an faq on hardware is the price factor and peoples system. to get a good "bank for your $$" you need to know the current priceing and the persons hardware. also how it is going to be used plays a big part. recommending parts is such a subjective thing, everyone has different points of veiw. eg gamers won't touch a MX card with a 20ft barge pole and always make sure the vid card is better than the rest of the system. more average users are often happier about useing a cheaper MX card. | tweak'e (174) | ||
