OK, so what would be recommended for those two games then? GF 2? Not high end $1000 cards, just decent average ones. Given that the information was written back in February, does this apply yet:

As usual, there will be better cards available from both Nvidia and ATI by the time we ship the game. ?

JM, note that tweak'e didn't specify a size limit. Shall I obtain something like a 40lb grouper for you? :D

61632 2002-07-12 23:39:00 for doom3 & quake4 a GF3 minimum (a cheap GF3 is only just a bit dearer than a GF4mx440 and a whole lot quicker) or any non mx GF4. GF2 pro might do just but a g3 is a whole lot better.

fish may be any size that he can pick up with one hand ;-)

61634 2002-07-13 00:23:00 Great debate.
Will take the cover off today. Check for AGP slot. Then buy GeF3ti.

Will then need instruction on install.
Checked out the previous page thread.

Do I uninstall the previous card? / drivers?

Or do this after the physical replacement and reboot.

Thanks,


PS. Please make the fish a small one, might need help further down the track!!

In other words, all show no go.

61636 2002-07-13 05:58:00 basicly put- you need to change the driver to a standard vga driver (stock windows),uninstall the video drives (add&remove) and any video driver utilities, shut down, change card, install new drivers. tweak'e (174)
