Nvidia Geforce 4 cards are crap on a stick
I just bought a Ti4200 and took it back, because the card performs worse than my 8500, all the frame rates SUCKED ASS, and it locked my computer out. I got a refund and got some ram sticks.
im pissed with everyone saying that ATI drivers suck, I mean has anyone actually ever used those lame ass detonator drivers? I think the ATI users who bitch are just sad computer NOOBS who cant even install a driver right. if you use a set 6043 or after the 8500 kicks ass.
and what about pricing? a Ti4600 costs £300+ here in the UK? LOL, come on Nvidia are you in partnership with Microsoft? did Bill Gate$ buy the company over?
and the Mx Geforce 4 cards? OMG, what a pile of shit they are. slower than a tortoise on valium with its head up its ass. at least they are cheap but my god you are better throwing your money down the drain than buying those. and whats the deal about the werewolf demo anyway? it looks like friggin John Goodman in a rented outfit. its crap as well.
the only good thing about buying the Ti4200 was the box, and the chick who served me. she was hot. what a waste of time.
NVIDIA suck. I think they must have sacked the 3DFX engineers they bought over cause their recent products are rubbish.

I'm not suprised ti4200 isn't as good as Radeon 8500. The specs for the card are much lower then for T4400 or Ti4600 for example. However, these are expensive at the moment, as you said, around £300 for Ti4600 in UK, ouch!

I dont mean to sound like I hate Nvidia, well actually yeah I do, cause they suck. and Bill Gates is a mercenary bastard, all he wants is more money, I mean why doesnt he just stop trying to get another billion and concentrate on delivering some good products? no wonder people are going to linux. Nvidia and Microsoft are typical moneymaking corporate businesses who are just out to suck everyone dry. long live the underdog.

yeah? hehe, didn't realize that... but what drivers for radeon and ti4200 did they use? maybe that could have something to do with it. With ATi, u really need the latest drivers to get most out of your Radeon.
However, if its true, then I guess Billy just had a bad experience with his for whatever reason... |

I still think they are shit. you are a cool guy Ryoko but your taste in video cards sucks. you need to change your avatar to a real man and then buy an ATI, you would feel better after that.

that's funny. as i read that i was watching some new videos i got through my gf3's tv-in. i have to say, it looks better than my tv. especially the recordings
i've also been playing around with nearly every setting i could find in rivatuner (i just found the old install file) and my games look incredible and still run perfectly smooth. that's where i've been all weekend |
