This is just NVidia's attempt at trying to save their chip that is beginning to reach
its limitations... #2 by Krogue on Thursday, Jun 6 at 3:21 PM
Oh, yeah, the GeForce4's have really met their limit. I mean shit, I can't even find
games that use the full potential of the current GeForce 4 cards. The last thing I
am concerned about is what the next new technology is. It won't be utilized fully
by game developers for another 2 years anyway.
I will stick to my, as Squirrel put it "chip that is beginning to reach its limitations". #3 by Tmmick2000 on Thursday, Jun 6 at 3:25 PM
Krogue...Try the benchmark from my post today. The Codecreature benchmark
will make your Geforce 4 cry like a Biaaaeeech. #4 by Squirre1 on Thursday, Jun 6 at 3:29 PM
That is in reference to the fact that I have not heard any new developements on
the NVidia. Hey, maybe I will support NVidia more if I can get that 1.4 from Kagato
*grin*, don't make me beg...:P #5 by Kagato on Thursday, Jun 6 at 3:46 PM
There's been talk of Nvidia's next chip - but no official notes or anything thanks to
the NDAs. I think ATi will have the same issues though - bandwidth limitations on
the AGP (8X is coming baby!) and base CPU speed. While the card itself is a
processor in it's own right (GPU), it is still reliant upon the CPU, and the faster
CPU you can throw at it, all the better it performs. #6 by dbh on Thursday, Jun 6 at 7:15 PM
Waiting for the NV50 personally. upgrading from GF3 to 4 is a waste of
money... the only thing that's new is... umm... performance :P And when your
machine already runs the newest at 100+ frames with everything maxed, that's
kinda silly :)
Btw, download.com no longer hosts the codecreatures benchmark - anyone
seen it hosted elsewhere? #7 by Squirre1 on Thursday, Jun 6 at 7:46 PM
You can get it from MajorGeeks:

All the links work except for the Author Link. I will be adding this to our download
section.
