Most consumers are going to be duped into thinking this is a fast card just because it says Geforce 4. Geforce 4 has to be faster than Geforce 3, right? Wrong!The list below ranks the cards in terms of speed and power for gamers as determined by the 3DMark website at the time I write this review. Notice this card ranks at the bottom of the list? A Geforce2 Ultra is faster! 1. NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 For the occasional gamer who doesn't need the top-end 3D graphics or the occasional business user, this card will be fine. However, if that's your...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By Kinko (St. Paul, Mn) - See all my reviews This review is from: PNY Verto GeForce4 64MB MX420 AGP (Personal Computers) I really like this card...way faster that the the 3.

It wont be a long time bfore this card is obsolete. It doesnt use technology in the Radeon 8500, Geforce 3's, or the Geforce 4 TI. This technology is called vertex and pixel shaders. Translation: New games are using these, and before long this video card wont beable to support them. Right now, game developers are using an engine that supports the shaders, and one that doesnt, so the game is runable on every computer made in the past, say, 3 years. But sometime, the time will come when they stop making the engine that doesnt use the shaders. Many gamers may get burned by not understanding this flaw. When someone sees "BRAND NEW --- GEFROCE 4 mx!!!" most will think that its superior to the geforce 3's. Not so. Like i said, thay dont use the...Read more |
