Hey everyone I'm looking for a game that makes good use of my Geforce 4 ti4600. I'm looking because I need to see if it's really worth it to have this $400 card. I want to see if anyone really uses Nvidia techs. I don't see how anyone can even use their techs when they come out with new things to play with al the time. That's my only prob with Nvidia other than that I love them

It really depends on the rest of your system, if you have a slow system dont bother you would be better off with processor update !
Most games out now dont come close to using the capabilites of either the TI series or the 8000 series from ATI. Look for games that require DX 8, America's Army Does and some other games based on the new Unreal engine.
I've owned both a Radeon 8500 and a TI4600 and for the money I would have to recondmend the Radeon, just not that much differance in Frame rates unless your using them at really high resolutions.

screw the Geforce 4, unless you have a powerful comp like i have P4 @ 2.57ghz, its not gonna warrent u getting one, i'm using it in this comp, but jus for the hell of it i Pluged it into a older PIII 800, that was using a Geforce 3 before..... It got an identical score to the Geforce 3 on that system, witch proves if ure using an older system, don't even mess with the card, get a geforce 3 ti 200 and save yourself 300$, and the NV30 is so close now, i def wouldn't get a GF4, I've had mine for almost half a year now heh, 6months nother card bah.

I'd wait until the end of the year when the GF5 / New Radeon comes out, then you'll be picking up GF3 and 4's for very cheap. and a good cpu to go with them.
