The GeForce 4 4600 range of graphics cards offer excellent performance, but is it the right one for you? This depends on quite a few factors - in addition to the price and 3D performance, there's the video quality and the noise of the cooling fan to consider as well. Press READ MORE for further info.
Probably the single most fast-paced sector within the computer industry is the graphics cards market, especially where high-end products are concerned. It was only just last fall that ATi was able to catch up with NVIDIA's GeForce 3 Ti series thanks to its new RADEON 8500 line, even besting it in some cases. ATi didn't get to enjoy this situation for very long, though. Upon its introduction in the first quarter of this year, the GeForce 4 Ti was able to retake the speed crown for NVIDIA, uncontested. The only card a GeForce 4 Ti needs fear is the home-made competition. At this point it's time for the obligatory warning about the GeForce 4 MX version, which, aside from the name and the misleading "4", has nothing in common with the Ti boards. From a technical viewpoint, these cards are still built on pre-GeForce 3 technology, and it shows in their performance. They lack both pixel and vertex shaders. All in all, it's fair to say that the GeForce 4 MX is nothing more than a modernized GeForce 2 chip with a new memory interface, hardware support for anti aliasing, and a second RAMDAC.
