That thing is a monster!

I bought a GeForce4 Ti4200 a couple months back to finally upgrade my TNT2. Man did that old card suck.

I need to build a whole new computer, but I can't justify it just yet until I get more of my college debt and that honeymoon I took paid off.

Holy Cow Ryan, does that thing come in it's own case. That's huge. I bought a GeForce2 when it first came out so many years ago (something like 2 I think). That's the card I'm still running. At the time it was top of the line - now it's so whimpy it's sick.

Did you have to drop another card from your case? That thing is so big it takes up a pci slot too!

I still have a GeForce2 64MB

That is a big card(GeForce FX) - FAST-

VERY NICE

I just got the card yesterday and installed it last night.

It rules!!! It does take up a PCI slot that, but luckily I can afford to give one up (I have 6)

I played Morowind III as my "test" game and it looked like I was playing a movie. Very smooth textures, very real looking environments. Combined with my Soundblaster audiogy card it is a great gaming experience!!

So it was an FX 5800? How's the noise factor? I've read some reviews that said it ran at almost 60 decibels...

I have a Ti4200 as well. For the money, that card ROCKS!

I will have to upgrade to a DX9 supported card before Doom III comes out. I've been trying to decide between an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro and the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra.

So, how is the new card working out Ryan?

now that some time has passed...

Enquiring minds want to know!

Ryanwb · July 1st, 2003, 06:51 PM

Well....do you ever have buyers remorse? Honestly, it is a cool card, but this is the last time I ever buy a card right when it comes out.....I had simular results with my old ATI 9100

jf-08 · July 1st, 2003, 07:07 PM

what did you do with your old one?

DbaxJ · July 1st, 2003, 09:38 PM
