. net... Hey John, My office PC has a GF4 Ti4600 (45.23 driver(Win-XP))on an NF2 board, XP2600+, 2 sticks of Corsair XMS2700. Nothing overclocked but its tweaked and runs very fast. I'm using a Promise FastTrack TX2000 with mirrored ATA100 IBM drives. Aquamark3 scores very poorly!! Sco 18329 CPU: 5807 GFX: 2175 Average FPS: 18.33 TPS: 6108 K Games based on DX9 will be totally unplayable at 1024 X 768, medium quality and with NO FSAA/AF. Maybe at 800 X 600 and still with no FSAA/AF. Crazy?! The GF Ti4xxx card series is arguably the best dx8 card series, but that does no good for dx9... Sigh...

. net... I agree. Although after playing games at 1600 X 1200 for so long, I find the jagged edges at 1024 X 768 sort of unacceptable. I WANT to run FSAA and/or AF and at that my average frame rate is only about 35 with a low of 10 and a high of 125. That's hardly fast enough - its actually NOT fast enough but it will do and I'm running an overclocked 9700 Pro and an Overclocked Pentium 4 at almost 3.3GHz (1Ghz FSB)! Anything much less is hardly playable without FSAA and AF no less with. Well, yes... Software will always be able to outstrip hardware, but that is a good thing... It means newer, faster cards! I to wish for full effects at a minimum 60fps ( well, 85fps to match my monitor refresh - it's kinda old - off lease rules! ), but I remember my integrated video days and then getting my ATI 9000pro! Well, I will tell you we are just *so* spoiled! Intel/AMD, nVidia/ATI - see the parallel? People want the Intel to have the AMD efficiency, what a killer chip that would be! nVidia gross speed with ATI shaders! Sigh... Next-gen of both will probably meet somewhere in the middle... But, they *still* won't *really* be fast enough... HL14, Doom57, UT2007...
