Yes i was looking at GeForce4 Ti 1000. This is the fastest graphics cards built on GeForce4 chip working at about 300MHz frequency. The card will have AGP 8x interface and 128MB DDR SDRAM memory working at 700MHz... ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OMG LOL CAN'T WAIT..:D

[kilacomp]

Too Much, I have decided to wait 10 to 12 months on building a new system, maybe they will have a gf5 Ti 2000 or even a rad9500 by then...No I've made up my mind, skip all that I'm going to buy the latest and greatest virtual reality rig by then!

[whooping_a_panda]

I have to get another job now if i plan on getting one of the ti1000's at launch, like i did my geforce3 :) sheesh that thing is lookin slower and slower.... (the geforce3)

I like to wait at least a month or 2 after so they get some of the bugs fixed..

[RangerJoe]

one of my friends will prolly get the ti1000 when it comes out, hes building a dual xp1800+ cpu for college...lol

[-Exi|e-]

Just imagine the bandwith the RAM will have at 700Mhz!

[NotHisTechiness]

just imagine the price:D :mad: :eek: :rolleyes:

[wildone]

8X AGP? When will the mobos start showing up that support the new rating?

[Kent]

Heard any rumors on the 4 Ti1000 price??? 2nd mortage anyone??? haha :)

[xCarne_Asada]

Oh Man I think the Geforce 3's will skip me and I am going straight to Geforce 4

[Mojoman]

Well if you ask me i think they are releasing too many models at once - lol im still dreaming for a Geforce3... damn.

Hey on another ntoe - i jsut had a faint memory of reading about a 3dfx Rampage? Waht happend to that?

Face it people you are all video junkies looking for the next big fix.

WHO Itsn't

[NewbiePerson]

Exactly how much of a performance boost is this geforce4 going to have over a gf3? Hardware sounds nice, but have they come up with enough new tech. to show a massive improvment?
How far will gf3 prices drop?
Just wondering if I should get a high tech now or wait for the newer....

First, we would like to point out that T&L unit of GeForce4 will acquire the second vertex shader pipeline. Also all GeForce4 graphics cards will support DVD decoding on the hardware level, support TwinView technology and have two built-in 350Mpixel RAMDACs.
8 x agp and alot faster ram and gpu I think its going to be alot better then the gf3.

[tacobell]

Don´t remember where I read that all cards will support agp 8x, maybe vr-zone. Also, there will be only 2 models of gf4 mx.. and there where little diferences in gpu/mem speeds, for better!

I heard that mobos that support agp8x would be annouced in january, like gf4.

[Wicked Klown]

Sounds like a tight card, but I would just like to settle for a GeForce3 ( any kind ) or a Radeon 8500. Right now tho I'm very happy with my Xtasy 5564.

i also heard that they are going to be using directx 9 with those cards..

[AtomicGuY]

I'm gonna jump to Nvidia Eclispe (NV30) when it comes out.

With 400MHz GPU/8 pipes and 1GHz Ram, this monster will CRUSH any previous model by 100%.

ohya, and dont forget 64-bit colour.

[AtomicGuY]

Ge-Force 4 does all DirectX 8.1 and it uses one feature from DirectX 9 which is 3D Texture Bump Maping.

Also, maximum texture size is now 8192x8192x32

I know i am having one on preorder for me as soon as they come out, I caved in and dicide to go for it and buy one i know i be kicking myselfin the a ss l8ter

[Angry]

Man, Im just now decideing to get a GF3 Ti 200 for a duron system...screw GF4....they need to let developers catch up....

man...what are we haveing a Video card race now?
Alrdy have a CPU race...but then again that means lower prices!!

[Mojoman]

Nvidia are competing in a race against themselves - and 64-bit color? wtf for?

16-bit is 64 thousand colours (plenty!)
24-bit is 16.7million colours (okay that is mega-plenty)
32-bit is 4 BILLION colours (okay okay lets stop now, that ENOUGH)
64-bit PFFFFFFFFFFFT ITS JUST SILLY

[abb1]

When is the GeForce4 supposed to come out? Anybody know?

[Despotes]

First half of February

[AKDUDE]

I thought it was being "announced" in feb? Or are they actually going to sell the card in FEB?
AKDUDE

[Boilerhead]

I read years ago that the human eye couldn't discern any more than 4 million or so colors. That was back when the Amigas had 16 bit color available out of a 24 bit palette and most peecees were still using CGA :P

Aren't the extra bits useful for something else now?
