Get yourself a GeForce this second! There are no other chipsets worthy of
the name "3D graphics accelerator"!

[View Quote] The Radeon 9700 Pro knocks the hell out of the Geforce4 Ti 4600. Nvidia needs to retaliate soon if it wants to reclaim the performance crown.

[View Quote] Trident makes budget video cards mostly for OEM customers. It doesn't stand a chance in the 3D accelerator arena :P

As far as I know, Hercules doesn't make its own chipset designs. It uses nVidia and ATi chips to power its cards. Nobody varies much from the reference design, anyway, you know :P

[View Quote] No crap. Sarcasm is what Bowen is all about. I thought it was pretty evident.

--Bowen--

Jan 23, 2003, 2:02pm

[View Quote] And how much does it cost?

Geforce4 TI4200 for about 140$... The best graphics card you can get for under $150.
I think there are only 2 Radeon's that beat it in performance. But they certainly
don't match for price.

[View Quote] You can pick up a Radeon 9700 Pro for $330 at http://www.newegg.com.

Compare the Radeon 9700 Pro to its designated competition rather than a product that it isn't meant to compete with. It is not a mainstream card.

The Radeon 9500 Pro is ATi's flagship in the mainstream market. ATi's version of the card costs $160 at newegg.com. You can buy a slightly less powerful "powered by ATi" card with the chipset for $141. There is also the Radeon 9000 Pro, but it is less powerful than the 9500. The 9500 PRO outperforms the GF4 Ti 4200 in non-CPU dependent benchmarks.

Be inventive. I don't often use "1337."

Correction: the $160 R9500 is not an ATi retail card. It's a "powered by" card manufactured by Sapphire Technology Ltd.

[View Quote] I'm afraid that I don't keep profiles on the writing styles of every member of the newsgroup, Bowen. I don't read very many posts here. I didn't know whether or not you used numeric typing often or not. It wasn't a very obvious sarcastic remark.

Jan 23, 2003, 9:03pm

Here's a tip: If you want people to know you're joking, make it
extremely outlandish, such as:

Trident ownz j00!!!!1111 ;P

Note the ;P for added clarification. Most people recognize that as some
form of sarcasm/joking.

[View Quote] Well sarcastic comments aren't usually meant as jokes. I thought it was fairly
obvious I was being sarcastic; I'll make sure to rectify that next time.

lol Shred. Well if your any kind of hardware enthusiast, you'd know that
Trident totally sucks. :-P
I got a chuckle when he said the comment, being a previous owner of a
Trident card myself.
