accura, the 4200ti would have done the same job for less money as its easily clockable to 4600ti speeds.. but the 4600's have a lot of tweaking to be done to get the full potential.. put your old car in the machine and run 3dmark2k then run it with the 4600, im sure youll be impressed then ;)

I got a GF 4 TI 4400 by ASUS.. 128 mb ram..

Id say that the 4400 cards are the one u get most for the money... the price has gone low now.. and with this card, it follows a tweaking tool, so u can clock it up to a 4600 easy. U do need to have a low temperature in ur machine tho.

afaik u cant clock up the 4200 cards to 4600.

I got a amd xp 2100, 512mb 2700 ram..

im very happy :D

i do admit i can run any game on the maxium settings and the speed is fantasic, however maybe the MX or lower TI cards could do the same for less money. ???

I think the RAM is the problem here. I have the same card (altho the 8X AGP) version and I notice a HUGE diffrence in speed, framerate and overall performance.

Need to add that I upgraded the while computer aswell. XP2000 +768 mb ddr ram.

Just wait a bit till the games get more advanced then they are now and you will soon see the other cards fail. and upgrade to atleast 512mb ram :P

Couldn't agree more. I'm running gf2MX400 64Mb cards at home and work (1.2 and 1.4GHz Athlons). The gfx cards are now out-dated and at the limit of their performance but the 512Mb RAM at home and 1Gb at work make the biggest performance impact.
Even so I can only run UT2003 at 800x600x32.
TBH it's down to what games you play, UT2003 needs gfx and RAM in balance, bf1942 needs less graphics and maybe more RAM depending on the number of players on-screen.

Accura your machine should run rings round either of mine if you have 512Mb RAM in it :)

bring it on Def2k mine would have yours any day ;)
i have 256mb of DDR RAM atm and i'll get 512Mb DDR more making
768mb of RAM :) i might overclock my CPU as well but i'm not sure

]x[ · 05-12-2002, 22:19

I got an athlon XP2000 768 mb ddr/333 vid card with 128 mb/ddr and a lot of other useless speed crap :)

Accura · 06-12-2002, 11:13

hmmm what speed is your RAM ?

montie · 06-12-2002, 18:35

corsair xms 3000, tweaked to limits.. 3dmark of 12800

Accura · 07-12-2002, 12:55

ahhh corsair the expensive RAM, having never used corsair i dont know if it makes a difference. I hear it's faster then normal RAM is there any truth in this?

montie · 07-12-2002, 14:04

i bought the samsung original 2700, and had to get rid of it.. was poo. i wouldnt say my corsair 3000 was noticably faster. but alot more tweakable which then made it alot faster. the corsair will let you overclock more. as the fsb goes up the speed of the ram increases alot. this is only noticable on benchmarks really though

my samsung wouldnt even run 166 @ aggressive timings

my corsair does 24/7

I have a 1.4 gig athlon, Abit KGR-RAID, 512 megs DDR RAM and I upgraded from a Radeon VE 64 meg DDR to a AOpen Geforce 4 ti4200 and it made loads of difference except to games like CS and things but with UT2K3 it still really tests our my system. Not sure what I actually need to upgrade next I got my new 19 inhc monitor, new keyboard and mouse, only thing left to alter is the cpu and I don't know how high I want to go with that. Any suggestions, Is it worth me ditching this old school amd athlon and going for an athlon XP 1.6 gig or 1.8 or something ?

montie · 07-12-2002, 19:41

my system runs any game out there.. xp2000, abit kx7 these 2 would cost you about 130-150 GBP
those are the only bits i would change of your setup
