- Start date
And if you notice in Anand's conclusion, he's expecting announcements about nv11 in notebooks and macs...

If you ask me, there was much too heavy an emphasis on Q3 in that test. I'll need to see more benchmarks before i can reach a conclusion.
Other than that, it looks like a winner. At $120 for a 32MB card, I have a hard time imagining anyone buying a $180 V4-4500. It'll be interesting to see 3dfx's response. I've heard rumors about a die shrink.

This is almost lame. Memory bandwidth is a serious problem, and they outfit this card with SDR memory?!
Oh well, it is still a nice card for the dough.

In The Test page...
Matrox Millennium G400MAX 32MB (would not run on Athlon platform)
WTF? I've never heard of a g400 max that wouldn't run in an Athlon machine!
I remember him asking someone who had a K7V/K7M here and a G400 MAX what he did to get it to work...but it didn't work for him. Crazy sh!t.

i spent 5 minutes looking for an existing thread before I posted this one.
The price is killer on this board! Can't wait to see what the price will be for oem's/retails from onvia - coupon + pointclick.

EDIT: i'm sure Nvidia knows the memory bandwith problem, but this is for people who would normall be buying a V3-2000, and the price is the less than Geforce SDRs

dl, nope.

Well, seems like the V4 4500 can kick some ass in certain programs...I'm quite shocked to see it hanging in there so well. Maybe D3D and Glibe will work quite well with the V4 4500...at moderate detail levels and resolutions.

dl, here ya go (about the laptop deal):
<< Although it doesn't buy you the gaming performance of its $300 older brother, the GeForce2 MX definitely gives you quite a bit for your money. A few months ago could you imagine that you'd be able to pick up this caliber of performance for less than $120? At only 4W of power consumption, could you imagine this kind of power in a notebook? While NVIDIA doesn't have any announced plans for a notebook implementation you can expect to hear something about that as well as seeing the GeForce2 MX in Apple computers in an announcement or two later this year if everything goes according to plan. >>

I really like the TwinView feature so you can use two monitors. Just like the DualHead from the G400 And the price of it is excellent!

I must say, now that I'm playing a bit more Quake, it seems to me that 60 fps in demo001 is just a minimum, and I'm not even hardcore. Dunno about you other guys, but I don't think I'd run much beyond a Geforce 2 at 1024x768 at 32-bit. Even a DDR Geforce is pushing it at that resolution. However, in terms of Unreal Tournament it seems that lower rates are quite OK.
It will be a while before I upgrade my vid card again.

OMG! They jacked matrox with TwinView...they should really get some engineers in there and come up with their own damn ideas. :|
Heh, sorry, but I really was about to say, "Wow way to go on this budget card nVidia, it looks great." Till I saw they jacked matrox's dualhead and called it twinview. :|
<< Again, just like DualHead, TwinView allows for various ?modes? of operation with two monitors. The standard mode allows for your desktop area to be spread across the two displays. Application exclusive mode lets a single application be assigned to a specific display, this includes DVD playback on a TV as your second display. Clone mode, as the name implies, duplicates what you see on your primary monitor on the second display. And finally, application zoom mode allows the second display to act as a zoomed in portion of something on the primary display. >>
That is exactly what Matrox's Dualhead does...I think they have a patent on dualhead actually.
Whatever, nVidia never has and never will have 2d that can match matrox's.

Whoa Zipster, calm down buddy.
They didn't "jack" their idea. Everyone knows that Matrox had Dual Head long before nVidia did. They are simply incorporating that idea into their own. It's a damn good idea.
If you want to play like that, and start yelling at everyone that copies someone elses idea, you better start bitching a whole lot right now. We would be no where if everyone was forced to come up with their own original, completely unrelated from anyone elses ideas.
Hey, Matrox has had plenty of opportunity to thuroughly exploit their DualHead. So it's not like nVidia is playing dirty here.

I hope they put them in notebooks. It would be the only "real" video solution. I was holding off buying a notebook until there was a better solution and this may be it
Still could be at least a few months before we see anything though

Damn, finally a high-performance parts poor college students like me can afford
Yes, I've dumped $300 on a video card before but you can only do it so much with these 6-month product cycles....

With Nvidia's connections with Dell, Compaq, IBM, those cards will be running on a laptop in no time.
Zippy, I think this is good competetion to Matrox. You really though no one will come out (copy) with dualhead features? hehe

How can you criticize this card? Name a better solution for less than $120.
This is an excellent strategy for nVidia.
