How silly is that? Thats like saying a TNT can "look just as nice" as games run on a 6 series, without all the effects the 6 series can do, that the TNT cannot do.
THANKYOU!!
I've played games on Ti4200 cards. Even HL2 looks just as good as it does on my 6600, minus shiny water
And of course any of the other DX9 features as well as PS1.4 features. Give me a break, you cannot possibly argue that a 4200 looks as good as any card out there when it is so many generations of technology back.
That card unlocked is roughly the same speed as an unlocked 9500, unless you get a decent overclock on it. Plus it costs more. It may be worth it, but we're talking big budget sector here, and many won't mind saving a bit of change.
Yeah, but who would unlock it and not OC it at all?? Additionally, you do forget that this card is:
A. New
B. A Generation ahead
C. Offers MANY features over the 9500 (I can list them)
D. Both cards need softmodding (When this card is softmodded and OCed it will handily beat the Unlocked 9500)
You're almost outdoing rollo, except with a laughable 5900xt I guess you can't pull the superiority complex.
You are incomparable. Everysingle thread, all you do is drop in and troll. Instead of mindlessly flaming me why dont you form your own opinion. Almost everyone else here can have a logical, well thought out argument; try to follow suit.
That doesn't make it a gimick. Sure it is dissabled when your framerate drops below 60 but it comes right back on when the framerate picks back up again. If you don't like vsync then TAA is pointless, but for people like me who insist on vsync it provides a notable improvment in image quality whenever the framrate is high enough to sutain the effect and with no preformace hit at all.
I dont mind VSYNC. For some reason i have to keep it on or my screen is unreadable and almost scrolling all over the place. While in some games TAA can be a very nice addition. In another part of todays games, you are not going to be able to pull 60fps; more specifically to fit this thread, tomorrows games (ie 1-3years down the road) will not be running at a nice happy 60fps. TAA remains a nice feature, thats about all you can say about it.
I've played games on Ti4200 cards. Even HL2 looks just as good as it does on my 6600, minus shiny water, but even that can be remedied. Of course, if you had a card with crappy picture quality, that is the vendor's issue, and not the chip's. Yes, I already said that I know you will have to drop the resolution to get more playable framerates, which is one way you could say that the game would not look as good. However, that's rather subjective. I find that after 12x9 to me, you get extremely diminishing returns as far as picture quality goes when you keep upping the res. As long as it's 10x7 it looks pretty good to me.
Ok a 4200 can run with all the features from its timeframe (ie PS1.1 etc...). Therefore there is no reason why a 6800 series chip cannot run with the features from its time. Down the road none of these cards today will support the new specs for graphics standards so they can only run with the feature set given at the time... in which case the 6800 series will run in SM3, with all that other crap; whereas the X800 will run in SM2.
You're almost outdoing rollo, except with a laughable 5900xt I guess you can't pull the superiority complex.
Well actually it is because i am only 17 years old and have many other things to spend my money on. When i got that card almost 2 years ago, it was on sale, and it had the VIVO features which i needed for much less than the 9800's (which were clearly the performance leaders). So why dont you get off my back, about what hardware i am running and either:
A. Logoff
B. Contribute to this thread.
