Quoted from an email he wrote me.

"enjoy the Halflife 2 trailers cuz when you play halflife 2 on your
ti4200 it will look like crap

that's why i upgraded to a Radeon9500 with ATI built-to-spec DX9
support. I will be able to enjoy the new high-precision pixel shaders
1.4 and above that allowed Gabe to create all these cool special
effects that are going to make the game revolutionary.

as someone said, nVidia's new slogan is "the way 2 year old games were
meant to be played," so enjoy them with your DX8 card!"


I found it offensive and rude.

Well, we know how he got his ATI card.

Coincidentally, I bet it coincides with the jump in stock price of Astroglide and kneepads.

Post his handle so he can make a few thousand DNT lists quicker than if we ... I dunno, search for your handle in FS/T and find a "SOLD: Ti4200" post ...

That is just sad.

There is nothing wrong with the TI4200 card. I assume it is the 128 meg version. I am considering the same card to upgrade my GF2 GTS.

If you hadn't already paid, I wouldn't take the card.

I have a Ti 4200, 128. It's a great card still, but I wouldn't take the card from him, simply because he behaved like a childish ass.

Kind of pointless thing to say since he wouldn't have emailed that unless he had been paid, eh? ;)

Depends on what kind of 9500. A signifigant portion of 9500s can be unlocked and turned into 9700 pros.
