OK I GOT A NEW VIDEO CARD

[thesithman]

Yep i finaly got a new card. Its an Nvida TNT 2 M64 32MB card. i know that 32MB is not much but its better than 2MB! I can finally play Predator vrs Aliens. HEHEH WHAT FUN. Does anyone know how to beat the second level on the human campain?

i didn't even get past the first room... i got dizzy playing it FYI... the m64 is not exactly geared for todays games.

 

[kendogg]

haha I remember my first real pc had a 2mb trident video card.. or was that 1 meg hahha

welcome to 3D gaming, brother!

Now that your hooked, start saving all your pocket change in a jar, and in like 2 years, you'll have enough for a sweet new card. Repeat as necessary.

And use Amex blue for all tech purchases. It's a nice way around murphy's law that your brand new retail radeon 8500 will drop $90 seven days after you bought it. (hee-hee! that'll cool the wife down, too!)

human campaign in AvP is scary.... the dark rooms...
Undying is even scarier

LOL! Enjoy your new video card thesithman.

And when you're ready for something faster, feel free to come back to Anandtech and we'll be more than happy to help you out.

OK thank you. Does anyone know where i can get the latest drivers for the G card? I looked at windrivers but they wanted me to pay $$$ before i could look around and see if they had them.
I am in level 5 in the ALIEN campain and level 4 in the predator campain. I am still in level 2 on the human. LOLOL
The first Unreal lookes awsome!!!!

And i thought that my Geforce2MX 400 was old news...LOL

I think the tnt 2 will use nvidia's detenators. Grab them here. Congratulations on your new card...I'd imagine that must be a big improvment. Don't let anybody rain on your parade for not having a $400 geforce 4 either, it makes a lot of sense to stay a step or two behind the bleeding edge.

Ok, maybe you shouldn't try the newest dets. Look here for older dets.

$400 for a Nnidia Gforce 4 my butt! I can get 1 for $180 out of Menphis Tenn. That is like 200-300 miles from here and it would take about a day to ship it.
Besides i dont have agp slots so i cant use 1!

Yeah be very careful - if its a GeForce4 MX, then avoid it like the plague - it's slower than a GF3. If its a Titanium card, then buy one for everyone here and make 20 bux profit on all of 'em ;-)

i have a tnt2 m64 on a compaq 400mhz system running the latest detonator drivers from nvidia.. runs counter-strike pretty good.

edit: my memory may be bad, but i think the trident cards back when i had a intel 486/33dx (w00t!) pc was 1MB. it wasnt til i got my k6-233 with diamond viper v330 riva card that had 4MB. and i was like.. w0w! 4MB. what am i to do with all that video ram..

 

[BillZad]

There are 6 different GF4 cards 3 MX series cards, 3 Ti series
420=$99, Ti 4200 = $180
440=$180 Ti 4400 = $299
460=$229 Ti 4600 = $399

geez....you took that kinda personal didn't you? sheesh

[thesithman]

I did not take it personal. I just think its kinda stupid to pay $400 when you can get 1 for $180.
