I've been wondering, Nvidia has gotten 6 flavors of GF4 out already, one can't help but wonder if they are going to give us others?
We have already 3 Tis, the same as a year of GF3 now and 3 MXs.
Do you think the GF4 has more than that? Such as future DX9+8XAGP Support Cards? I am sure they will push bandwidth so 8X would come by. What's the next 6th month card?

Will 8X AGP realy do much to improve the speed of today's video cards? The slowdowns are still on the card, not the Bus, and don't believe most cards aren't doing that much over 2X anyway (3x maybe?).

Now, if they can do QDR with the P4 Bus and Rambus, why can't they do that with videocard memory? There's a big slowdown in memory bandwidth, and doubling it would help.

As for new tricks that would be nice, how about adding the DX8 features to the MX line? Hopefully, they won't do something like they did with the MX200 and MX400 (a speed downgrade for the MX200). Personaly, I would prefer that they make more of a differentiation between the GF4 and the GF4MX name wise.

ATI has talked about doing it with a DVI adapter, but I would love to see video cards working towards HDTV outs and able to output to TV at better than 800x600.

Well like I said, pump up the bandwidth and all the fill rate stuff, so that 8X is in the vicinity!
Couple all that with QDR and I think 8X should be just fine and we should get almost twice the strengh of today's cards!!

Well nvidia has set the 3D Market back to the stone age with the GF4 MX.

I Love playing on my GameCube or PC cuz there both ATi powered... :smile:
