Well after installing the latest drivers on my ati 8500, I'm probably going to go pickup a NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB DDR since its in my price range to test out some things. I can still use my 8500 on one of the computers I'm running on my LAN. I'm just frustrated over the anti aliasing issue. SO far in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and MS Flight Sim 2002 the anti aliasing just doesn't seem to work!

IS anyone running the NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB DDR or a model similar with either of these two pieces of software that might have seen the difference between the two in performance and anti aliasing?

You know I don't need PERFECT graphics, I want performance but a little bit of eye candy at least. FS 2002 looked like crap to me last night when I was testing this out.

One last question, there's a 64 and 128MB version of the Geforce4 I mentioned above. Obviously I wanted to go with something with more ram, because you figure ITS BETTER. Well reviewing this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q2/020409/index.h... it seems the 64MB card outperforms the 128MB card on some tests? Why is that? Different clock speed? Should I Still go with the 128?

really appreciate the help from this forum, have a great day...

yes, the difference is from the memory clock speeds

sinse its cheaper to put 64megs on cards compared to 128 (duh, no [-peep-]), gfx card companies usually put slightly faster ram on the 64meg cards.. . and sinse games dont reeally use 128megs yet (at least none that i know of) theres no advantage.

i say, if your going to use the card for 6 months or so and plan on upgrading after the summer, just go with a 64meg card. its cheaper, and more overclockable
