FSAA?

I'm running 800x600
Everything on high detail

bought a 4200 64mb about 4 months ago.
run MoHAA at max settings x1024 @ constant 90FPS
i cant see the point in buying a more expensive card.

FSAA = Full Screen Anti-Aliasing

maybe ill just save up for a Geforce FX. happy:

Personally though i would wait until The next step in G force cards come out. That will lower the price of the 4600. .

Brilliant idea chap! I was going to do the same thing.

No problems with mine,make sure you get the new drivers.

Ha, seems I'm the only other one here who understands what AA and AF are...

I have a 128 meg Ti4200, slightly overclocked. AA at Quintex and AF at 4x, and LOD at -2.5 I think. I run 1024x768 with all details on highest, frame rates run either at 30 fps, or at my cap of 50 fps (oddly enough, never in between ??). Snowy Park is the only place that the fps ever drops below 30, and that usually happens when I look up into the falling snow.

As for a recommendation, if you decide to buy, give Aopen a chance and grab their Ti4200 FAST version from http://www.newegg.com I bought it for a clients computer, and although I haven't fired it up yet (waiting on a few parts...) it has some impressive stats. It comes with 3.6 ns RAM, and the RAM comes clocked at 550mhz, and should be able to go higher. And it's priced at 150 bucks.

However, the gap between your card and the Ti4200 isn't huge. Depending on what your cpu is, the upgrade may not be worth it. Chances are your processor will have more effect on performance then the vid card. But I dunno your whole system, so I can't make that call.

EDIT: OH, and btw, you realize that 4x AA is the highest the Nvidia cards go right???

AA and AF as was mentioned are two VERY different things that can have a great effect on your game, its look, and card performance.

For my money, AA in GeForce cards doesn't amount to much - the same in ATI cards. Anti-Aliasing doesn't provide enough of a "smoothing" for my moneys worth, whereas Anistrophic Filtering will take ALOT of that edge of jaggies and not sacrifice game-performance. I prefer AA over AF, and NEVER both at the same time.

And who DOESNT get high ass settings at 800 X600. Please. Setting that low you better be getting good frames. 1280-1024 is the only way to go in my opinion.

when will those GeforceFX cards come out?
