I'm just a little impressed

I'm not sure, the whole Gaming Groove network is down, and I talked to Billy and the guy who did all the coding and was in the know with the servers isn't with the site any longer, so I don't know the new guy's email yet. I'm hoping it's something minor, like a server move or upgrade.
Really a pisser, because it went down when I was working on getting a new news script up, and nothing annoys me more than something that interrupts my coding bliss.

Well for the price I'm not impressed, if a existing card owner has a Ti500,Ti200, 8500 they would be crazy to upgrade to this card. To each their own with deep pockets, this consumer has no such pockets..and no freebie cards given to them either

Only $600 Canadian dollars? That's like $1.50 USD. I'll take one :smile:
No, seriously, I don't see a market for this card unless you really dig high res FSAA. Sure, it's darned fast, but so are plenty of other cards that cost half as much. Ti200 and 8500 are the cards I'd recommend to people. We'll have DX9-class cards before we need the speed of a Ti4600.

Well, benchmark sounds off compared to other scores:
Tom's Quake3 scores with 1280 x 1024 with x4 AA with v1.17 was 62.7 frames with no anisotrophy with the GeForce4 Ti-460.

I hope the scores are accurate because they're incredible numbers.

I'll retest when I get home from work . I couldn't believe the score either , but ran it several times and while one test did show a result of 77fps (because of a pause during action probably because my phone line discconnected from the internet at the time) the other 4 tests turned in identical results of 83.1 , 83.0, 83.2, 83.1 (.1 fps is not statistically significant).
...or maybe he didn't have antialiasing enabled :smile:

I'm showing 79fps with the same settings and no AA.

I just tried it on my Ti4600. In 1280x1024x32 with everything cranked to the max in Quake3 with 4x FSAA and level 8/64-tap anisotropic filtering and got 39.9fps on demo four.

Regarding SSam SE and scripts. There's no need really. Just use the "Extreme GFx" add-on in the game's menu. Using this extreme gfx scipt/add-on results in same settings for everything from a V5, GF1/2/3, Kyro, Radeons and even Savage2K. Just use this extreme add-on everytime you benchmark with different cards. Remember also that all the advanced graphics options apply to both OGL and D3D.
