Author Topic: Got my Geforce 4 Ti4600. This is how it works with Aces High (Read 762 times)

Its amazing.
3DMark2001 SE score: 10k

In Aces HIgh, 1280x1024x32bit WITH the highest level of anti aliasing (4x FSAA w/Super Sampling) and I get 50 FPS in the runway, 75 FPS in flight. NEVER below 40FPS in heavy fighting with smoke and big planes.

And it looks beautiful. I cant tell the difference from my the Voodoo5 5500, except that this is 500% faster.

for $350 this is a great purchase. It should last me a few years, I am glad I waited for it instead of buying a Geforce 3.

I will post screenshots on request.

Now where is that copy of IL-2 Sturmovik...

Animal, how do you like your game theater sound?

some midle quality G4 4600 board in EU is above 600 Euro like the les expensive , will stay on my G3 500 until G5 show up ,

damit paying every 4 month 600 E is to much

Animal's FSB:

FSB is set to 150MHz -STABLE- and Corsair DDR-RAM running at CAS-2

10k is an excellent 3dMark score. The card really helps as does increasing your FSB.

I'm seeing GF 4 Ti 4200 reviews popping up around the net. It must be close to it's release.

The reason I mention it is ~90% of the performance offered by the $400 TI 4600 for $180 US MSRP!

The 128mb model will be a bargain. I bet it will overclock to 4400 levels. I bought the 4600 because I simply wanted the bestest card so it can last me a few years.

I'm seein $650 here for a 4600 +( That was the card I was going to purchase once the summer cash starts flowing, but not at that price.
Hopefully the lesser models will come in around $450 canuck bux..

From the specs I've seen on the memory speed, the 128 MB Ti 4200 will be somewhat slower than the 64 MB model. (And will probably cost more... )

nVidia specs call for the 64 MB model to use 500 MHz (equivilant) DDR ram, and the 128 MB model to use 445 MHz DDR ram. I haven't actually seen a review comparing these two yet, but I can tell you for a fact that the 64 MB card will be better. (It would take an insanely high resolution with maximum Anti-Aliasing on for the 128 MB model to match or slightly exceed the 64 MB model.)

Detonator's or PNY drivers? I just got my Leadtek Ti4600. Seeing massive improvements and using the Leadtek drivers. Wondering if I shouldn't try the Dets.

I'm using the latest from the nvidia site 28.xx
They work well but in XP there is a refresh rate problem, and Refresh Rate Fix program doesnt work with these drivers, so I have to use an utility called MultiRes to fix that.

Whats the refresh rate problem? I have noticed that I occasionally get "a little" stuttering now and then when the action gets really dense (at 1600x1200x32). It's wierd because the FPS never drops below 50 when this is happening... is that a refresh rate problem?

..oh and where's multires?

Thanks

No that seems like a memory issue to me. Try to close all open programs before running AH.

The refresh rate problem is that when running any Direct3D or OpenGL application, the refresh rate reverts to 60Hz, wich gives me a headache.
