Just the card, not the whole computer setup !

Personally I use a Geforce 4 TI 4200 [64MB] om my main computer.

And a Geforce 3 ULTRA [64MB] on my old computer.

What kind of card do you use, I am interested in how many there are using really old cards versus new cards.

My thougts are, if perhaps 90% uses cards equalent to Geforce 2 or better, Hitech would consider a gfx update in the not to distant future.

Geforce 3. I never buy the latest and greatest, I wait approx. 1 year after they hit the market since A) The software finally catches up to the speed these new cards support, and B) the price is about 50% less than when they're new.

A survey done on this BBS won't tell much about the AH userbase.

GF3.

Ati rage II(fear the 8meg, barely-agp, non-3d video card!)

But today or tomarrow GF4.

These boards only have the most dedicated AH players on them. The vast majority of players, to whom AH is just another way to waste an hour or two, are less picky about thier hardware.

Geforce 3 64MB card. I'd like to see HTC take an online poll one weekend when AH is full to get a good representation of what the community is using. Perhaps v1.12 will be the last version using this engine? HTC said they are thinking of a new engine next year and if v1.12 takes around 4 or 5 months then that takes us into the middle of next year almost. The graphics are starting to date a little now (unless they can do something nice with the DX8 stuff) but it's the great features they keep adding that keeps me here, the mission editor, ingame vox, regular updates, great scenario's.

Hercule Kyra II 64Mb

Btw, I changed 2 weeks ago from a Voodoo3 card, and i did'nt notice a big difference, (with the exception of the framerate in clouds and smoke) maybe I have to change something?

Hint & tricks, someone?

I know Popeye, but still it is worth the try

This far:
Geforce 4 has 4
Geforce 3 has 5
Geforce 2 has 5
Ati rage II has 1 For another 48 hours

I assume Hercule Kyra II 64Mb is Geforce 2 based, or is it ? Anyone ?
