I was using PC Anywhere through a VPN when I was running the bench. I did it
in person and it was about 6200, the GFX score was still nearly identical
and the Average FPS was the same 18!
Yeah, the GF4 really sucks now! Shame and to think I paid over $300 at the
time =)

Ghehe, i guess all PC Hardware become obsolete (?) one time or another...
You notice it with the high end gear most clearly...

My office PC has a GF4 Ti4600 (45.23 driver(Win-XP))on an NF2 board,
XP2600+, 2 sticks of Corsair XMS2700. Nothing overclocked but its tweaked
and runs very fast. I'm using a Promise FastTrack TX2000 with mirrored
ATA100 IBM drives.
Aquamark3 scores very poorly!!
Score: 18329
CPU: 5807
GFX: 2175
Average FPS: 18.33
TPS: 6108 K
Games based on DX9 will be totally unplayable at 1024 X 768, medium quality
and with NO FSAA/AF. Maybe at 800 X 600 and still with no FSAA/AF.
Crazy?!
The GF Ti4xxx card series is arguably the best dx8 card series, but that
does no good for dx9...
Sigh...

fish said:I agree. Although after playing games at 1600 X 1200 for so long, I find the
jagged edges at 1024 X 768 sort of unacceptable.
I WANT to run FSAA and/or AF and at that my average frame rate is only about
35 with a low of 10 and a high of 125.
That's hardly fast enough - its actually NOT fast enough but it will do and
I'm running an overclocked 9700 Pro and an Overclocked Pentium 4 at almost
3.3GHz (1Ghz FSB)!
Anything much less is hardly playable without FSAA and AF no less with.
Well, yes...
Software will always be able to outstrip hardware, but that is a good
thing...
It means newer, faster cards! I to wish for full effects at a minimum 60fps
( well, 85fps to match my monitor refresh - it's kinda old - off lease
rules! ), but I remember my integrated video days and then getting my ATI
9000pro! Well, I will tell you we are just *so* spoiled! Intel/AMD,
nVidia/ATI - see the parallel? People want the Intel to have the AMD
efficiency, what a killer chip that would be! nVidia gross speed with ATI
shaders!
Sigh...
Next-gen of both will probably meet somewhere in the middle...
But,
they *still* won't *really* be fast enough...
HL14, Doom57, UT2007...
