Both looked damn good but the fact that the GeForce4's extra vertex/pixel shader and a bunch of other features made it look more eye popping.

Is there a link for the compared screenshots?

....

Maybe better suited for the video card forum, but don't GF4's have full support of DX8.1 and some kind of advanced pixel shading? I've been out of the whole gf4 phenom so I'm out of the loop...

Are they really bascially the same card?

GF4 is faster than the GF3 thanks to Accuview FSAA (faster and supports higher resolutions), Lightspeed Memory Architecture II (I believe it's 4x 32 bit interfaces instead of 2x 64 bit interfaces - makes memory performance more efficient) and a second pixel shader, part of the nFinite Engine II.

However, 3D features list is basically the same as the Geforce 3.

Actually that's only partially true, GF3 supports PS 1.0 and 1.1, GF4 supports PS from 1.0 to 1.3 (ATi R8500 is still the only one to support 1.4)

not true at all, I've figured out everything about why it's taking so long to release.. They want it to look The Best Game Ever, so the use the most advanced engine available, they started with Q2 engine, moved Unreal Engine v.43x, now they'll propably move to Unreal Engine v.8xx, then to Doom3 engine etc etc, changing engine until there's games that look identical to real world, after that they decide, since all new games look like reality, they can't make it look any better, so they dump DNF :D

However that makes the GF4 no more DX8.1 complient than the GF3. DX8.1 spec states 1.4 pixel shaders, so the R8500 is basically the only true DX8.1 card.

After seeing the two movie demo's for Star Wars Galaxies it looks the best by far. C3PO looks like he's straight out of the movie on the one movie from the official sight.

Now there is no arguing about the best graphics. All you have to do is say one phrase.

Doom 3 does look impressive but I'm still most impressed with Galaxies.

According to one of the dev's for Galaxies, "no machine known to man" can run the game with its graphics maxed out. He said they are doing this because they want a 5-year life cycle for the game. The game looks awesome now with it not even maxed out.

This info comes from the new video taken of the game actually being played at E3: http://swg.stratics.com/content/gall...os/e3/e3.shtml

After seeing the video shown at E3 I can fully say 100% that it will be worth it. The only word I could utter while watching it was "OMG!" I mean look at how far games have changed in just a few years time!
