We should seriously start up a "Buy TBird a 9800" fund. I'll chip in $20 :D. Not so much to make him stop talking about his Ti4200, but rather to show him what he was missing out on this whole time and show him how slow the Ti4200 has become ;)

Well here are the screens. Tbird, why don't you post some screens for yourself and compare yours to mine. I dare you! :cool:
Uh... dang I don't have any webspace to put my screens on to put them here. Can anyone provide me a link to a free webspace provider that works for that purpose?
Anyways, using 1280x960 full settings I can game between 30-45fps, using 1024x768 full settings I can game at between 40-60fps. If any of you A.D.D. readers forgot, the game is UT2k4 playing Onslaught game mode.
Hmmm u got a extra 4200 u dont need tbird?? I need to buy one for my daughters rig to replace the gf2pro...
No NO! this is where your supposed to sayQuote:

"2002 called, they want their video cards back"
Or you post the back to the future car image and say "Hey Thunderbird when your back in 2002 can you pick me up a Ricky martin cd?" :D
There a lot replies because we fear for the n00bs that don't know any better. If a Ti4200(and the Ti series in general) were as good as he makes it out to be...there wouldn't be a problem. Sadly, this is not the case.:(Quote:

Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to find out that T-bird is really sapasion or GB_Cobber or someone like that just messing around and seeing just who knows what. heh
T-Bird...I'm still waiting for the pics. I'd love to see the IQ you game with. Also, I don't mind giving you extra time to get them since I know it might be difficult to take them on a system that is only 3DMark stable.:)
If you take TB logic in getting video cards to other parts of the computer...
Its like buying the same processor over and over and over again to find one that overclocks just a little bit more...
How silly does that sound?
That whole 400 points increase in 3DMarks is maybe .25 frames more per second in a game...
Not worth it!
Dude, its worth more bragging rights...*insert rolleyes here*Quote:

It's all about the e-penis! :p
Well, ti4200s aren't exactly what you call a "big boy". What T-Bird's doing is equivalent to giving a "pencil" some viagra. Not gonna come close to the grandaddy ePenis (a 9800XT).Quote:

That is such a gross way to call a 9800XT a 13" ePenis..Quote:

Are you trying to say that the 9800XT is the Ron Jeremy of the video cards? :DQuote:

thank me guys......theres a broken ti4600 for only $19 shipped. not my auction obviously. The ti4200 I bought off ebay has a much better chance of working than that ti4600 too. However anyone that wants this ti4600 can use it for parts. The ram chips may be useful for other cards or projects. also you can save the heatsink if your own fan breaks, use that. then theres many capacitors. finally some may just use it as a paperweight or hang on the wall. I am bowing out of this auction and giving you the chance. I have no need for two geforce4's on the wall ;)
Oh, I thought he was talking about Long Dong Silver..... :p :D But really T'bird, you've got good ram and mobo now, it's time for a REAL gfx card upgrade.;) The Ti4200's good, but, really! I'm getting a lil tired of your constant exhortations of its great performance. Go for a 9700Pro/9800NP and up, and you'll NEVER look back.....:DQuote:

Funniest **** I've ever read in a tech forum....
Guys, lets be honest. T-Bird can't get any other video card until 2007 since, well, that would make him the biggest hypocrite ever!
The Ti4200 seems to meet all his computer needs...afterall, 3DMark will run on pretty much anything.
Well his overall system performance right now dominates mine. I bet he can crank up the details higher than me right now, albiet with no FSAA/AF, though I only use AF once in a while anyway. I don't like FSAA at all.. :mad:
As long as he is having fun, that is all that matters. :)
