NVIDIA præsenterer i dag deres GeForce 4. I den forbindelse er anmeldelserne begyndt at strømme ind. Tom’s Hardware Guide har haft alle seks forskellige GeForce 4 kort til test og der for en gangs skyld er overraskende mange rosende ord til NVIDIA.
Især Titanium-versionerne (Ti) imponerer ganske voldsomt og high-end modellen Ti 4600 leverer noget nær en pragtpræstation, specielt hvis man tager i betragtning, at GeForce 4 delvist at baseret på “gammel” teknologi. Tom’s Hardwares Thomas Pabst er for en gangs skyld ganske imponeret over NVIDIAs præstation:



It doesn’t really matter which GeForce4 Ti card you choose. You will always be a winner. If you can only spend $199, then take the GeForce4 Ti4200 and be merry, because it is still faster than the former performance leader GeForce3 Ti500. Speaking of which – I hope that no dealer has still got these cards in stock. GeForce3 Ti500 can now only sell at price points of $149-179. This is a steep drop considering its price as of yesterday, which was $299. Who would pay that when he can get a faster product for $100 less?



The GeForce4 Ti4400 is a good product too. It’s well ahead of GeForce3 Ti500 and its brother GeForce4 Ti4200, but for $299 it’s still acceptably priced. Only the GeForce4 Ti4600 is for people who don’t care about how much money they spend. It’s for those who want simply the best. For a hefty $399 they get the best 3D card that money can buy right now.



Some moaners are criticizing GeForce4 Ti for its lack of really new technologies. I would like to remind those people of the performance jump we are seeing here. Isn’t that what really counts? GeForce4 Ti has so much power, it can run with anti aliasing enabled in virtually any game right now. Features alone don’t win customers. They ought to make sense and the performance has to be right too. GeForce4 Ti seems to be a clear winner here.

3 KOMMENTARER

  1. GeForce4 Ti4600 kommer til at koste $399, så 4-5000 er nok et rimeligt bud.

    Det bemærkelsesværdige er at et Ti4200 kommer til at koste $199, hvilket er omkring 1500 danske kroner.
    Til sammenligning koster GeForce3 Ti500 $299, selvom det mindste GF4 Ti-kort faktisk leverer bedre ydelse!

    (GF4 mx er ikke noget man skal bruge sine penge på hvis man går op i ydelse)
