I do as my master!

When I first got my Pentium II (my first REAL gaming PC.. before that I owned a 486) it had a "nice" Riva 128 8MB graphics card.

After 1 year I got a TNT2 Ultra 32MB.. That one I kept for 3 years.

When I got this PC I bought a GeForce 4 Ti4200 (64MB), and I reckon I wont be upgrading anytime soon. Not until the newer PC games demand a new card at least, so I expect it to last maybe 2 years or so.

Like Souly said, I dont need 100+++fps.. 40+ fps is fine by me. :)

i made the mistake of buying an ATI card once.
it will never happen again

 



Granted NVIDIA had better cards back in the TNT2(best card name) Gefore 1 -2 era, oh and yes ATi\'s driver support in the past was not up par to NVIDIA\'s.

With that being said, The cards they are delevering now are amazing, driver support is much better. Heck My next card just might be an ATI, I mean hey look at my name FOLKS!

ATI  is 10 miniutes away from where I live here in TORONTO and I can get a deal on those suckers!! LONG LIVE ATI

It\'s about time some other company takes the crown from nvidia cause they were boring the crap out me. Remeber competetion is good, drives prices down "abit" and forces the competetion to work hard and create more innovative ideas

I guess it isn\'t. :)

You do get a nice vacuuming sound though.

And it has a look that is similarly spectacular to the 3dfx Voodoo5 6000 at the time of its launch.
