[QUOTE="Stinger78"] My experience with a GF 4MX was that it was better than the GeForce 2MX, which I upgraded from. The ripoff was the 'upgrade' from a GF 4 MX to an FX 5200. Very quickly that got replaced with an All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro and I could do justice to games like Half-Life 2, Doom III and Far Cry :)_SKatEDiRt_
Yeah those fx 5000 series were even worse, still i really think the geforce 4 mx wasn't all that much better than the geforce 2 mx. The geforce 3 was way stronger than the geforce 4 mx.
Thats why i was a total rippoff to me, That was the first time they actually brought out a new card that was weaker than the previous one. All geforce 2 were stronger than geforce 1 and geforce 3 was always stronger than geforce 2. The geforce was stronger than the riva tnt 2 and so on.
It's a rippoff that's been shamelessly done today though, look at all those cards you have, imagine what a nightmare it must be for someone to buy a videocard that doesn't know nothing about it. He can buy the latest card thinking he did a bargain, and then he can't run the latest games lol.
I will never going to forget the moment when i saw someone play far cry on a ge force 4 mx, it just didn't support all the textures lol.
I loved my geforece 6800Ultra 256mb. favorite card of all time
I couldn't afford that back then, i got stuck with a geforce 3 till 2006 and then i bought an xbox, the hardware you got for a lousy 250$ was amazing. That geforce 3 served me well for a very long time though, i could even run f.e.a.r allthough on low settings, it still looked good .though
