Whats Up

I need to know what type of video card I should buy in order to get the graphics on the pj64 emulation to not be so boxy. I could see the potential of the emulator when I tried to play Mario Tennis but I think its just my card thats holding me back. Please don't tell me plug-ins because I have the best and newest ones to date from egmu. So any reccomendations? and if possible a price range from 50-150 $ thanks all

I'd recommend a Geforce 4 Ti 4200.
You should be able to find the 64 MB version for about $150 (US). It has the same features as the Ti 4600 but is clocked slower (you can fix that by overclocking

). I've got the 128 MB one (cost me ~$180) and don't have any problems other than documented glitches.

How do you know you really need a new video card? While a new card may help in certain areas, it's not going to be a magic bullet that fixes all N64 emulation problems. Sometimes it really is the plugins.

i dunno about that....
I have Geforce 2 MX and its not that far difference than my friends Geforce 4 MX
cant say the same with the TI series tho, i never checked it out.

anyways,
can i overclock my Geforce?

search for nvidia coolbits..... its a registy patch that allows you to overclock ur geforce by clicking properties on the desktop, settings/advanced properties/geforce/additional properties/clock frequencies

any ati radeon will do the job flawlessly for jabo's plugin. i cant say the same for most of the others. eg n64gl, daedalus and glide64.

only problem with ati cards is that they have shotty support for OpenGL as they seem to focus more on DX for some strange reason *cough*Microsoft pay off*cough*

The GeForce 4 MX is a total waste of money. It's not even as powerful as a GeForce 3, so there wouldn't be much of a difference between yours and your friend's.

Tell your friend he is an idiot for buying a crap card.
