?????????????????????????
Nope. There is actually a GeForce4 Ti4800.
But i wouldn't get any of the best cards, however, as they are very expensive.

If your going for a new videocard you might as well just go buy a GF3Ti.

Personally I wouldn't buy any videocard right now because of the new GeForce FX card. Once they start to hit the shelves all the GeForce 4 cards will drop in price quite fast.

I bought a Geforce4 Ti 4200 with 128MB for $140 about three months ago, and the card is quite a performer for the money. I'm sure you can find one for about $120. I get a 3DMark score around 9100 with it without overclocking it.

Have a look at the 9500Pro to. I am also getting a new graphics card soon, but I only have a budget of $300 AUS dollars, so I'm looking into the G4TI200.:phone:

My functional GeForce4 MX440 cost me £60 ($90) and does the job of N64 emulation very effective indeed, but I think its the processor speed is more important for this job as my 8MB SiS integrated could display Goldeneye 007 well, it was just my 450MHz clock speed which made it run at 7fps. These expensive cards are pretty much useless at the moment, as games have not been developed to fully utilise the features. These cards are much more a means of 'future-proofing' your system, so you will not have to upgrade in a hurry.

Clements is spot on. You will see no difference between a gf2 mx or the top end gfx card on the market. Sure you could make it look prettier with antialiasing, etc. but is that worth the extra mulla? Even if you want one for computer games a gf3 ti should be fine. Graphics cards are so ridiculously powerfull that they will not be pushed to their limits by any game for ages.
Invest the money in buying a really fast cpu, then ram then ze rest. but then again its your money.... some people just need to have the latest and greatest.

Actually, the gfx card plays a big role in today's games. The gfx card's speed is determined on how good it is. And if it's slow, then the processor will have to wait for it to complete. A good card is required for today's games. Although, it doesn't really matter in the n64 emulation.

ahh

Here's an excerpt from the Ut2003 Readme, it is more or less spot on:-
For people considering upgrading their machines, here are some tips based
on our experience running Unreal Tournament 2003 on a variety of
machines:

1 The biggest performance gain in Unreal Tournament 2003 comes from
having a state of the art graphics chip.

2 The next upgrade that tends to improve Unreal Tournament 2003
performance is upgrading your CPU.

3 Finally, lots of RAM helps. With memory prices continually falling,
it's now reasonably affordable to upgrade to 256 MByte of system
memory.
So there u have it:) Personally I would go for MIDRANGE CPU and high end gfx card, the money u save on the cpu could b eused for a good vid card...my comp runs well now that i have the radeon 9500 PRO...so get a radeon 9500/9500 PRO+ or gf4 ti 4200+ for best performance...

Yup, the video card is a huge proponent in 3D PC gaming...

On my lowly P3 800 I went from a Kyro II to a Radeon 9500 Pro (http://steelkiel.tripod.com/outwiththeold.jpg:happy: ) and I went from mediocre to fantastic performance in everything. That's before turning any extra features on. Even with everything cranked to all hell, my frame rates are much higher than on my old K2... :D
