GeForce 4!!

[gokuss4]

ok why does everyone go for speed in video cards? wheres the speed without the graphics. i know a geforce 2 and above card (and a v4 and v5) is better than v3 but i found out that a normal tnt1 card is worst than the voodoo3 and i thought it was the other way around, and the voodoo3 is almost as good as a tnt2 but a voodoo3 just doesn't have as much support for graphics. but i would like to get geforce 2 gts/pro 64mb anyday although I DONT HAVE THE FRICKEN MONEY!!!

SHIiiiiiiit that'll hecka drop the prices of a geforce3 Fast!! hehe, i'll grab one of those mofoes, or an ati8500, has everyone forgot about that one??

)... but coming back to the subject(1st post), it is NOT worth waiting for geforce4 to make Zelda look like zelda on GAMECUBE(actually, i thought the 3d link is much better than the 2d 1 in gamecube but im talkin bout lightin effects and stuff), a geforce4 CAN'T actually IMPROVE the gfx in zelda, i mean, if u have a geforce4 and u run some old dos game, its not gonna look like halo or aquanox i think its stupid to even THINK about that.........

Excuse me, but have you tried Zelda 64 with a high resolution in Project 64?? Have you seen how much better the graphics are?? I own a GameCube and I honestly think a GeForce 4 could make the Zelda 64 look like GameCube material.

 

[gokuss4]

well i dont agree with you zoomer. first of all a n64 has 64-bit max of graphics, while gamecube has 128-bit. so n64 cant exceed that plus it'll look the same cause the jabo d3d plug-in will still be the same.

a geforce4 wont make jabo d3d 1.4 look any damn diffrent than using a geforce2 or a geforce3. not unless jabo (or some hacka')implements geforce4 fetures into the d3d plugin.

i know i know....

Damn, i know i know, u got a FRICKIN' gf3 tesla, but then, my comp has a 15inch moniker, there is NO 1600X1200 HAHA!!!
But then, im PLANNING to change this card cuz n64 stuffs not the ONLY thing i play, and my other games like black&white and giants CRAWL man, i mean, giants 15fpslain: IMAGINE, a P4 running giants at 15fps...AT LOWEST resolution tooo......... And i have to get c&c renegade, halo and stuff running later...those probably won't even WORK......ARRRRGH....now look what ya have done....now im all DOWN...issed:

It won't make it look better. It will only look like high-res N64 with better filtering.

Gamecube is a 32bit/64bit hybrid, not 128bit.

 

[B*A*G*G]

better filtering with a gf4? how do you figure that?

 

[B*A*G*G]

Gamecube is a 32bit/64bit hybrid, not 128bit.

that really has nothing to do with the visuals

there is no way u could make Zelda 64 as good-lookin' as the GC Tech demo Zelda. It is a limitation due to the way the game was programmed. Lets just look at poly-count. Sure, a next-gen gfx card (ATi R300, nVidia GeForce4), should be able to increase poly-count with technologies such as TruForm. but this only makes things smoother. To actually use those polygons to make the models more detailed to match a GC, cannot be done(unless a very skilled hax0r can hack the rom). The GC tech demo also took advantage of many other new features of GC (its a tech demo guys), that was never implemented into Zelda 64.

ive recently connected my comp to my TV. the quality of a pj64 running at 640x480 is comparable to the resolution of an Xbox(im talking about normal TV guys, not HDTV). so all u need to beat a GC in resolution is a card capable of running in a resolution higher than 640x480.

finally ur arguement about cpu vs gpu has been answered many times before (i think by smiff). the concept is simple:

cpu gets u speed
gpu gets u eye candy.

*note this only applys to emulation, thats y u get different results in PC games.

actually.....

actually, in my opinoin, zelda 64 LOOKS better than zelda on gc, i mean HOW could they do THAT to link:angry: ok, so its got lighting effects, BUT, this zelda is a TRUE kiddy game... nintendo's NEW policy of creating smaller games like pikmin and lugi's mansiona dn stuff is not working THAT well. I mean, pikmin was good ok, but pikmin was NO where near as good as mario64 or zelda 64 when they were relased, and i needn't tell u guys bout lugi's mansionissed:

 

[Tesla-Guy]

Well what about Donkey Kong Racing or MarioKartGCN or Super Smash Brothers Melee? Especially SSBM characters and stages are much more than the n64 version

 

[Tesla-Guy]

Oh, and in Giants lower the detail and res. And could some1 give me a link of info for TruForm?
I think i'll upgrade to athlon XP with a agp8x mb so i can get gf4 later
