Great review, but what games would take advantage of all of these features? I was reading MaximumPC (April Issue), and they brought up this point. Not too many people around need anything better then a GeForce3, or at least in my opinion.

Page 4 and page 5 are the same. It appears the page that should show the test configuaration is missing.

Yeah... what did you test this on?
My PNY Geforce 3 Ti500, Athlon XP 1800+, nForce 415-D (No Integrated Graphics), PC2100 DDR, with NOTHING overclocked, scores 8227 in 3DMark2001 SE @ 1024x768. You bench only scores 7717.

That's how it will be with any new release using a new generation of video technology, especially on the highest-end offer like the Ti4600. Game companies have to make games be able to work on much lower-end systems because not everybody has a Ti4600 for example....It will take some time for games to start getting released that will really make use of the technology in the GF4 (NV25), it always does.

You're right, I went around the net to take a look at a few reviews and noticed that some of the other scores were always a few hundred points higher (Although note that the differences between all of the cards is correct...). The odd thing is that I'm looking at our review of the Ti500 and the Ti500 scored 7440 on 3DMark2001 (not SE) @ 1024x768....
Also an odd thing I noticed is that our Radeon scores seem to be fine....Also, not everybody's reviews show higher numbers, this one is from Gamer's Depot:
I'll contact Visiontek and find out if they have an idea as to what the bottleneck may be...

I like it but it will be phased out fast, based on the benchmarks I ran, I think the Ti4400 will be the most cost effective card, but we'll have to see in my Ti4400 review coming up
How did your Ti500 break btw?
Also, for those of you interested in knowing what the deal is with the VIVO cable, I e-mailed my contact at Visiontek about it and got this response:

We had to switch dongle vendors but we finally have enough to begin fulfilling the email requests, along with a copy of PowerDirector. We had to order a bunch more tshirts, so that's all we are waiting on. We should begin shipping these items within two weeks.

VisionTek 4600 - Shimmering?
I did not have this problem with the G3. Many of the buildings have a swimming effect. Very annoying. Even when I run 4x FSAA its still there. Can anyone explain why this happens. Someone mentioned it was a mip map issue. Is this something that will be addressed in a newer driver. I have read some reviews and they do mention this swimming effect.
Tks BobG
