Graphics Is there a good enough game out there to test my graphics card??

Hi everyone...

I have an NVida GeForce4 128mb graphics card

So naturally I want a kickass game to test it out with, but are there any games which require more than 16mb? That seems to be the max. So even when i tweak everything to the max, i still dont think i'm getting as good as you can get from my card....

....does anyone know of a game with a high min req. or one that you can really tweak up to the max?

 

ATM the best game for the GeForce 4 is called 3dmark2001 seriously though, there are very few games to test a GeForce 4 to its max.

Get some games like RTCW, Max Payne and so on, turn on anisotropic filtering and FSAA, set your resolution as high as you can, and enjoy the speed! GTA3 is out fairly soon for the PC as well (some say this wednesday for the UK) so get that, and also UT2003 and Doom 3 in the future.....

 

will do

 

MoH on full everything, my fps drops to 40 sometimes ....well only on omaha.

 

thanks for the tip

 

they minimum spec or recommended spec for the game is only what you need to run the game on the lowest graphics settings. Run 3d mark 2001 or you can get a quake 3 demo from somewhere which loops its self and mullers your graphics card.

Also why do you need to test it out your are poor on jedi knight so just leave it at that.

 

yea best ive found is MOHAA in a VERY dense foresty areas with full visuals on + complex shadows n everything. VERY testing for CPU + Gfx.

Also - get SOF2 (when its out) the jungle levels are VERY graphically intensive cause of all the trees and shrubs that need rendering.

 

thanks for the tips everyone....will try MOH

 

Morrowwind in 1600x1200 with EVERYTHING enabled includin antistropic filtering.

Your computer will crawl

 

never heard of Morrowwind...whats it about?

 

no body's said where to get 3dmark

so i will www.madonion.com

tis gooden.

 

is there a free demo anywhere?

 

lol people with 2ghz+ and a gf4 get like 12-20fps on morrowmind outside, with full graphics on


purty game

 

morrowmind sounds good....

 

You could try Specviewperf - thats a benchmark which taxes even the GF4 - check out the result I got with it here.
Until then I`m waiting for Unreal 2 as its the first game to use a next-gen gfx engine, should be good

 

Go here for more info and pics of morrowind!

 

thanks for all the info guys

 

I tried a benchmark a while ago and my average fps was 34 with a XP2000+ and a Ti 4400.

cant remember what it was called though.

 

is there anything free (like a demo of one of these things) that i can d/l to test it out??

 

You could test Aquanox, as it's the only directX 8 game, that's out by now (as far as I know).
