Talk:GeForce 4 series

Market Acceptance -or- Apple Macintosh Use
Apple used GeForce4 MX widely with their G4 Quicksilver 2002 models for example, utilizing a custom Apple firmware.

Is this significant enough to warrant mentioning in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.242.228.188 (talk) 02:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

MX440 w/ AGPx Issues
I have one and whenever I play fullscreen games even at minumum graphics it freezes, it can't be pverheating, because I added a fan to the tower that flowed air threw the whol tower but most of it ran over the graphics card. What the heck is wrong guys? *I have Windows XP Pro*

'The GeForce 4 Ti outperformed the older GeForce 3 by a significant but modest margin.'

Umm, what? Surely significant and modest can't be used together like that... ?

Yeah it's fine, a modest gain a share price could 0.001 or something but it would be significant if it was the highest that share had risen.


 * Yes, in this case significant = important. Bufflo 23:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

"Known Problems"

I can attest that one of 3 GeForce 4 cards, my Ti 4200 and one of the two Ti 4600 cards had fans that completely failed. On the 4200, I replaced the cooler with an identical, previously used one, and the 4600's cooler was replaced with an aftermarket ThermalTake Crystal Orb.

I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but I figured it could be useful to someone, and it at least helps to verify the information in that section of the article itself. 71.201.59.110 05:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I've found that basically every single fan on video cards from those days died. Cards as new as a 6800 have fans die. You can get a lot more life out of them by pulling off the sticker on one side and oiling the bearing. The fans are just cheap junk. Newer cards with 60-80mm fans I think will have better longevity cuz they simply look a lot higher quality than those coolers of yesteryear, but who knows.--Swaaye 22:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

RAMDAC
The GeForce4 had a 350 MHz RAMDAC, I think.
 * Dual 350 MHz RAMDACs actually. One for each of the two monitor hookups. Older cards typically had an internal RAMDAC and another separate RAMDAC chip for the 2nd monitor (if multimon was even supported). GF4 had two integrated. --Swaaye 22:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I can attest to that I had to replace the HSF on my TNT2 Ultra when i got it out of mothballs because it was dead Candle 86 02:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

update
The Ti and MX tables got an overhaul

ok who got in and played with the tables, i just had to fix some issues with the bandwith and specs again, for refrance the PCX4300 has the same memory width as the MX440 does at 128bit and the same clocks, the MX4000 came in 64 or 128bit. Also the MX460 supports 128mb of memory all NV17's do support it and some last gen MX460's had 128mb Candle 86 02:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

FX5200
This kept the MX440 in production while the 5200 was discontinued,

Why is it, then, that you can still bye them?
