Final Results And Overall Mark
Well we
have reached the end of the review. Here are
my
final
comments, notes and grades for
NVIDIA
GeForce 4 Ti 4600.

The
GeForce
4
Ti
4600
isn’t a revolution but does provide ferocious graphics power. It is clearly
the ultimate state of the art
3D
graphics adapter available today on the market. Neither the ATI Radeon
8500
nor the GeForce
3
Ti
500
can measure up to the GeForce
4
Ti
4600.
Overall this brand new GPU provides a dramatic performance increase of
20-30%
over the GeForce
3
Ti
500.
With so much power, the best of class
3D
graphics adapter lets you enjoy a demoniac framerate when using
2x
or Quicunx anti aliasing modes in
1024*768
or higher resolutions ensuring fluid gameplay.
With
higher frequencies, more memory, new hardware technologies and smart
algorithm tweaking combined to the brand new nView technology NVIDIA
confirms its leadership. Being displayed at the same price as its
predecessor the GeForce
4
Ti
4600
remains expensive. All in all the GeForce
4
Ti
4600
is clearly a good buy especially when you consider the performance boost and
the new features it offers. However the lack of support from renowned
manufacturers like Hercules can, in a way, limit the adoption of the GeForce
4
Ti
4600.
