Asus V8170 Drivers For Mac
As well as the part listings, the press release mentions new technologies called lightspeed memory architecture, nview (for dual displays), and accuview antialiasing. Unfortunately, pricing was not given.
The asus geforce4 cards are expected to be shipping in quantity in late february 2002. Rob's opinion i don't think nvidia is going to be too happy about this information leak from asus. Even so, it will surely fuel the anticipation of the company's next generation video chips. One of the geforce4 mx card specifications mentions the use of integrated ddr memory. I wonder if that is the chip that is going to be used in the apple power macs?
Also, if nvidia could integrate the memory on one chip, why not do it for all of them? The top-speed geforce4 ti 4600 chip looks like it will be pretty fast indeed.
The 660mhz ddr memory clock along with a 330mhz core demolishes the older gf3 ti 500, which runs at 240mhz core speed with 500mhz ddr memory. I'd be surprised if there weren't some additional performance enhancements built in as well. I'm pretty sure that the higher clock speeds reflect a move from a.15 micron process to.13 microns updated: this was incorrectly listed as.18 and.15, thanks to jason o. For pointing out the error by tsmc, nvidia's fabrication plant partner. User comments 96 comment(s). (2:59pm est tue jan 29 2002) these cards look like they'll be really fast, but does anybody have any guesses/insight on how the mx will be set up? On the gf2, there were four pipelines, and two on the mx.
Since it has been reported that the gf4 will have six pipelines, do you think that the new mx will have three (since it's half the pipelines of the full version), or still only two? Three pipelines wouldn't make very much sense to me, but what do i know? Either way, with these core and memory clock speeds, it looks like all but the lowliest gf4mx with sdr memory will be able to run rings around just about anything out there today. – by me bammage! (3:03pm est tue jan 29 2002) i want one – by de@d st0p sweet (3:04pm est tue jan 29 2002) there should be some pretty kickbutt games taking advantage of these cards by 2007. Oh wait, it will probably just be aquanox 2.
– by whatfor? (3:06pm est tue jan 29 2002) i'm more than certain i'll be having wet dreams tonight!!! – by shadow74205 you'reforgetting the biggest thing here (3:20pm est tue jan 29 2002) the non mx versions have 128 meg of ddr onboard: workstation class graphics may actually become affordable. A very big developement indeed. – by warplex apple g4's (3:42pm est tue jan 29 2002) looking at apples web site (and the graphics card details) confirms that the geforce4mx supplied with the 933mhz and dual 1ghz g4's will be the geforce4mx with integrated ddr memory.
I wonder if this means that the boards will be a lot smaller (and i guess the die size of the chip a lot larger). – by matt bah (3:54pm est tue jan 29 2002) faster video? I don't see the point. I know i've ever had to sit on my hands waiting for a screen refresh! And i don't know anyone else who has either. Most of the time i'm waiting on either the hard drive or the cpu, (and these days it's rare to wait on the cpu.) hell, even 10 years ago video cards were plenty fast.
For real progress let's get some speed going on the mass storage. How much do solid state drives cost these days????
– by aracona re: aracona (4:05pm est tue jan 29 2002) if fast storage is what you crave, why not load up on ram before the price goes up too much. Then use a ram disk of 20 megs or so and enjoy. Although, if you do this you'll probably strat wanting a geforce4. – by get a grip 5 cards?!
(4:06pm est tue jan 29 2002) how many geforce4 models are there going to be? Is every manufacturer going to have 5 models? This is a little ridiculous. I have to believe that high-end gf4 cards will be around $500. Who is willing to pay that much?
I doubt many consumers, even gamers, would shell out that kind of green. I recently bought a gf3ti200, it runs everything i throw at it with ease. I think i'll wait a couple of years before i upgrade my video card. – by lt cox wow (4:15pm est tue jan 29 2002) i've been wondering when the geforce was going to hit 128mb ram. It's about time.:) of course, my lowly tnt2 32mb still does the job for every game i've ever played, but it's always nice to see things being pusehd forward, whether there's an immediate use for them or not. – by jacob the need for speed (4:16pm est tue jan 29 2002) this stuff is great! When i was a kid, it was bigger and better carbs, headers, traction bars, panhard rods, injectors, forged pistons, 4bolt mains, street slicks, borg-warner t10s, etc now my kids can race this stuff!
At least when you crash this gear you don't end up in the hospital or a morgue, and you can't get a $250 speeding ticket on the internet! – by owtg tsk, tsk, tsk (4:24pm est tue jan 29 2002) “bammage?” “wet dreams?”. You're all brain-washed.
Think about how much power you really need, not what marketing/ads are telling you that you need. You're probably the same people that buy processors on mhz alone. Good little sheep -uh- consumers, right this way – by eyad gf3 =.15 (4:36pm est tue jan 29 2002) all the gf3 cards were produced on a.15 process, and the ti cards were built on a more advanced.15 process.
The n27a (xbox gpu) was also built on.15 process. I think the new chip is built on.13 – by jason o. The need (4:38pm est tue jan 29 2002) i don't need roller-rockers, ported and polished heads, a dry sump system, or no2 either but i'll race you for your certificate of title! We need it because, the information highway is ours!
– by owtg nview sounds the most interesting point. (4:38pm est tue jan 29 2002) this will surely take the wind out out ati's sails. Hydravision was the one thing that ati had over nvidia, and now that's gone. Nforce and dvi? (5:09pm est tue jan 29 2002) has anyone seen an nforce mb that is actually supporting the dvi interface???
I'd actually like to know if their dvi implementation can handle 1600×1200 as well. – by dw yea, (5:11pm est tue jan 29 2002) but not the only thing. Look at all the allinwonder (god i hate that name) can do. Either way, hydravision is 200 – 250 bucks while g4's are 300-500 – by warplex yay (5:36pm est tue jan 29 2002) it's not so much the new cards i'm crazy about, but it does mean that i'll be able to afford a gf3 sooner than later – by god™ do we really need 128mb (5:39pm est tue jan 29 2002) seriously, do we really need 128mb?
I don't see framerate improvments from my 32mb to 64mb cards, what good is 128mb gonna do? Kinda like putting 512mb on windows 95, it can't use all of it. – by zaph1 geforce 4 info? (6:07pm est tue jan 29 2002) anybody know what agp this is coming out for? I heard somewhere that its for 8x.
Would be confusin – by surlyfly geforce 2 standard (6:37pm est tue jan 29 2002) i glad to see this! Now i think these software developers will get that geforce 2 is now low end. – by mpeg3s big deal (7:04pm est tue jan 29 2002) nvidia is going to make the official announcement feb 5 and several hardware sites already have the full specs up for the next gen card. Even your breaking news is 2 weeks old. – by oldnewsallthetime dammit (7:11pm est tue jan 29 2002) nvidia ticks me off. I have a geforce 1 and it works great with every game i play. Nvidia's reference drivers and elsa's drivers for it do not support direct3d in dx8.
So looks like they're going to force me to buy a new card. Not until i'm done bugging the hell out of elsa to make the drivers. – by necr0 workstation class gf4?
(7:11pm est tue jan 29 2002) forget just plain-old agp! Adams were are all the games (7:16pm est tue jan 29 2002) ok, thats great and all but it doesn't really matter if you have a voodoo 5 or a geforce 4 your graphics are not going to look alot diffrent. Look at how many games are out there that take advantage of the geforce 3 not alot. My advice, stick to a low end card geforce 2. It can run everything and you can still buy something else. Computer games are not up to par with the video cards these days.
It just doesn't matter what the specs nvidia spits out. Games can't use all the power! – by joey i mean (7:45pm est tue jan 29 2002) diamond monster fusion 4 has 128meg of ram. We got a consuemer grade one with 128, see the connection? – by warplex oh yeah baby (7:57pm est tue jan 29 2002) this f@%#king rocks!!! Man i just hope all these game developers can keep up.
So far they barely even tapped the specs on the gf3. But i use maya and definitely would see a boost in performance for real-time work flow. I bought a gf3 6 months ago and now im salivating over this gf4 w/128mb! – by:p what's amazing (9:55pm est tue jan 29 2002) is that a few years ago, top of the line opengl boards costing $4k didn't have the performance that the gf4 is going to have. Not just raw fillrate power, which most opengl cards suck at, but polygon crunching geometry acceleration as well. More and more 3d artists are getting started with high-end gaming cards, and it's putting pressure on 3dlabs and whoever owns the firegl these days. This is a great thing for folks like me.
I've got an oxygen gvx 420 that screams on my dual athlon, but i expect it'll be obsolete in about a year. With the extreme downward pressure being put on the big boys by high-end game cards eating their low-end products, i expect it will be much more palatable to my wallet when it comes time to replace my 3dlabs card. Marine hmmmm (10:21pm est tue jan 29 2002) you mean those cards are better than my 1 meg trident?
– by ralph macchio geforce 5.6.7.8 (11:13pm est tue jan 29 2002) before you go buy the latest and greatest and most expensive video cards, just remember that most games don't even take advantage these cards. I'll wait till the end of my usual 3-4 year cycle before i upgrade. Perhaps in 2005? Only if i really need to – by jh man!!! (1:19am est wed jan 30 2002) i'm sport'n wood allready!
– by dman666 geforce, radeon whatever. (1:43am est wed jan 30 2002) there's nothin' out there right now can use a ge4 – kinda like my old 351c mach 1 – no roads to let it unwind for any length of time. I guess i just like sticking hot new expansion cards in my beige plastic box and i love the smell of hot silicon in the morning. – by rkg machine why is it?
(1:47am est wed jan 30 2002) why is it that whenever new technology is introduced many people cry that we don't need it? Familiarize yourself with moore's law.
Things will keep getting better and faster and just because some people are unhappy about it for some reason, it's not going to stop. In a few years, you'll be using the geforce4 in your computers and complaining that the geforce7 is useless.
– by kirk need for speed? (3:37am est wed jan 30 2002) i've got to agree with eyad. We all follow the marketing hype and spend a lot of money just to keep at the cutting edge. One of my colleagues was telling me about his system.
Athlon 1800+, geforce3, blah, blah, blah. He claimed to be running quake3 at 125fps. I asked him what his monitor refresh rate was set to 100hz. Fit for purpose is a phrase i use a lot. There is no purpose for the ultra fast graphics cards yet. Give it 3 to 4 years and we might see some decent tests of power, until then i'll stick with my hopelessly over-powered geforce2 and freecell. That card flew over there.flawlessly.) – by english guy to my knowledge (3:43am est wed jan 30 2002) gf4 is still made on.15 micron process.
Nvidia opted for new kind of packaging that has some kind of integrated heatsink. That allows the core to run at significantly higher speeds. Well, that's what i read at beyond3d.com. I guess we'll know for sure soon.
These should be pretty damn fast cards. But i might get a matrox instead ). – by janne memory speed (4:10am est wed jan 30 2002) sorry, but there is something i do not understand the fastest non-rambus memory for pcs is ddr 266 mhz with the upcoming ddr 333mhz, why are you speaking of 660 mhz memory, which should not be even within the reach of ddr ii?
– by matteo memory (4:42am est wed jan 30 2002) speed of ram has always been faster on video-cards than on pc's itself. We have had 200mhz ddr-ram (400mhz effective) in video-cards for a while now, and that speed is still unreached on pc's. – by janne my video card cycle (4:57am est wed jan 30 2002) 1997-1998: voodoo graphics (voodoo1) 1998-2000: voodoo2 2002-2002: geforce ddr 2002-????: geforce3 ti200 (oc'd 230@500) – by anon doh! (4:58am est wed jan 30 2002) typo above, supposed to be. But than again its always the graphics community begging for more.
Its never fast enough for us.:) – by:p gf 3 ti 500 (4:38am est fri feb 01 2002) anyone like to buy it? Going cheap!!! – by davvo geforce4 shipping date?
(11:01am est fri feb 01 2002) i know they are supposed to announce (at least officially) the g4 next week but what exactly does this mean? Does that mean that they are announcing that cards will actually be available in a couple ofweeks or are we tlkinga bout many months down the road? I'm running a v5-5500 and would like to get a ti-200 g3 but now i have to wonder about how fast the price will drop on this card because of the announcement of the g4. So, does anyone know what the announcement really means?
Is there a projected delivery date on the g4's at all? – by pman geforce4 (11:13am est fri feb 01 2002) i could use one right about now.hmmm.
Low on funding. First generation geforce256+ will do for now. – by ionnuke this is great but. (12:58pm est fri feb 01 2002).where are the 64bit cpus? We need 64bit cpus!!! Sgi have been using 64bit processors for the longest time.
I cant afford an sgi. We've caught up in terms of video graphics (somewhat) but we're still in the stone age w/32bit processors. – by:p hey windows xp user (1:41pm est fri feb 01 2002) i used to have a voodoo 3 2000 pci. It served me well but a lot of my games looked terrible on my nice 19″. Buy a card thats around $100-150. Try for geforce 3ti or ati radeon 8500. They are direct x8 compatible and support win xp.
Might wait around when gf 4 ships cuz then you'll see a hefty price drop on gf 3 products! – by jh windows xp (2:10pm est fri feb 01 2002) thanks jh, that's exactly the type of direct, straight forward answer i was looking for. – by can't keep up games (3:42pm est sat feb 02 2002) games do use the power of modern cards, aquanox will only get 37 fps at 1280×1024 without fsaa on a geforce 3 ti500. With fsaa it would be unplayably slow.
Besides some people like to have the fastest machines whether they use the speed or not. Do you think all ferrari owners drive everywere at 200mph? Im gonna get one just so i can say my pc is faster than any game console (especially xbox, ha!) – by peter i agree (7:35am est sun feb 03 2002) peter i agree fully i have to have the best in the best in my machine, so it is an undisputed fact it is faster then anyone elses machine and any console. Why do you think i bought a gig with geforce2 ultra when they where first released. I must say though my ultra still manages to handle just about anything i throw at it. – by peter 128mb (3:18pm est sun feb 03 2002) the video memory won't make the card go faster, but it will allow games to load more textures into the video card. That's where the beneift of more video ram comes in.
Call me a lamer, but i'd love to see flight sim 2002 on one of these cards. It's a lot cheaper than a real cessna, and almost as realistic! – by nevo i love my gf3 128mb and i have it now (4:28pm est sun feb 03 2002) um, guys gainward geforce3 ti200 golden sample (128mb 4.0ns) is available, and has been for awhile. Us$187 by my listings.
Merc – by mercenaryforhire not for most (2:30am est mon feb 04 2002) i do alot of modeling and animation and i use a gforce2 on a dual athlon 1.2mp right now i am screaming for more proccessor power than gpu power. I can move,rotate and manipulate a 400,000 poly dragon model no problem but when i render it into an animation with nice scenery it takes a week to render a 2 minute animation. I would buy the new geforce4 if i could buy a quad athlon 1.8. And by the way 125fps frame rate is stupid film producers know that for years 30fps is what it takes to achieve realtime effect to your brain. Unless the (125 fps) is how fast the character is moving feet per second and that helps them win.
Directx9 (3:58pm est mon feb 04 2002) i read that ati is coming out with a new card that will support microsoft's upcoming directx9. I want to upgrade my voodoo3 2000 to a geforce3 since the price will be dropping soon, but is directx9 support important enough that i should wait? Will i be able to use the geforce3 with directx9? – by can't keep up macs all the way (7:56pm est mon feb 04 2002) i don't no crappy nvidia card with no 660mhz memory! All i need is my mac and my 2mb o/b video card! I don't need framerates, i play counterstrike all the time and i almost never die! Becasue my computer freezes when i run!
I hate nvidia! – by macaregayandsuckdick faster vido (10:52am est tue feb 05 2002) i hear all the hype about faster vido cards. Do we need them? Well i dont know but i was happy when the bus went from isa to pci and then to agp. To me some ones going to fill them boots – by huntermj one good thing (12:49pm est tue feb 05 2002) the only good thing to come out as a result of the ge4 is the procedrop on the ge2's and 3's. – by isildur is it ever fast enough? (6:38am est thu feb 07 2002) i find that my xp1600 with gf2mx400 (64mb)handles return to castle wolfenstien @ 1152.864 w/ everything set to max, yet medal of honour will only run at max at 800.600 w/ every thing at max.
My point being that this is still a relativly high spec pc yet within 3 months of building it, it struggles with new games. – by (r)nut where hiddeth game writers. (2:51am est sun feb 17 2002) speed wu-chi,maybe.r.p.g.speed great.wonder why challange of game endures.
Writers of caliber vanish before the next game box,speed card is released. – by william s.ski re: (r)nut (10:07pm est sat feb 23 2002) maybe you shouldn't expect much staying power out of the reduced-functionality bargain-basement nvidia mx cards. They're also hard to describe as “high spec” at any point in their existance – they're designed so dell and gateway (and others) can skimp on video cards to cut prices. – by dean ween upgrades, upgrades, upgrades (3:40am est fri mar 01 2002) i just bought the gf3 ti500. Uhmm, about 2.5 months ago is when i got it.
Guess what i'm gonna buy the ti 4600. Why all this insane madness? Because i can.
Because i'm a graphics card junky perhaps. I have in storage at home 2 geforce cards 32mb, 1 geforce2 pro 64mb, 1 geforce3 ti 200 64mb, and soon 1 ti 500. (crazy aren't i:) anyone says that one is just as good as another is throwing bs your way. It's all about preference and money. I just built my cpu (amd ath 1.4 overclocked to 1.6) shuttle ak31(3) mobo, 1gig ddr ram, 80 gig hd 7200rpm, sb xgamer, cable modem/ethernet card.blah blah blah. I will probably build me another cpu within the next 2 months. Hey, anyone know if they make a motherboard for dual amd athlons 1800+?
That would kick arse! Anyways, if ya want go get it. If ya dont, then get whatever you want. Market scams.
Its called consumer choice and advance in technology. – by rocket dual athlon motherboards (1:18am est tue mar 05 2002) #du alsocketa.
Asus V8170 Drivers For Macbook Pro
Asus and tyan onlyso far. – by jarhead selling yer old card (4:00pm est tue mar 05 2002) i read pretty much all these posts and no one seemed to mention the advantage of upgrading sooner rather than later because you can actually sell your “old” graphics card because its considered low end instead of compeltely obsolete. This argument isn't about market hype and stuff, its about keeping current and not loosing all your money by having old $400 video cards that are worth 2 bucks noaways.
My.199 cents – by azbok another card. Already (12:22pm est wed mar 06 2002) damn i just got my gf3ti200. I don't have anything that uses it nothing. I have an athlon 1.6ghz, 512megs, etc. And i am still waiting for a game that really uses it. Where is doa3, mgs2 and games like it for the pc. Damn i am tired of playing quake and all its clones.
Why don't we have rogue leader?? I say it's time we gamers ban together and let these companies know we want new games that really use the hardware. – by fed up geforce 4 ti is great, but (12:23pm est wed mar 06 2002) when is something going to come out that actually takes advantage of the new features specifically? I don't have a burning need to run high aa for the several games i play.
Sure, several months from now we'll have a new version of doom, but it's not as if excellent stuff like soul calibur 2 is coming out for the pc anytime soon. I love my geforce ti 200 and pc games, but it's getting a bit ridiculous getting these cards that cost more than a whole console when very few games are really pushing the technology. Especially when you consider that games just beginning development now that would use it won't be done for a good 12-24 months. – by ninjak geforce4 (10:32am est tue mar 12 2002) hey i think its great having newest cards, im a gamer and the more the games becomes more realistic, the more it needs power! I have a geforce2 and some of the new games that just came out i dont have enough power its shoppy i like playing fast at high quality 1280×1024 graphics, i sure hope geforce4 is a great card whats next a 256ddr memory card:). The only thing is that i find $500 for a video card way too expensive, for about $1000 u can buy a whole computer these days.

I find about $150 to $250 canadian dollars for a video card is worth to get. – by eric hmm (11:46pm est tue mar 12 2002) the only think i find crappy is that new computer/console games cost $50 — how gay – by tcnsauk imagine. (6:18pm est thu mar 21 2002) imagine if someone tries overclocking this sucker with state-of-art cooling. That would be crazy! Someone has to do this, so tell me if you do. – by a random monkey gf 3 ti200-help (4:42pm est mon apr 01 2002) i bought a gf3 ti200 last week,its awesome but my games keep crashing.any suggestions out there?????? – by nighthawk ya, i have a suggestion (3:03am est sat apr 06 2002) try plugging your graphics card into the agp slot.
Only a suggestion, might help a bit. – by asswipe anonomous oh ya, (3:04am est sat apr 06 2002) download the latest drivers you fucking moron! – by asswipe anonomous gf 3 t1200-help!!
(4:27am est wed jul 03 2002) i believthe problems can be foud in your bios-settings. (hit “delete” during boot, or f8) also do i not know what motherboard you have, so i can only give you this. Find settings related to your videocard perhaps the ucsw setting (on/of) or somn like forced write.
But most likely its the “drive strength” it goes up to “ff” (aa,abff). Other settings there may do some wonders as well. If bios doesnt say what they are go look on web on bios tuning for videocards.:) – by chrome a inno3d geforce3 t1200 w/64mb agp (9:51am est tue may 04 2004) a inno3d geforce3 t1200 w/64mb agp – i purchased this product in 2002, it was in my pc for 1 months, it then failed, when i boot up it works fine, after about 1 min it reverts to 3 or 5 bit mode for no apparent reason, any ideas please. – by lexx (miss) busty (3:51am est tue mar 08 2005) – by vfabusty news (8:10am est sat dec 31 2005) thanks – by www.donanimmerkezi.c.
