I have run a 4MX, a 3 TI and a 4 TI on a 1.4 Ghz
Athlon. The 4MX was able to run in full clip plane, with perfect frame rate in
Firionia Vi at 800x600 with 4X AA. It looks reasonably good with Anti-aliasing
although the text is a little blurry. I tried a 3 TI which looked better and got
the same results. The 4 TI runs perfectly at 1024x768(Probably would run
perfectly at 1600x1200, lol) at full clip plane and looks great even
without AA. I just thought that the game looked better with the 4 TI, but if you
get a 4MX you should be able to achieve excellent frame rates, but it may be
obsolete when the next big MMORPG(Shadowbane, Starwars Galaxies) comes out.
I don't think Everquest supports any features that you will miss out on if you
get the 4MX. The 4MX is just a faster 2MX with better AA features. The bottom
line for me is that the 4TI is a good investment that should last for quite
sometime and should work well even on a 2-3Ghz platform. The 4MX may be
obsolete on future games, but is good for playing EQ.

Subject: [EverQuest] Re: Geforce 4 MX vs
Geforce 4 Ti
Thanks to everyone for their responses. I take it that,
since the Ti
is not pci format, the Mx will do alright. I was concerned
about the
lack of DirectX 8.1 support. The info I have gathered so far
indicates that the Mx is built to support DX 7. Anyone know how the
lack of 8.1 support might affect the game? Everyone who has come in
positive for the Mx has said the frame rates are good enough. What
about other graphics factors?
Has anyone run both the Mx and Ti on
the same system? How did they
compare? Since I cannot run the Ti due to
lack of pci, what am I
missing? Also, how does the Mx compare to a Gforce2
with the 64
memory load? Anyone have experience with such?
