Accuview Antialiasing Engine
For the best possible performance, compatibility and visual quality
without the dreaded “jaggies,” the GeForce4 Ti features NVIDIA’s patent-pending
Accuview Antialiasing engine, which utilizes hardware-implemented,
high-resolution multisampling techniques, including 2x, 4x, Quincunx and a new
4XS mode.
Accuview’s flexible architecture affords end users the greatest choice in AA
modes and performance, delivering two to three times the antialiased performance
of all other high-end graphics desktop solutions. This level of performance
enables full-scene antialiasing to be viable as the default mode of display.
Lightspeed Memory
Architechture (LMA) II
To drive all of this integration, the GeForce4 GPU incorporates NVIDIA’s
Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II technology to boost effective memory
bandwidth by up to 300% and improve overall memory efficiency. Radical new
technologies—including a 128- bit DDR memory interface, Z-occlusion culling,
fast Z-clear, and auto precharge— effectively multiply the memory bandwidth to
ensure fluid frame rates for the latest 3D and 2D games and applications.
NVIDIA nVIEW display technology
NVIDIA’s nView hardware and software technology combination leverages
NVIDIA’s industry-leading design expertise to deliver multi-display
functionality of immense flexibility. Users now have the ability to drive any
combination of analog, digital or television displays from one video card. nView
incorporates built-in attribute and performance tuning for each of the different
display devices—including CRTs, televisions, and flat panel LCDs—and provides
for completely intuitive and flexible work environments. The GeForce4 Ti GPU
delivers the most artistic, compelling, interactive and immersive experiences
available today, and is the only GPU capable of enabling a new generation of 3D
desktop PC applications.
- Windows® XP native multi-display mode
- Up to nine simultaneous displays through
Microsoft Control Panel
- Enhanced Window Management, including
enhanced windows and dialog-box positioning flexibility; windows and menus
transparency capabilities; and thumbnail zooms for quick visibility of hidden
windows within a cluttered desktop
- Comprehensive hotkeys support, offering
unlimited flexibility in binding actions to hotkey.
- Up to 32 completely different working
environments saved as separately named desktops

We tested NVIEW display technology
in all possible ways. Actually the rig I am typing this feature on still is
equipped with the GeForce4 Ti and will likely stay in there as I love the card
and multiple monitors.
Thanks to the integrated Dual
RamDAC I have now connected three output devices to this videocard of which I
can use two constantly. I have chosen for a dual-display setup a long time ago.
While doing my editorial work for this site I find it extremely convenient to
have the ability of an extra screen. It makes my work a lot easier and faster.
I believe some games could support
this feature also, but there are not many of them and I doubt you would use
them.

If you look closely at that mousepad you'll
recognize it as an official 3dfx mousepad ;)
If you have broadband internet
connectivity then you probably have or will download DiVX movies also. That or
playing DVD's right ? Now if I turn of the second monitor at driver level and
switch to the TV-output I then make use of the third cable I connected to the
rig. The SVHS (SVideo) output can be used to send a PAL/NTSC video signal over
composite or SVHS towards you television/projector. I loved this feature on the
Radeon 8500 and I love it even more on the GeForce4 Ti. In fact, make an
All-in-Wonder version of this videocard and I'll have a smile on my face that
will last days people ...
