Features

Accuview Antialiasing EngineFor the best possible performance, compatibility and visual quality without the dreaded jaggies, the GeForce4 Ti features NVIDIAs patent-pending Accuview Antialiasing engine, which utilizes hardware-implemented, high-resolution multisampling techniques, including 2x, 4x, Quincunx and a new 4XS mode.

Accuviews 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 NVIDIAs Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II technology to boost effective memory bandwidth by up to 300% and improve overall memory efficiency. Radical new technologiesincluding 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

  • 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.
