Dell has a new 64MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce2 ULTRA GTS AGP. It runs at 233Mhz
and is the newest incarnation of the GeForce. Although the maximum
resolution is only 1920x1200 (a friend of mine runs N4 with a 32MB GeForce 2
at 1600x1200x16 and gets >40fps) I would venture to guess that in D3D I
might be able to run 1280x960x32 with 4XFSAA and get >40fps. Do you think
I'm dreaming?

The GeForce cards don't do FSAA all that well, I'm not even sure they do
4X at all, apart from that, I'd say that of the current crop of Video
cards, the GeForce Ultra is probably the best for N4 since Papy is using
T&L in N4
Also remember that just because you have the latest all singing and
dancing video card, you also need the CPU to back it up.....

force feedback wheel etc.

Tim,
Would you mind cranking on 4XFSAA at 1280x960x16 (32 is probably gonna kill
it) and let me know what frame rate you get? I've got a Dell PIII-866.
IMHO N4 needs FSAA. Even at 1600x1200 the jaggies are too obvious...
