Cool, i can't wait to get a GeForce 4, it is one of the biggest leaps in Graphics architecture in a while. Now if they could only sell em cheaper.

Always a new one coming out. Hard to keep up.

By the time a fully GF4 compliant game is released, the GF10 will be out

Not THAT BIG of a leap.

Look here:

ATI RADEON 8500 unlike NVIDIA GeForce3 supports dual-monitor configurations. Now this support is implemented in GeForce4 as well.

ATI RADEON 8500 can perform hardware MPEG2 decompression. Now GeForce4 also acquires hardware MPEG2 decompression.

ATI RADEON 8500 has a more efficient Vertex Shaders unit than NVIDIA GeForce3. GeForce4 got 2 units of the kind.

ATI RADEON 8500 supports more "advanced" Pixel Shaders than NVIDIA GeForce3: version 1.4 against version 1.1. By GeForce4 NVIDIA squeezed all juices out of the old architecture to announce Pixel Shaders version 1.3 support.

ATI RADEON 8500 boasts HyperZ II, which is more efficient than Lightspeed Memory Architecture of GeForce3. GeForce4 now boasts Lightspeed Memory Architecture II.

At last, ATI RADEON 8500 works at higher core and memory frequencies than GeForce3 Ti500. GeForce4 Ti4600 is now working at even higher frequencies.

All in all, we have every right to state that NVIDIA GeForce4 has almost no bottlenecks, and its performance is so high that the other today's graphics chips will not be able to get even close to it.

Well, some of you may be upset that no 3D revolution burst out, however, revolutions are not always a good thing.

Firstly, fully-fledged support of DirectX8 in games hasn't become mass and a new revolution could possibly harm the coming of DirectX8 and shaders into "public".

Secondly, the launching of new graphics cards will cause the prices of the already available solutions to drop, which will make the graphics cards with hardware support of DirectX8 more affordable for the users. That is why those people who decide not to spend too much money on NVIDIA GeForce4 based graphics cards will be pretty happy with a GeForce3 Ti500/Ti200 or ATI RADEON 8500, as they will lose only a bit of performance and nothing else. And those who buy an NVIDIA GeForce4 can be absolutely sure that their graphics card is beyond any competition.

The launching of the chips supporting DirectX9 is now moved to a later day, and then the new wars

I just got a visiontek geforce 4 4600TI. just upgraded from a visiontek geforce 3(original).the 4600 is a unbelievable card,SUPER fast,even with 4x AA,8x ani.,and graphics on all games at max.i've owned all the versions of Geforce and i can tell u that this has been the biggest boost in performance and image quality from a version to version standpoint.also the 2d desktop image quality is FAR superior to any previous version. well worth the money.
