what visualal effects? t-buffer? HA! Who wants a blurry far ground, or blurry, confusing trail. The only features that the T-cuffer brings that matter are soft reflections and FSAA. FSAA works on the G FTS2. Soft-reflections are easily done. The speed/price of the V5 sucks ass.

The blurring imitates what you see in real life and movies, etc. The point of 3D rendering is to try to match real life as closely as possible.

[about not knowing whether geforce will pull 89 mhz bus]

yes you can. you can say 'on average'. on average the celeron 300a will hit 450 mhz. on average a TNT2 can pull 89 mhz agp bus speeds. thats all im asking for..
i know how overclocking works, dude!

several mentioned hard drives. if your don't want to hack up your promise card, the new KA7-100 have the on board ata100 + raid support. pretty spiffy, if your looking to upgrade your mother board/cpu too. though i suppose this doesn't matter since your going the celeron route.

geforce 2 gts all the way, 趤 (until may 26, with prmotional offers from the buy.com sites)

I tried UT on a friends machine, but didn't like enough to buy the game. If I see it for less than ฮ, I might get it, but the best I can manage around here is แ.95. And I figured out that DVD is actually better with my Geforce than my old Fury; I just hadn't enabled DMA on my DVD drive again after installing the Geforce and VGart drivers. And a few DVD's that had troubles with ATI work properly now. All in all, I would definitely recommend the Geforce 2 GTS.

im not sure if you all realize this, but q3 and UT are optimized differently. UT puts most of the burden on the processor, and q3 puts more on the graphics card, and can take advantage of the gpu more. thusly, on two different machines, depending on the processor/graphics pairing, you cant make good comparisons. Case in point, my friend has a dual p3 500, tnt2 system, and it runs UT at high resolutions with high framerates, but in q3, i can get better with my p2 450, geforce sdr(not overclocked) because it takes advantage of the gpu. to settle the debate, someone should buy one of both and stick in their machine and try it then. Im not gonna do it, cause im fucking poor...anyway, remember this when comparing stuff with q3 and ut.

Q3A seems to run faster for me. I have a 300mhz Cyrix with a V3 2000, so what you're saying sounds pretty accurate.
