Hi enner,

If you're looking to just run some benchmark tests and see how it compares to other systems, download a program called 3D Mark 2001. If you want a good game to play that can really push your video, check out Jedi Knights II.

Unfortunately, the software has not caught up to the hardware, so all the neat features which your card is capable of will only be utilized when your card is obsolete. Thus is life. :)

Doom III or any other game that has not come out yet will do. Personally, I am waiting for a Halo port. Consoles just cannot do a FPS justice.

Respectfully,

However, if you have power to burn on a game, say 100+ fps, that's more than you need, juice up the AA and anisotropic filtering, 60-90fps would still be great.

Yeah AA is pretty good, especially with Flight Sim. Your card should be able to run at 4x AA in flight sim with full detail settings!

Doom III looks absolutely brilliant though! I saw a few screenies and I can't wait.

Oh, I forgot to mention Comanche 4. Start putting on extra features in that game and it'll stress most systems. Quite nice looking game.

Yeah, great looking terrain. And needs a GeForce3-4 ti to run at full beauty, but it still isn't very well optimized for the card (should run even better than it does, but that is not the cards fault, its the programmers of the game)

Probably the earliest games that will be coming out to take true advantage of the GeForce4 and above are:

1) UT2003 (can't wait for it, looks jaw dropping)
2) Doom3 (see above )
3) Unreal Episode2 (see above )
4) Unreal Warfare and Quake4 in the distant future.

Thank you for playing. (er, something like that)
