The highly-anticipated, and initially delayed, NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium for Macintosh is now available for purchase as a standalone Graphics Card Kit for $400. The card was previously available exclusively as a BTO (Built To Order) option for Power Mac G4 owners. The GeForce4 Titanium works with any Power Mac G4 that has an onboard 4x AGP slot. The card sports 128MB of DDR RAM and can process over 1.23 trillion operations per second.

    uhhhhhh.....

    check xlr8yourmac.com to see if you can flash a PC retail version of this card first. The 400 dollar price tag seems a little high.

    Radeon

    My Radeon 7000 PCI 32Meg was 199 canadian

    The 64meg PCI Radeon 7000 for PC is 129.00

    WHY GOD WHY?!! I can see having to pay 70 bucks more for ATI to support cards they obviously sell many times less of their PC brothers, BUT, the cards are also inferior, double the memory for 70 bucks less? COME ON

    Plus it crashes when 10.1.5 goes to sleep.

    As far as the G4 Ti goes, I would certainly try and flash a PC card, the only problem is you'll loose the ADC port :(

    Price down't look too ba

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the cheapest prices for this type of card for the PC seems to be about $320. Then you're dealing with flashing it, and support issues... for $80 max?

    Most of the prices I saw for the PC were in the $340 to $370 range. So, all in all, I don't think the $399 is that out of line.

    Am I looking at something wrong?

    nVidia Software

    The card has a lot of things going for it, but as a Mac geForce III owner I was disappointed by nVidia's complete lack of driver software, other than standard display drivers. No Full Screen Anti-aliasing, etc. in card that pricey this late in the game means nVidia's interest in Mac users is low, low, low.

    I'm stll getting one, and it better run UT like a dream.

    pc card

    I don't think you'll save much by trying to flash a pc card. Make sure to note whether the card you want to flash is not any of the MX series of cards. The GeoForce 4 MX series of cards aren't as good as a Geoforce 3 card, and only slightly better than a Geoforce 2 card. DO NOT BUY AN MX series card or compare it to a Geoforce Ti4 card!

    Ge3 and Ge4

    To the user saying he had a GeForce 3 card and will get a Ti, from what Ive heard the GeForce 3 is superior to this latest card in many ways. In an attempt to make a cheaper card nVidea removed afew pipelines and such from the Ge3 design. While you may notice improvements in some areas you may well notice performance drops in other. I would study any Ge3 / Ge4 benchmarks very closely before upgrading.

    Buying help

    Video cards frighten and confuse me. Is there a card that is the "best"?

    Is the "NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium" *the* card to have or are there equally good alternatives?

    GeForce4 MX, 4 Ti, 3MX

    The GeForce 4MX is no better, though slightly different, from the 3MX. However, the 4Ti is truly a newer-generation card and will be quite a bit more powerful than either of those.

    As for buying a PC card... Personally, I'd miss the ability to use my (17 Studio Display) monitor. After all, PC cards don't support proprietary Apple cabling.
