Perhaps the chese edition of GF4
You can get it in a supermarket, together with some chese
New PR trick from nVidiots to sell GF4MX after ID said that GF4MX will be a bad solution to use on Doom 3
It won't be as pretty as a Geforce 3 or Geforce 4Ti, but it will still work quite well. I don't think Id are going to throw the very large base of Geforce 2/ Geforce 4mx users out.
Besides, if Id want to sell the engine to other companies that make games, it will have to work well on older equipment (geforce 2 GTS or better).

well, when the made doom(1) they threw everybody with cpus under 50 mhz out, and with quake you NEEDED a pentium(or atleast 100mhz 486) to run it at playable speeds.
yes, i can just see them throw the gf2/gf4mx userbase far away.
to put it in perspective, epic threw the kyro2(because of lack of T&L) userbase away, regarding unreal2(atleast officially).
think about it, there is a much wider gap between low-end and high-end than ever before, a year ago the gap was only in speed, now there is also a gap in the feature-set, between low and high-end.
game devs may have to choose between a large userbase and a technically advanced game, for the first time.
there are 2 ways a game dev can approach a feature:
1: make it an optional feature that doesn´t make a large impact on the game.
2: make it a core feature of the game engine, and asume it is present on the end-users computers, through the development of the whole game, this will have an impact on (for example) level design and artwork, choice of AI, etc. and the end users can´t just disable it, because it is an important part of the game.
This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.
