You can read more on GeForce4 in our reviews:

Wasn't overclocked.

On August 10, 2003 the latest drivers from NVIDIA are 45.23, 45.24 and 45.20 for Windows XP.

Test results are in the summary diagrams.

Pay attention to the article about anisotropic filtering section.

I shall mark that GeForce3/4 supports new types of antialiasing based on multisampling (MSAA) technology, including noteworthy Quincunx mode (read about it in our GeForce3). ). But it has a serious disadvantage of texture soaping. But we should have already used to trade-offs of modern accelerators. I recommend you to read the GeForce4 Ti article and learn about the new 4xS AA.
