If the poll is causing that much trouble you could always ask the simple question "what brand of video card do you own for your Freespace running machine" then record the results, making sure that it's just the answers and not discussion so you don't get to confused.

You wanna do this? :wtf:

No, I didn't think so.

Actually, a quick solve would be to use those non-existant admin powers of yours (;) ) to increase the cap on poll options to 15 or so... :D

Please? :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

How much does that cost?

How about we lock this thread and start a new poll that is more representative of peoples gfx card.

Reduce GF to

GF3 & 4
GF1 & 2
GF MX card

We could really do with knowing what those 20 'others' are.

First of all, it seems noone bought a GeForce1 (Good decision :) ), so it's unrequired. Secondly, the GeForce 4 MX line is basically a souped-up GeForce2, and therefore deserves to be with it.
And yes, there IS a Voodoo 4, and it has only 1 VSA-100 chip, making it a Voodoo 3 with 32bit colors.

My list would be so:

GeForce 3 / GeForce 4 Ti 4200/4400/4600
GeForce SDR/DDR / Geforce 2 MX/GTS/Pro/Ultra / GeForce4 MX
Riva TNT / Riva TNT 2
Matrox G400/G450/G550 (There was a 550, right? )
Voodoo 2
Voodoo 3 - 5
ATi Radeon / Radeon 7500
ATi Radeon 8500/8500LE/8500+/9000/9000Pro
9 - Open to Suggestions
10 - Here too

Don't forget GF2Ti...
 
But maybe GF2MX shouldn't be in the same option as GF2GTS/PRO/TI/ULTRA as those all are much faster.
 
And then probably add option 9, being only the Radeon 9700... it's different from all others, supporting DX9.0 and being much faster than others. Though I guess nobody has it yet. :p

Erm, it's not yet on the market, and you only buy a graphics card when it's fresh in the market only if you have too much money :)

It is, some people already have it. :p It's not here at Finland but at USA and Canada I think it is, and maybe somewhere else.
 
But yeah, the price... :sigh::doubt::blah:
 
Edit: Wait, lots of people have brought the GF4Ti4600 too (just when it was found in shops). It was even more expensive at the launch than the Radeon 9700 is now. :)

My normal computer has a normal Geforce3 running at 25% overclock, but I will probably be upgrading that by the end of the year.

I've got a Voodoo5 5500. Great card for FS2, great 4xFSAA :cool: .

For the record: there are no Voodoo 6 or 7, the last 3dfx card was Voodoo5 6000, it had 8xFSAA :cool:, there's not many 6000 around though.

GF4 Ti4400

hmm...poll results put the GF4 and GF2 MX at nearly equal...we've got either top-of-the-line l33tness or mid-grade stuff...

Actually, how many of you MXers have the 200 and 400 (or for you GF4 peeps, 420 and 440) models?
