The Radeon 9000 Pro gives an average of 73.4 fps while the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 gives 78.8 fps. XBench benchmarks.Īs for games, the Ti 4600 outperforms the Radeon 9000 Pro in Quake 3 Arena on Mac OS 9. As expected, this card is much faster than a flashed Radeon 9000 Pro I had in the system. ![]() I kind of wish someone would make some generic ones so it won’t be too expensive to have dual monitor support.Īside from that, while I benchmarked the flashed Ti 4600 before restoring the PC ROM and sending it back to the seller, the results are pretty much the same between the PC and Mac versions of the card. There are third party adapters that allow you to connect a second DVI monitor to the ADC port, but they are rare and pricy. Otherwise, it looks like any reference Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4600, except the ADC port replaces the VGA port. This will hold true with future high-end cards, even in the original Mac Pro. The Mac version has extra PCB so it can slot into the extended expansion slot holder. When I took the card out of the package, it looks massive. ![]() Another view Another view of the card installed. As expected, since this is a powerful card back in the day, it has to be this big. It’s designed for the PowerMac G4 Quicksilver and Mirror Door models, although it will work on all models except PCI Graphics. Eventually, Apple offered the GeForce Ti 4600 as a build to order option and eventually, as a separate upgrade kit in June 2002. ![]() The card features 128 MB of video memory and it had proper dual monitor support. It bested ATi’s Radeon 8500, which was their flagship card at the time, which only beat the fastest GeForce 3 Ti 200 card. The GeForce 4 Ti 4600 back in 2002 is a beast of a card. With that, it’s time to share my first impressions of the card and some benchmarks. I want to give a special thanks to the owner of Mac OS 9 Lives, DieHard for selling me his spare Ti 4600 and making this second part possible. However, I am not letting the second try go in vain. Okapi Rainbow is free, multi-platform, open source and still being developed.The first attempt to get the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 was a flop. It is worth spending a bit of time to explore the different features and single out the ones that can help you. Since images can speak more than words, just see for yourself, these are the options available for just one tab of the QA module:Ĭurrently, Okapi Rainbow can also perform mass search/replace tasks for different file formats, create translation kits, compare translations, pre-translate files, etc. Some of its options are still experimental, which is why I still rely on XBench, but it looks very promising. Speaking of which, Rainbow also offers a QA module. I previously mentioned the software accepts various input formats, it can also output them as. Simple, fast, efficient.īut the term extraction feature is just a small part of the software. You can very easily copy or open it in Excel and organize data from there. The output format is a plain tab-delimited text file. If you use a good list of stop words – you can find them easily for any language with a search engine -, you will be able to quickly build glossaries for your large or collaborative projects. xls, etc.) and offers all the basic features you would expect from such a tool: min/max number of occurrences, stop words and so on. The great thing about Okapi Rainbow’s term extraction feature is that it does accept various input formats (.xliff. In general, you would either need to pay a rather expensive price or use online tools with limited features. The software offers a lot of features, but I first found about it when I was looking for a good and free term extractor. Better still, it works on PC, Mac and Linux out of the box, so no body is left out for once. Just download, extract and run it – no installation required. Fortunately, this one offers a proper graphical user interface. Rainbow is part of a large framework, mostly composed of command-line tools. Today, from the very same people, let me introduce Okapi Rainbow. I already wrote about how Okapi Olifant was a fantastic TMX editor. ![]()
