Anyone running GeForce 4 Ti with K7S5A?

[howardthehobo]

Is there enough space to mount GeForce4 Ti on this motherboard? Because GeForce4 Ti is so HUGE and I am afraid that there is no enough space for it.
Any information would be very appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Howard

Not yet. But hopefully I will be within the week, so long as I can get my hands on a Leadtek Ti4600. Let me know if you find out problems first.

Sure, no problem.

Thank you for your time,

I'm using a Voodoo5 5500 AGP in mine at the moment, and it's a tight fit.
The end of the card is right on top of the IDE connectors, I had to apply a bit of the old ultra-violence to the IDE cables before I could seat the card properly.

Thank you for the information, CHHASmatroxuser
Actually, the capacitors on the GeForce 4 Ti are what I am worrying about, it looks like you won't be able to mount the video card on K7S5A properly because the capacitors on the GF4 are too big.......

Thank you for your time,

I am running a PNY ti 4400 and it is a tight fit, but goes on without any major problems. If you are using oddball IDE cables you may
have to get some that are flatter (connectors). I think the capacitor situation is only for epox 8kha users, and it is reported that
visiontek might even have changed their design so that it is not an issue.

I am using the cables that came with my k7s5a and had no problems, even though it is a tight fit.

Thanks, artemedes.

Yup, got a PNY Ti 4400 on my K7S5A mobo too. A little cramped, but it all fits and works great!

Hi, Boogak. Thanks for the information. I got a question for you, how is the 2d of PNY GF4 Ti 4400?

Thank you for your time,
Howard

I am not Boogak, but I'll reply anyway. I have two computers hooked to a kvm switch, my other is a matrox g450 which is supposed to have excellent 2d
and I had a Radeon LE in before this. I am very hard pressed to tell the difference in the 2d between any of them. I usually have my desktop
at 1152X whatever and all 3 looked great.

My monitor really doesn't do well above 1280 for 2d stuff, Even my matrox starts to look fuzzy there and above, so I really shouldn't comment on
really high resolutions.


I have been running all my games at either 1280X1024 and 1600X1200, something I would have never done with the radeon LE.

2d looks good to me on my 21" Trintron monitor at 1280x960@32bpp@85hz.
