Asus Ti4200: Does anyone have this card?

[Ilmater]

I'm looking to purchase this video card from Newegg.com. It's a great price for a Ti4200 w/ 3.3ns BGA RAM and the 4600's 8-layer PCB. Does anyone have any experiences with this card? How satisfied are you? Have you overclocked it?

Any experiences with any Asus Ti4200's are appreciated.

i have the asus 4200 8x agp v9280td, looks just like the one you are looking at. great card, great bundle, able to o/c it to above 4400 levels stable.

Is that with the stock cooler on it or something else?

Anybody else? (bump)

don't have it, but looked at it for a while (not sure if that counts).

i'm planning to wait for the (i think) 5600, which, if nothing else, should push down the 4200 prices.

stock cooler, btw, i have 3.6ns ram. could i o/c the ram more if i had heatsinks on them?

Maybe a little, but I wouldn't count on too much. I would do it just so that the RAM doesn't get too hot. Sometimes you can get 5 - 15 MHz more out of the RAM, but not always.

Thats odd. Radeon 9700 (non-pro) got Hynix 3.6 ram too. But you can get +25mhzx2 without cooling just like that. With cooling results should be even better.

what is holding my o/c back? it gets unstable past this point 262/567. my memory type has already been stated. i started at 4600 and worked my way back using both the core and memory slider. what can the nv28 hit on the 4200 and still be stable? or is the memory casuing it problems?

Well, your RAM is only rated for 555MHz DDR, so it's no wonder it can't go past 567. The NV28 CAN hit 310MHz or even 320MHz, but it's an overclock regardless, and as such it's luck of the draw. I would think that you should be able to get a little more out of a better core cooler, but memory cooling rarely gets more than 5 - 15 MHz more. I've seen people that only get 260 out of their GF Ti4200's, while others get much more. Again, it's all luck of the draw.

BTW, when I went to a TT COrb on my GF3Ti200, I could go about 10 MHz farther than when I had my stock cooler on it, but I run it at stock settings because I don't think it's worth running faster.
