Asus V8420 Deluxe Review

[*]Does the PCB use a 8 layer or 6 layer design?
[*]You forgot to mention that it is the only ti4200 to utilize the longer ti4400/4600 pcb

Nice job Nucleus, and as always you get to test high end goodies before most of us in the states.

Any idea when the US will get it's hands on this card?

Umm newegg doesn't have the Deluxe Version. If you look at the pictures, they show a regular version. ( Copper looking PCB and the box is regular )

I have only found this site That looks like A Deluxe version..

erm ive got this site with the deluxe version
Link
but im not sure if its any good cause its a UK website..i think! yes the UK scores over the america's (??!!)

I hope the U.S. prices aren't as high as those in the UK... that price translates to about $288 US!! Might as well get an eVGA or MSI 4400 card for ~$200-210. Just as fast and a lot cheaper. It would have to be about $190-$200 to be interesting and even then only mildly...

you're tellin me!

XBoxLPU, it looks like you might have hit the jackpot. I will give those guys a call tomorrow.

Let us know what they say. Their description is for the Deluxe, but the name they list is the -TD which is one step down.

So?

 

[John]

Heck I forgot to call them.

Now ain't you glad you have AT .... your life would be nothing!

 

[John]

I sent them an email inquiring about the card.

Great performance but in the UK I`ve seen some GF4 Ti4400 cards from well known brands cheaper then the Asus GF4 Ti4200 v8420 Deluxe UK price.

 

[kgraeme]

I called Upgrade Source. It's the -TD, not the Deluxe. Ah well.


Edit: BTW when I called and said I had a question about a product picture/description not matching the name, he knew what product I was talking about without my telling him. Sounds like they are getting calls about it.

 

[John]

kgraeme, I got a reply this morning.

Sir,

It is the TD version.
