Difference between Ti 4200 AGP 8x and Ti 4200

[fakesushibunny]

i saw this chart on asus's website about Ti4200 with AGP 8X and Ti4200 regular. The specifications are all completely the same. what difference does that AGP 8X make

 

[Gravija]

i thought some of the 8x AGP 4200's were clocked above the rest, other than that, i don't think there's much difference

 

[onza]

benchmark wise, very very little.

thats about it.. but some 8x verion 4200's have some fast memory on them

 

[yhelothar]

yes the AGP8x 128MB versions are clocked as high as the 64MB versions of Ti4200

Always look @ your Price performance ratio...IMO...

64MB AGP4x 4200 250/500
128MB AGP4x 4200 250/444
128MB AGP8x 4200 250/512

Those are the standard speeds; I don't think that manufacturers absolutely have to stick to that. Some will use slower RAM as a way of cutting costs.
However, for the record, the eVGA Geforce 4 Ti4200 128MB I bought was clocked at the standard 250/444. I did however get the RAM up to 567 (effective speed).

I picked one of these up from best buy. Not bad, but im tryin to find some people who overclocked it so i can get a average on oc'ing it.
It's PNY Model.

Yeah. Got the same PNY from BestBuy awhile back when they had that big rebate sale. Does this card seem to run a bit on hot side to you, even without overclocking. I had a Vistiontek ti4600 last year and I don't remember it running as hot.

Asus V8420S 128MB AGP4X 262/552 out of the box.

The 8X uses a differnt MFG process than the original GF4. Smaller Die sive I think. Also they have faster ram in general.

I dunno about that, I'm pretty sure they're all .15 micron cores. I think they just did some soft modification to them to support 8X AGP as a marketing ploy.
And again I say...

Asus V8420S 128MB AGP4X 262/552 out of the box.

Yea I was reading about the NV25 core design and it said that as of last october or so there was a new revision that supported 8x, called NV28. Its basicly the same thing--both have .15 micron (my bad)--with a few extra features. Links below give the deails for theose who missed this minor change.

Yup, I have the same card. Powerstrip checks it @ 250/512. I've been running 300/600 without additional cooling. What a bargain!

How much was it? Was/is it on sale?
