Gainward? Would you recommend?

The Leadtek Ti-4600 died.

Would you recommend the Gainward Ultra/750-8X XP, Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4800 SE, 8X AGP, Golden Sample for:

Asus P4B533-V
512 DDR 2700
P4-2.4B CPU
WD Hard Drive
etc.

Any conflicts you know of? Any general feedback?

Thank you.

If you prefer nvidia over ATi then definitely go with gainward, leadtek, albatron, or asus. Gainward is extremely nice and most of their products and are quality stuff. The ti4800se might not perform as well as your older ti4600 though. Just a little warning.
 
Essentially, the ti4800SE is a 4400 with 8x AGP. But Gainward is great, especially the Golden Samples, which BY DEFAULT run at higher clock settings.
 
Thanks guys.

Seeing as tho my MB is only 4 x AGP, seems like going with the Ti-4600 chipset from gainward makes more sense.

You agree?

Thanks again.

8x is backward compatible with 4x anyways but yes if your board don't support 8x no point getting a 8x card there for a higher price and no performance gain.
 
That's not what I meant.... put price aside for a moment.

If the other card is really just a 4400 on an 8 x AGP and the card above is a real 4600 on a 4 x AGP; won't the 4600 on a 4x AGP board be faster than the higher priced card on a 4 X AGP board?

Which will be faster on my board?

Ti4600 is faster than Ti4400 in most if not all instances. Again especially the Gainward version which is obviously clocked higher not necessarily overclocked.
