GeForce 4 ti4200, which overclocks better 64MB vs 128MB

I'm wondering which you could push further

Usually it's the 64Meg versions that overclock better because I think in the 128Meg reference design they use 4ns (500MHz) memory and by default it runs at 444MHz. The 64Meg usually comes with 3.6ns (550MHz) memory and by default runs at 500MHz. Though some models from certain manufacturers don't adhere to the reference designs but it makes them more expensive into the Ti4400 territory which has a reference design that uses slightly better BGA type memory. The cores are a tossup for overclocking so it's mainly the memory to look at.

agreed

The 64MB versions may overclock better but you'll need a 128MB GeForce4-Ti4200 to future-proof yourself for upcoming games like Unreal II and Doom III which uses 80MB textures at times. A 64MB card just won't cut it for Doom III.

I agree, get the 128 version, look at my specs and my benchmark scores

There are even some 4200 cards with 128MB of memory that come with 3.3ns RAM such as the Albatron Turbo model. That is the card I wish I had waited for.

LINKAGE 😛😎

BTW, I have my VisionTek 128MB GF4 Ti 4200 running at 275/500 right now. That is my new baseline core/mem speeds. If I need more speed I just reflash the card to some higher settings that I have already tested out SAT. I for one am happy to have 128MB of memory on my card.

the MSI ti4200's overclock like a beast

Unreal2k3 uses 80 megs of textures for the game, unless your using a resolution of 640x480 16-bit. Gainward has their 128MB Ti4200 cards with 3.2ns Ram.

No matter how much you overclock the 64 MB card the 128 MB card will serve you far better. Most games made in the last year (RTCW, JK2, MOHAA, SOF2, UT2003 etc) eat 64 MB cards alive.
