Is there a quick and easy reference on Gforce cards?

[gr8tango]

There's so much talk about which gforce card to buy at different model numbers and memory sizes that I'm confused as to which ones are good, good enough, or crap. Has anyone posted a matrix listing all the card models and cross indexed them by card manufacturer? I guess the same would be helpful for ATI cards to, since FIC is making Radeon cards now.

Anyone?

So... everyone knows the difference between MX440, MX420, MX420SE, Ti4200, Ti5800, and more? or if PNY is better than Asus or Gainward? Wow, so many smart people...

Yes we do. If you have specific questions u can PM me. GF4 MXs suck in my opinions....they're not even on par w/ GF3. Out of the 4s the best buy is a 4200. Look one that that is overclockable to 4600 speeds. They are the best value. The FX 5800 is recently availible and overpricesd.

thanks snik - that was exactly what I was looking for. I thought the forum would help me get some insight into the differences, but I found mostly religious boasting about the cards people like and less open comparisons.

I guess I should post separately to ask about card vendors on who makes the better cards.... PNY, Verto, Gainward, Asus, etc. From past experience, even if they all use the same reference design, they still don't work the same....

I've read that the Albatron Ti4200 Turbo card can usually overclock to Ti4600 speeds, or beyond. I think it uses fast BGA (ball-grid array) memory.
