NewEgg has the Leadtek Ti4200 128MB card for $169 free shipping. This is the cheapest I've seen for this model, but it still costs more than other 128MB cards (MSI, eVGA, Albatron, Chaintec, etc).

Is Leadtek worth the extra $10 to $20? (I hope it is because I've just ordered it :eek: )

Yes, well worth it... Leadtek makes quality cards with quality electronics. I would pay extra for a Leadtek or Gainward product. You made the right choice. Pat yourself on the back. :)

;) I have the Inno3D 4200-128MB TVout.

:D Manu makes VERY little diff for GF4TI cards, but as said a well-known manu and esp Gainward or Leadtek are worth paying a little more for if your budget allows.

I agree. Leadtek makes very great quality cards. Right up there with ASUS (very stable) and Gainward. MSI makes pretty good cards too.

Well-I cancelled my NewEgg order for the OEM Leadtek and am buying an ASUS Ti4200 from this guy in the FS/FT forum for $159 shipped. That's $10 less and I can live with a "pre-owned" card. Hope it'll fit into my new case:


Thanks for all the input . . .

I am very happy with my Leadtek 4200 128MB VIVO!!!

How high can I overclock it? Right now I have it at bout 10mhz over 4400 speeds. Whats a good range to pop it into, and then try to go a lil higher until it freaks out? Im too scared and lazy to find the final 10mhz frontier to where my clock will finally land in...


Great card though!

OK I just read a review of my exact same model on NeoSeeker, and they have a screenshot of them running the hardware monitor. What gives, I cant run that! Its grayed out, and wont let me enter!?

Is there some other driver on the cd I blew past or something?!
