I need to identify a geforce 4 Ti 4200 8x videocard in order to get the correct bios. When i got the card it would turn the video on but the screen was still blank so i figure someone tried to flash the bios and messed it up. I've since flashed it with one random 8x bios and now it does have a display but it's doing the pinstripe thing. I need to know the make and model. On the chip it says Nvidia Geforce4 Ti-8x
4200

There is one sticker on the vga output that has the following.

Geforce 4 Ti4200-8x D128m
AGX20-B128DP-D64SB
FRAC2121-1 V4.28.20.16.00
F300 HY5DV281622DT-4

There is a s/n C 0302006594

That's it. Can anyone help with this?

A pic would be more helpful than anything. Some manufacturers have very distinctive designs.

Only difference is the ram on mine is using Hynix. Only problem with this is it doesn't look like chaintech offers bios.

Manufacturers often change memory brands depending on availablility or cost.
So your card can very well be a chaintech. But I do believe you will need a specific bios for specific memory brands/speeds. It's all about the timings the bios sets for the memory.
