nVidia Ti4400: still viable option?

[w0lf42]

I am interested in purchasing a Ti4400, being that it seems to be a good middle ground between the Ti4200 and Ti4600. However, when I check out the anandtech.com "Weekly Hardware Price Guide - CPUs & Video", I notice that they leave out the Ti4400. Can anyone think of a reason why?

I really want to have a dual head nVidia card that also has VIVO.

Thanks in Advance.

I don't know why they'd remove it, no.

I've noticed the 4400 not showing up as much lately also. With news today that the 4600 is no longer being produced I would imagine the 4400 also has/had the same fate.

IIRC ti4400's have been out of production for a month or so now, so whatever inventory is floating around on retailers shelves are all thats left. I was looking at ti4400's as well, but found a nice alternative in the "ti4300" cards (from links posted by AnAndAustin and others) aka the ti4200 turbos.

They use the same extended 6-layer PCB's that the ti4400 and ti4600's are printed on, and also have 3.3ns BGA RAM thats found on the ti4600. The only remaining difference between a ti4600 and ti4200 is the presense of voltage regulating capacitors and other board optimizations as well as a tweaked BIOS, but my ti4200 turbo sure has a lot of capacitors

The only one I found in regular supply was the Albatron ti4200 Turbo, which can be had for ~$185. I've taken it to 300/650 right off the bat....I'm sure I could get it higher as some have reached 320/700+, but I just haven't had the time to tweak or push it.

I dont know what you mean by "viable" but hell, I'm running a Leadtek G3 TI200 @233/533 and There isnt a game out that I cant play at enjoyable framerates (30+ fps)

On this card I play, UT2003k at 1024/768 details maxxed, Asherons Call 2, BF1942.... I mean what the hell are you going to run on this thing? I am an AVID gamer and I am not anywere near the point were I feel the push to upgrade... maybe after new years I'll have a compelling reason. but as of right now I think my system is more then "required"

I just bought an XfX 64MB Ti 4200 and OCed it to 300/600. I get 50+ fps average in UT2003 1024x768 all details maxed. When im just standing, i get over 100fps. This card owns!!
