Which ti4200?

[CTho9305]

I searched newegg for cards with the Ti4200 chipset, and there are SO many of them. Is there anything specific I should be looking for? I'm not particularly interested in extras like TV-out.

All I can tell you is not to get a 64 MB version.

I liked my MSI Ti4200
excellent retail bundle, and the MSI 128MB version got rated one of the highest overclocks for a TI4200 card. they are also not expensive.
choice is clear...

 

[CTho9305]

They list multiple MSI cards. More details?

IIRC the model on my card was the 8851.. i'll check

here is the card I had... as you can see it's a VERY nice retail bundle..

I have a MSI G4 4200 128mb card, it runs great, I can overclock it to 594/300, compared to the normal 447/250 speeds, I just broke 13000 witht this card in 3dmark01. The bundle is great, NOLF, Sacrifice, and Aquanox are nice games, the DVD software is also decent. A good buy!

I get the impression that AGP 8X has minimal benefits... is that correct?

I'll add another "w00t" for the MSI Ti4200. Awesome bundle, a new TV-out chip so you don't have to stay with the 40.72s, and mad overclock potential.

Minimal? I don't like the word minimal. How about none? Yeah, I like that better.

You should get the Albatron TI4200 Turbo. It uses the 8 layer PCB, BGA memory, and has surperb cooling.

Here's a review

that is correct.
i have the 4x version of this card, and if i had to spend $1 more for 8x, i wouldn't.
you also need an agp8x mobo too.. so its kinda useless.

The Albatron is good..the primary video cards I use in systems are Asus, Albatron and MSI... they are all fantastic.

oh well, this card wouldn't run Doom3 worth crap really anyhow.. heh

AGP 8X as a WHOLE maybe when Doom3 comes out, but for this card, doesn't matter I am sure.
I ran the demo on my TI4200 and it was like 4 fps.

Bump for another fan of the MSI Ti4200 card. Overclocks VERY nicely too

My friend just got an MSI 4200 and it runs really nice. It also comes with an overclocker slider so its super easy to overclock.
