Would I be a moron to buy this right now?!?!?

A MSI G4Ti4800SE-VTD for $189??

TI4800SE

umm the games in that clollection is alone worth over $100
$89 for a refresh of GF4 4200... not bad.. pretty cool

Radeon 8xxx, 9000-9200 has nothing on that card on performance wise.. (including quality)
The only card that's equal or better is a 9500 and above... but you barely get anything compared to what MSI ships with the card

Good deal to me.

So, it is definitely the 4200 with 8x AGP and nice software?

 

[Budmantom]

It's not a 4400?

It runs at Ti4400 speeds, thats all that matters. nVidia discontinued the Ti4400 and afterwards, all new 8-layer PCB, BGA RAM cards that filled the Ti4400 niche (between the Ti4200 and Ti4600) were designated as Ti4200 "Turbos". So if you called the Ti4800SE an 8X Ti4400 or 8X Ti4200 Turbo, you'd be correct.

I wouldn't go as far as to call you a moron for buying that card, but unless you really wanted the bundled games, the money would be better spent on a 9500pro/9700 non-pro in that price range, or on one of the Ti4200's (that OC well also) for 1/2 the price.

To answer the question about being a moron if you bought it right now. All I can say is you'd be a moron either way
