WOW! Am I lucky or not?

[benganpuss]

I went and bought a geforce4 ti4200 64 md ddr box with 2/4x agp. and somehow (by luck or whatever) got a geforce 4 ti4200 128 mb with 8x agp! Is this good or bad. I mean I'm almost 100% sure its good. Just makin sure I got the right card for me. As in I've read that the 64 had performed better than others and such. Just wondering.....
Thanks,

If you feel you were unlucky, I'll gladly take that Ti from you and give you my old MaxiGamer Voodoo in exchange ;-)

1. you lucky mofo
2. o/c the memory to compensate with coolbits, but i think the 8x 128mb have decent memory, somebrands at least
3. you lucky mofo

The 64MB version initially performed better because it was tested on games not using more than ~60MB of textures, so the added memory was not used, and the RAM was clocked higher.

EDIT: dude its just another GF4 4200 version. its not like they sent him a 256MB FX5900 Ultra

lucky mofo.

haha, im the opposite. My Voodoo 6000 got fried. We have some smart people here who figure out which circuitry is fried, but now wheredo i get those capacitors from?

some taiwanese factory, I suppose

BTW post several pics of it with like "AT member" sign to prove you really have it

i've read in bensbargain before that some of the PNY Geforce4 Ti4200 64MB DDR box contains actually the 128MB AGP 8X version and there were plenty of ppl to confirm it. I don't know if it's a manufacturer mistake or some sort of marketing stunt... anyway, it's good to have 128MB when you were expecting just 64

 

[Corporate Thug]

it happens with the 64mb, and yes your luckey

 

[JammingJay]

You're lucky. Even when initial 64mb versions of the Geforce 4 Ti4200 were slightly faster, it was VERY misleading. Generally the 64mb version was only benchmarked to be around 2% faster than a 128mb version. With that said, newer 128mb versions are clocked at, or possibly even faster than older 64mb versions. I assume you probably purchased a PNY eh? Hehe, happened quite often with them getting different versions a couple months back...

actually the 64MB version intially performed better because it was initially clocked higher until the AGP 8X version of the 128MB came out, and was clocked equally to a 64MB version.
64MB version had 500MHz ram
128MB version had 444MHz ram

According to powerstrip, my 64 meg PNY Ti4200 was clocked @ 512MHz.
