is the 4800 SE ne good?

[PCFreek14]

is the 4800 SE better than the 4600 cause ive heard that it isnt and i juist wanted to make sure

[IR1]

no.. the 4800 SE is just a 4400 with 8x agp. AKA its a marketing gimick and they are just trying to sell off the excess cards by renaming them to higher numbers after adding a useless feature.

[AKULA]

If you get a 4800SE with 3.3ns BGA ram it'll likely clock the same as a ti4600. In your case keep the 4600 as it'll tide you over till the R420 and NV40 cards show up. HL2, doom3 and just about every other game being released over the next 6 - 12 months will run just fine on your 4600. Upgrade when it'll mean something. :)

There is nothing wrong with this card. Mine works very well.

[PCFreek14]

well im tring to get a card for my brother cause his sucks and mine if 4x and his MB does NOT support 8x so i fiqured id just take the 8x since it wouldnt help him ne way

[PCFreek14]

what are the R420 and NV40 cards?

[PCFreek14]

is there ne brand that sells the 4600 with 8x that is good and isnt 300.00?

[PCFreek14]

you know what screw it im gunna get him a 9500 np and risk getting the good one that you can overclock to a 9700. but if ne one knows of a good deal an a card that is better than a 4600 please! let me know

[Overclocker550]

i just bought my Ti4800 earlier this week, and im pretty pleased by its performance. it has 3.6ns infineon memory on it. i have mine at 320/640 right now, i can crank up the memory higher, but 325 seems to be the limit on the GPU. hopefully ill be getting better cooling soon...im sure i could get the GPU higher.

I got the Asus Ti4800se v9480/tvd for $235 canadian which was retail box with 3 games.

It came in at 275 core
and 550 mem


I must say this one over clocks well I have the core at 300
and the mem at $625 without a problem

[Overclocker550]

Sir Barton, if you do a v mod, can you teach me how to on my ti4200? the 3.3ns ram on her only does 590 but I wanna get the core up first

[Bleed]

what did u guys use to overclock your ti4800's? i have the MSI, I read somewhere here before that he overclock his by just using windows, by that i mean, if u right click, u can see the MSI CLOCK TAB. then u just use the sliders to increase Core clock and Memory clock. it actually works, but when i reboot, it goes back to its default setting. any help would be much appreciated :)

i found the site that shows you how to Vmod the gF4 Ti on a google search, forgot to save it in my fav's :( ill find it again, when i do ill link you up to it. its not too hard, basically removing a resistor and adding in a potentiometer.
