Hi,
I would like some help, I'm trying to decide which geforce 4 ti4200 to get. If you had $200 to spend on a geforece 4 ti4200, which one would you get? I'm looking for a descent/good overclocker. I was thinking the golden sample 4ns version from Gainward (128MB). I know 4ns isn't too great but I heard it's a good card overall.
I'll be running the selected GF4 on a Abit KX7 mobo, with (1) XMS PC3200 512MB, and a XP 1600.... thanks!

...and there are lots more - personally I´ve heard the ASUS, the Gainward and the Abit Siluro are great overclockers in the Ti4200 range!

I use the Gainward GoldenSample and that thing OCs to 325/551. I love it more than anything (other than my dog)...and family...and friends...etc...

Anyway, it's highly recomended because the OCing is warrantied.

Hey Sunday,

I got a Gainward Ultra/650 XP 128MB "Golden Sample" card also and have gotten mine to 270/550. If I up it past 550, I get artifacts. Should I up the core higher or leave it as is???

Gainward 650/XP, just installed... 265 core and 570 memory seems stable sofar. 270 core crashes and 580 memory gives artifacts - propably getting some better cooling for it soon, I don't like having no ramsinks and a HSF that looks like plastic with aluminum foil fins

There's a good article that has a table of tested 4200's and the overclock speeds they got w/ them.
