Upon purchasing an new GFX card, i am presented with many choices. I have decieded on a Gf4 Ti 4200.
I am just wanting some opinions on what to get, either 64mb or 3.5, on a higher brand card like gainward or a good card liek chaintech but 128mb of 4.0 ns.
Id assume that the gaiward alone will overclock better, jsut due to quality and also haveing 3.5 ns ram i am almost 100% sure ill get a better overclock. But also i just wonder if they benefit of an extra 64mb or memory will help out?
I am looking at 3 cards right now, post what youd take
Gainward CardExpert GF4 ti 4200 3.5ns RAM, 64mb DDR 250/444 speeds - $169
Chaintech GF 4 "GT20" 4.0ns RAM, 128mb DDR 250/444 speeds - $172
Gainward CardExpert GF4 Ti 4200-PWR PK Golden Sample 4.0ns RAM, 128mb DDR 250/444 speeds - $199
I kinda like the last one, its got decently fast 4.0ns RAM & 128 mb of it, also even though it is .5 slower RAM (not 3.5ns) it is a Pwr Pk Golden Sample so id assume the overclock and the extra 64mb or RAM will make up for what ever i loose in RAM ns timings?
I can get that $199 card for about $125 IMO once i sell my Rocking GF2, but i just need some final words before i purchase a card.
