Aeolus TI 4200 Any Good?

[Dracknem]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the AOPEN card, the Aeolus TI 4200 128 mb. I am thinking about buying it, it is on sale for $135 and I heard it has good quality.

I have two questions for anyone with experience with it. Does it give good results with all versions of DirectX? Also, how easily is it overclocked? I heard it could easily be clocked to 4400 or 4600, but I am looking for truth in these rumors.

actually, I have heard that AOPEN makes pretty low quality products....

Weird, because I've only heard good things about this. Hrmm, anyone else heard about it? If you could recommend a good card for under $140 it would be a big help, I'm building a new comp and wanna get the most bang for my (rather limited) buck.

aeolus was the god of the wind in greek and roman mythology. he put the unfriendly winds in a bag and gave it to ulysses. </latin lesson>

Bah, need a video card lesson, not a latin lesson.

I heard some ppl say that it's a bad ocer...

 

[Dracknem]

Any other ideas?

So, umm anyone else have any ideas for a good video card for under $140?

Under $140, you are going to have to get 64 MB Ti4200s (at least online with newegg). The MSI 64mb Ti4200 is $131, and its a good overclocker. I suggest you go with that.

Just saw the Ablatron Ti4200 128mb is for $141, if you are interested in spending a dollar more. Some people like to bang their bucks pretty hard, but still... They are also good overclockers, and they produce one of the best Ti4200s available, the Ti4200P TURBO, which is pretty much guarenteed to run at Ti4600 speeds and is cheaper than the ABit OTES.

I recommend the Abit Gf4 Ti4200 64mb. It has the highest average overclock and the best available service and support
