Need a new video card

[TheFrag]

Well, I had to RMA a card I bought for 103 dollars cuz it wasnt the rigt one and it turns out they are sold out of the one I wanted. Now i need a new one. It has to be frow www.isquaredinc.com . basically i am gonan pay more for a ti4200. I was thining about getting this one: http://www.isquaredinc.com/store/ALBTI4200Pinfo.html
. Whatta ya think? O ya, i just got a light that goes on my head in the mail. Sure it is not relevant, but cool

 

[TheFrag]

anyone have any experience with this card? Plz?

I have the turbo version of that card, and while mine hasn't overclocked as high as other people, it still performs well in games and has yielded me *almost* 13k 3D mark points at 305/655. I have *heard* that the non turbo version kinda sux. Do a search on "albatron" to read more...

Hope u didn't buy it yet!
go to www.pricewatch.com and search for the Abit 4200 OTES
it will pop up as 154$ US
the only card that can beat the albatron
and just looks sooooo sweet
Look up some reviews on it if u don't beleive me
later...

 

[TheFrag]

o sweet. Does that OTES come in 128mb?

:edit: Will the 64mb on that OTES card cause it not be able to play doom3 and the upcoming games?

 

[Lord Moreira]

hear me out ..
beleive me when i say the 64meg 4200 is better then the 128meg
i spent this entire past week in review websites
trust me i think i know the color of every chip on the cards by heart
i like to take my researches serious
64meg all the way
Better scores then the 128 and faster mem on it with higher overclocking capabilities.
enjoy it...
i certainly will
peace!

 

[TheFrag]

ya, but the 128 mb will be able to handle more grapics. SHouldn't matter tho, Ill be upgrading to more sytem ram soon.

 

[ReDeeMeR]

hehe, well yeah if you want to have AA AF + high res textures better go with 128mb.

That's the card I have. I say shell out the extra money and go for the TURBO version. My memory is 4ns Samsung that freezes at 550 (no ramsinks). Have any more questions just ask me.

[TheFrag]

i think imma go with the OTES

 

[cullam3n]

i think imma go with the OTES

I would go with the Turbo. Not only is it cheaper in most places, but it's pretty damn well guarenteed to do Ti4600+ speeds.

[TheFrag]

no, its about 30 dollaz more at most places........

 

[cullam3n]

Oh you are right my bad... I was somehow thinking there was a 128mb version that was more expensive than the Turbo. I better lay off this white stuff...

[Lord Moreira]

No doubt about the OTES beeing the king of 4200 right now.
And it just looks so damn good
U made the right decision!
But if the Alba Turbo was the same price it would make it harder to choose between them.
cheers

 

[TheFrag]

ya, imam go with the OTES. http://www.isquaredinc.com/store/ABTTI4200OTESinfo.html I am getting it from there cuz i am RMA a card and i wana just get one from there.

 

[Lord Moreira]

160$ is cool
but u don't need to feel obligated to get a new card from that store
If u wanna save like 10 bucks find it on pricewatch
last search i did was 154 shipping included

 

[TheFrag]

ya but i'd prolly get it from newegg. To much bad memories from half-*** stores.........

 

[Lord Moreira]

there is nottin like calling them and ordering it on the phone making sure they have them in stock and what not.
plus they always process phone orders first
thats what i do
