Dudes this blows!

THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.

"Thank you for placing your Pre-Order with eVGA.com. We will be shipping
out your card on March 26th. We will be upgrading all standard Ground
based orders to Three Day Select so that everyone has a chance to get
their card by the end of the month. Orders placed with Second Day Air or
Next Day Air will still ship in their respective formats.

We have to tell you that we were forced to lower the core clock of the
e-GeForce4 Ti 4600 to 300 MHz. We know that some of you will be upset by
this, but we needed to tell you the facts before we shipped the cards.

However, in conjunction with our ACS2 cooling system, we were able to
engineer a card that, in a closed system, was able to operate stably with
a memory speed in excess of 660 MHz.

Because of this, we will be shipping a special limited edition version of
the e-GeForce4 Ti 4600 to all Pre-Order customers. This limited edition
card will have its memory speed set to 700 MHz.

eVGA.com will fully support these limited edition high performance
versions of the e-GeForce4 Ti 4600.

We understand that some people will be disappointed with this development,
and because of that, we are asking that you visit us at:



Well at least it isn't a total loss the memory is set past Nvidia default.

No VIVO on these cards, either! However, the cooling system on the card is quite impressive, and the RAM speed being defaulted more toward its rated speed of 714mhz is a nice bonus :). Still, no VIVO = annoying... The memory speed matters more than the core speed for performance, though.

i dont really see the big problem...whats the difference wbetween you overclocking it yourself and them ocing it for you?

Yeah you're right. But I was hoping that they would have to hand pick the GPU chips for thier above spec clockspeed which could mean a higher than normal OC.

Alas, it is but a oc'ers pipe dream that slowly fades away as the beams of reality shine on the COLD HARD FACTS!:confused:

Nvidia has yield problems on the core speed, this is why you wont see 330MHz cores and the 275MHz cores go for $100 less than the 300MHz due to the fact they get many times more 275MHz's

you guys are lucky cause in australia we dont even have geforce 4ti 4600's yet. we only have the mx440's.
