Super-Bob 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Today I saw this. I had never heard of a 4800, so I check nVidia's website, no mention of it there either. Has anyone heard of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snakebite1967 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 (edited) Specifications Performance GeForce4 Ti 4600 GeForce4 Ti 4400 GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP 8X GeForce4 Ti 4200 Fill Rate (Texels/sec) 4.8 Billion 4.4 Billion 4.0 Billion 4.0 Billion Triangles/sec 136 Million 125 Million 113 Million 113 Million memory bandwidth 10.4GB/sec 8.8GB/sec 8GB/sec up to 8GB/sec AGP 4X 4X 8X 4X from what ive read on a few tech sites there is a whole new batch of tuned gf4 cards coming out before the FX release , 4200 chips on 4600 boards with 8x agp plus msi has its own versions of golden sample or turbo boards IE 4800 all it means is they pre tune it for you gainward and a few other companies already sell tuned cards and it does get confusing for instance gainward sells a gf3 ti 500 golden sample that is actualy a ti200 on steroids, tho from what ive seen the price is usualy a lot higher than a standard card and they are a lot more touchy to o/c and recently gainward has had a lot of issues with its gf4ti4200 golden sample cards with bad capaciters the msi gf4 4800 is a 4200 tuned to 4600 levels with 8xagp and the 4800 se is a 4400 tuned the same, atleast thats what it says ona few forums not too much info on these new cards yet Edited January 14, 2003 by snakebite1967 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Ranger 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hmmm...Never seen that one before. I checked out Nvidia.com and tried a search on "4800" and came up with nothing but a computer system called the "4800 Pro", so me thinks that it it a "tweaked" card, but does MSI or have the rights to call it a 4800, I mean you could probably just by a 4600 a OC it yourself and get the same results. It's just a rip off for people who don't know anything about FX cards. OR, a search on Google brought these results: Exhibit A Exhibit B Hmmmm........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snakebite1967 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 (edited) theres also a few other highbryds out there ti 4260 and other fancy numbers most are 4300 cards in various forms of tune and colourfull colours, the only one that realy seems to be a decent card is the albatron 4200p turbo [url=http://www.guru3d.com/review/albatron/ti4200p-turbo/] its a 4200 chip on a 4600 board with some tweaks and a great copper cooler Edited January 14, 2003 by snakebite1967 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
