geforce4 ti4600 question

**enhancedstudios** · 07-01-2002

i want to buy a geforce4 ti4600... however, i was looking around, and i see tons of different ones... ASUS, XTASY, eVGA, etc... What is the difference in all of these? Which is the best? I thought a geforce4 ti4600 was a geforce4 ti4600... I'm very confused now as to all these different types...

The main difference is the stuff that comes with the card like games, DVD playing software and so on. The different brands will also have different performance, but the gap is pretty dam small, and they will also overclock to different levels.
Some cards like the Triplex ones have cool coloured PCB's, which doesnt make to much of a difference.
If your wondering which brand is the best, id look at getting either a Leadtek, ASUS, Gainward or Triplex (cause they look cool), but most of the others are very good aswell.

does anybody know which of the cards would be a BAD one to get? I'll make sure to avoid those... As long as they are all almost the same... the xtasy one looks reasonable... it's around 300 dollars brand new

Uh, cant think of any **** ones off the top of my head, just look on the internet, and if you cant find any reviews, or find a very negative review, steer clear.

Just go with a known brand like:

MSI
Leadtek
Asus
Gigabyte
Hercules
