my ti4600 has packed in!!! 8(
Hello
Came home from work yesterday to find my desktop was corrupt so i re boots the machine and i find i got all horizontal lines down the screen i try the graphics card in another machine and it has the same problem The card is a Gainward Geforce 4 ti4600 750/gxp golden sample which i have had clocked at 320/700 for over a year with no probs i don't think overclocking has caused this cause its got major cooling components like ram sinks etc... on it. Looks like now i got to go out and purchase a new graphics card so i thought i would seek some advice. What would be a good upgrade to a ti4600 with best price/performance ratio i don't have mega amounts of money to spend so like the high end cards are a no no i was thinking of the FX5700 ultra. Anyone give me some advice? TIA ----- Lee. |

Well overlocking will kill components eventually and the benefit of ram sinks is definately questionable and good marketing hype for those that manufacture them.

Anyone give me some advice? TIA Intrigued that you have posted to an ATI group .. will give you the benefit of doubt about not trolling. If you don't want to play DX9 games such as Far Cry, and all future games, by all means buy the Nvidia card you suggested. The Nvidia implementation on DX9 is flawed and wrong, I do not know about it's latest card which is still not on the shelves but certainly all of the current crop have their problems with DX9. If you want to play the latest games and are on a tight budget then look at the Radeon 9600XT. |

Try posting in "alt.comp.periphs.videocard.nvidia"
He did do at the same time as he posted in here. I suggested a 9800pro as the best value for money, against performance, card to get. -- Regards Morgan Hard Drive noise a problem....? www.flyinglizard.freeserve.co.uk |

He did crosspost in both NG. I just upgraded from a TI 4400 and went with
the Sapphire 9800 Pro. Nvidia 5900 XT is the next comparable card ... but the 9800 Pro is better than the 5900 and about the same price. Don't know if this is too much money for you but the 9800 Pro is a better way of going than the 5900XT. If too much money for you go with the 5700 or the 9600SE .. you don't mention if you are much of a game player or not. "Morgan" wrote in message ...

The 5700Ultra is the next real upgrade from a 4600, but not by much. For the same price, you can get the 5900xt ($180) - but at that point, you might as well spring for the $200 ATI9800Pro which smokes it (in most games, weak in OpenGL - but still speedy). I OWN a 9800Pro and 5900(plain) - guess which one is in my main game rig? == == == == == == == == == == == == == Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way.
