It helped me decide which one to get just a couple of days ago. http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic...714/index.html --Keith |

It also really depends on the current system you have. If your CPU and mb
and RAM and powersupply etc etc etc are a few years old - getting the latest cards may not be so good. I choose a Asus Geforce4Ti 4800 because it wasn't that expensive - UK90 quid. Its proven technology - all the bugs have been ironed out already and the games that will take advantage of the FX series won't be out until a few years or so - well there's Half-Life2 lol - when I would upgrade the whole system anyhow. |

Where did you find a Ti4800 for £90...? Was is a Ti4800SE? |

Its a Geforce4Ti 4800SE ASUS V9480/TVD
I bought it in Australia for A$280 (includes GST tax). I'm not too sure what the exact conversion rate is at the moment. I've seen other stores sell them for $40 less but it might not include the GST price. (On a side issue - the fan makes a bit of noise at boot-up but quiets down after a minute or so. I'm suppose to return it back to the shop but the buggers say they won't exchange it - only sent it back to ASUS. But its still under warrenty for one full year so I might as well see how it goes for another six months. If it continues I'd return it) |

i have a ti4800 and like it for the speed, but if you are buying now, look
towards the fx line so that you won't be upgrading again soon. the fx line supports direct x 9, and the ti4800 and lower don't. also try to avoid pny as your manufacturer, i have had nothing but trouble with them, i bought because of the lifetime warranty, didn't think i would have to take them up on it 3 times now in a 1 1/2 years. card runs great for about 3 - 4 months then start having problems with image tear, extra polygons, wierd red symbols on desktop and even in the dos screens, so just a helpful hint from me.

Dunno about that. $ for $, the best value at the moment is the Ti4200. If you get an MSI, their new TOPTech cooling is superb for overclocking it, if you want. The only decent FX cards are the 5600Ultras and above, and these are way too expensive for what you get, compared with ATI. also try to avoid pny as your manufacturer, i have had nothing but trouble with them, i bought because of the lifetime warranty, didn't think i would have to take them up on it 3 times now in a 1 1/2 years. card runs great for about 3 - 4 months then start having problems with image tear, extra polygons, wierd red symbols on desktop and even in the dos screens, so just a helpful hint from me.
