The scoop on MX video cards?
« Reply #30 on: July 23, 2002, 01:06:02 PM »
NV20 = Gf3Ti
NV25 = Gf4Ti

And now:
As you can see GF4Ti4200 (130-140$ in http://www.pricewatch.com) can be overclocked to give stock GF4Ti4600 a pretty good fight. Just be sure if you're gonna buy GF4Ti4200 card it's having fast mem-chips like MSI I'm using (3,6ns Hynix memory). Card runs stable at 300MHz core/600MHz memory when Ti4600 usually has 300MHz core and 650MHz mem-chips.
Last days I've been playing MB-Truck Racing, Rallye Trophy and Il-2 with full details , 1600x1200 resolution and 32bit colors with AMD 1,4GHz Thunderbird and I haven't seen any framerate drops yet...

You just CAN'T go wrong with MSI GF4Ti4200 card (No; I don't have their stocks ;) )

btw 64mb versions are cheaper and faster than 128mb versions.

Depends on the game really, since the game has to be programmed to take advantage of the additional 64megs.  Most games that are coming out now do take advantage of video cards with more than 64 megs.  AH isn't one of these games so you'll probably see the same performance between a 64meg card and a 128 meg card.
