A Gainward. My kingdom for a Gainward

[PR.]

Has this even been released in the UK yet?

I've been looking for it, for weeks and while Watford have it listed and I have preordered it they just keep pushing back the date for its availability.

I've found the Asus one and the Creative one. I'm in real need of a new card my current is broken and the GF2 I was using is now in my parents machine so I'm grounded to meh GF2go.

I'm not bothered about overclocking, I'm really after good 2D as well as 3D not two bothered about TFT outputs but it will definitely need to monitor sockets.

Sooo, anyone seen the Gainward GF4 4600 available anywhere?

Or any alternative to this board, I read here(iirc) that the Asus wasn't the best to go for.

Thanks in advance...

Why don't you email Gainward?

I got fed up waiting so got the creative g4600 and its really good, no need to overclock it at the moment as its so fast compared to everything else on the market plus it actually fits on your motherboard unlike some other gf4's.

Leadtek has the best 2d.

So how good is this Creative one?

Has it good 2d ? I'll be running high resolutions so I would like my Sony trinitron monitor tested with a nice sharp card

Anyone seen reviews for the Creative one I searched google but didn't turn up anything, is it a UK only card?

Thanks

IMHO the creative one is very good, but then Im upgrading from a GF256

There is review of it here

In the review he said its noisy, but they must have fixed that as it seems fine to me.

Well its too bloody late now!

Though I do have that 14days grace period.

Not that it really matters, by the time I replace my CRT screens for TFT I will be running a GF5/6/7? and only then if TFT's get better and cheaper

So what were these links and how much are they?

/edit Bah you got til Monday night to tell me so that I can send it back via Distance Selling Act, after that time I comes and steal yours!!!
