Sounds nice, altho,. if its over £100 its too much

 

[Embattle]

It'll be £300+

If I was ever going to buy a Nvidia card, Leadtek would be my only choice, thanks to that lovely 2D.

Gainworld i heard make good Cards, but i as of yet havent had a read up on any, mainly coz i dont have the time and quite franky .. dunno what im lookin for

 

[Wij]

Leadtek are the ones that will fend off Bodhi

 

[Embattle]

I prefer Gainward.

 

[Will]

Fancy sharing your reasoning? I may be in the market for a new card soon, any input would be appreciated.

 

[S-Gray]

Hmm, its possible you know this site, but i may as well say

Toms Hardware

He always test' all the Hardware, and says whether its shit or somethin

The latest Leadteks feature much cripsper visuals than most nVidia based cards.

 

[Testin da Cable]

But they're still shit compared to ATi or Matrox.

 

[Testin da Cable]

matrox ruled
never had an ati at home so I can't really comment.
there's one in the box I have at work, but that's combined with a large tft. I guess that slightly makes a difference

um, actually the reviews i read for their Ti500 said they were just as good

 

[Embattle]

Matrox still own 2D....although 2D is a non moving market.

 

[Wij]

Not really true.Try runnig a Matrox card at a really high res and refresh rate and it can start to have problems. Especially with dual monitors. Or so I heard

Technation article on gf4

It says it needs agp x8, yet all the 4600 cards I have seen say agp x4.

the nomad returns

lo guys... I'm not dead or anything, I've just been in hibernation (long story)

but at any length the Gainward TI4600 0wns the leadtek offering totally...

the Gainward card is more highly clockable, the 2d is miles beyond what the leadtek manages and the board has a PAIR of DVI connectors (dual silicon image chips) ooh, plus personal cinema support, firewire and some rather gimicky stereo shutter glasses (they're cool, trust me)

all in all noone can touch the gainward... and in the review appearing on TechNation this week you'll see exactly why

 

[Testin da Cable]

hmmm so G > L then? hmmmmm....

 

[PR.]

Still no fecking Gainward card for me now 4/4/02, but there webby gives no details at all

Can't find it in many of my normal sites that I go to

If that were the case none of them would work since there isn't an AGP x8 yet

heh, there is no NEED about it, AGP is a backwards-compatible spec, just like AGP

nVidia developed NV25 to be the first AGP8x card, but there is an issue with the way AGP8x works (for one it uses more than the 1.5v spec of agp4x - therefore the review is factually correct in that NV25 as a GPU is 8x capable but all the manufacturer implementations are AGP4x through minor tweakage...

no biggie

AGP 8x is on GF4 but there isn't a chipset out there that currently supports this although its coming but I doubt its importance.
