This Ti4200 from Abit will actually run faster than a Ti4600 but will retail for only a little more cost than a Ti4200! Its insane!!! But good.

That thing must way a ton with that Hairdryer strapped to it!

Like the double height backet - it'll need it for the extra weight, and should stop it from waving about in the case. Nice - especially as you're loosing a PCI slot with the cooler anyway.

 

Holy sheesh!

Do you have any specs? Linkage?

I was looking at the Asus V8420 for it's 3.3ns Samsung BGA mem and 8-layer PCB but now I'll have to check this mutha out.....

 

some more info available on the register

 

from the reg

'There's one easy set intended to make it easier for normal people to mess with their settings, and the real stuff for the hard *******s'

i just found that really funny. anyone seen any specs?

Forgot to add....

ABIT ROCK!!

 

I think I may be able to get some, if anyone's interested? (note the emphasis on may).

 

I have £150 sitting in front of me for the card now.

I am interested.

 

Hopefully, I should know more by the weekend.

 

cool extra pics there of the mother ti4200, but 7200rpm!! isnt that gunna be louder than all 6 of my case fans put together?! i really want one right now, but the noise may well put me off getting one

 

Yeah. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

That is THE coolest GFX card in existance.

If it's vacum sealed, how do I watercool it without FUBARing it?

Do I even need to?

I don't like noise though.


btw, I'm in Japan and if it is already released here I'll definately
look it up.

 

Im waiting for reviews first to see if it lives up to its speed claims and second to see if its a loud bitch.

But noice really wouldnt be a problem for me I have a 80mm Delta

 

geek1017, i beleive it is out in japan already and NO you will not need to water cool this beast!

the whole point is to bring overclockng to the masses. to get any result out of this ti4200 you need to overclock it like a biatch to make it run as fast as a ti4600. and to do this you need the mother of all cooling systems, and i believe we have found it planted on this gfx card!

 

how much do you think this would run for in the us cuz i really need to upgrade my gf2 mx400

 

Scan now have them....

 

I have 2 questions.

Kevo, you seem to know a lot about the markets in Japan. Do you know of a Japanese online retailer that might have this card?
BTW I'm in the Osaka area and a trip to Tokyo is kind of out of the question for a few more months.

In general, Scan shows the card as having 64Mb memory. Will I see a signifigant improvement over my current GF3 Ti200 128Mb?
I mostly play fps type games.

 

HERE you can buy it directly through Akiba.

You should see quite a nice speed boost.
