Preview: NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (4/13) |
By Lars Weinand - Editor In Chief RIVA Station / Editor Tomīs Hardware Guide Testsetup NVIDIA sent us a pre-production sample board of the GeForce4 Ti4200 with 128MB of RAM. Originally, this board was clocked at 250/230 (460) MHz. After flashing to the newer BIOS we received from NVIDIA, the memory clock speed was reduced to 222 (444) MHz. Currently, the 64MB versions with their faster memory speeds of 250 (500) MHz are still unavailable. While a simulation of such a board is theoretically possible, it is hard to tell how big an impact memory size actually has on testing results. Our results from the GeForce3 Ti200 comparison (GeForce3 Ti200 with 128MB) do not necessarily hold true for the GeForce4 series. Nonetheless, we simulated a "smaller" GeForce4 Ti4200 by overclocking the memory of our 128MB board to 250 (500) MHz. The results attained in such a configuration are not necessarily representative of the performance of a "real" 64MB Ti4200, and should therefore be seen only as a preliminary indication. We will only be able to post any final results once we have actually had some 64MB cards to test. All tests were run on an ASUS A7V266-E mainboard (VIA KT 266A) with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor.
Used Benchmarks:
All runs were made without Sound and V-Sync OFF. |
