Geforce4 Ti4600

[Roman]

Hey lads!

I was wondering if anyone here is using a Geforce4 Ti4600 yet? I happen to have gotten my hands on a Leadtek A250 Ultra a while back, and i am very happy with it.

I would like to know the following:

1) Who has one, and how well did it overclock?

2) Has anyone used the Nview option, with one CRT and a LCD? i was thinking of trying it, but LCD's are expensive and i want to know how usefull it is before i jump into anything.

My Ti4600 clocks @ 320/695 right now...

My Ti4200 gives me that out of the core.. But I'm left jealous of your memory speed :p

[Roman]

Nice :D :D

what RAM does your Ti4200 use?

My Ti4600 uses Samsung RAM i believe, and it has the Pins underneath the RAM chip, not on the sides like standard DDR RAM.

I got the same card as you.. only a coupla weeks ago... seems fine.. tho i haven't tried the n-view yet.. I'll be using two CRT's when I do. Did you get a DVI to VGA adapter in the box?... looks like some markets are getting them and others not...
I have run the speeds at wot you got.. but sitting back on stock for the moment.. didn't test the stabilty or nuthing.. just having a look..

I'ts called BGA ram dude
BGA = Ball Grid Array
its a whole lotta balls under the ram chip :D
They run cooler, work marginally faster, but are more fragile than "normal" rectangular ram (TSMC i think....)
Once u have put a ramsink on BGA mem, i wouldnt advise taking it off....

My Ti-4200 did 330 for core and 575 for memory.

[Hans]

Silver, it's called TSOP process.

[SilverPriest]

Ah, thats right, thanks Hans
Just clicked that TSMC stands for "Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co"
*blushes*

I would be particularily interested to hear back from anyone running dually's off a Ti4600 with their displays @ 1600 or higher. I just want to know what the 2D quality is like ( I know the Chaintech's are mediocre, and if the Leadtek's are anything like all their other cards, they'll be good... )?

But yeah - you can buy a DVI adapter, which allows you to run a CRT off the secondary output.

Though I'm not sure what it can do - cos the DVI port only supports up to 1600 res :( - so I doubt the adaptered version would do any higher....

[Hans]

KJ,

to the best of my knowledge, the DVI output chip used on most of the GF4 Ti series is Sillicon Image S11164CT64.

That chip's output resolution is limited at 1280*1024. I am not sure about other DVI output chips though.

[Solid Snake]

I believe the 2D output on *most* GeForce 4 cards are pretty blah ... apparently text gets blurred on most GF4 cards on 1600 X 1200.

At the moment I am thinking of getting the Gainward GS one with 2 DVI ports [who know ... i may switch to dually LCD later on in 1-2 years]. I'll let you know how the performance is like ... well you'll have to come to see it yourself cos your eyes seem to detect any sense of fuzziness.

:D .. on the other note > P|-|AR to my TR|PL3 monitor setup :) Even my other PCI card is a 3D accelerator ........ ahem... sorry.

Hans: I am VERY impressed with your core & memory overclock... that's a fantastic score.

Roman: I was thinking of getting the LeadTek card .... but the idea of that card falling .... *shudders*

AS3 + stock Heatsink + Screws instead of the Plastic Pins to tighten the ***** down + 60mm blower in front and 80mm in back... ;)

Screws huh? Be careful not to tighten them too much or the PCB may crack/split.

*bad flashback*

[p01s0n_p1e]

i too have painful memorys involving video cards

*flash backs to two weekends ago*
lets peltier cool the video card using the stock heatsink to draw heat away.....

[Jiriteach]

my ti4400 is overclocked to 300 / 660
same spec as the ti4600

running sweet as
get very high 3d mark

And what is the 3DMark score you get exactly? 11000? 12000?

Do you have a compare link?

[Jiriteach]

i get 9832 ..

and ive got it up to 10150

heh .. ! did the test but didnt submit it online
i'll do i again and put it up for you to have a look ..

[Jiriteach]

here u go ..

[Humantuckshop]

9891 marks.......Looking good Jiriteach, what's the story with the 138MHz FSB?

That Athlon needs unlocking me thinks...... ;)

[Jiriteach]

yup ..
only thing is to do it

:)

I'll do it for ya......... Although i'm in Auckers.....

Nice Avatar BTW. :D

[Ripping]

thought I'd post my results here...

hey, while we are on the subject of ti4600's, i was wondering what do u guys think are the best ti4600's for voltmodding?

[Artifice]

what do u guys think are the best ti4600's for voltmodding?
ahhh, somebody else's

[Volodkovich]

heh, im sayin this coz apparently no one has voltmodded a chaintech ti4600 successfully and i kinda wanna know - im building a massively OCed system and wanna pick the best card

The cheapest one you can find ;) - ie: not a Leadek. Maybe source a SPARK Ti4600 from Thailand.
