NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 Roundup - June 2002

Final Words

As we get more Ti 4200 cards we'll try and keep this roundup up to date. Because we only had a few entries in the initial roundup we couldn't really give out any awards but we'd like to point out some promising candidates.

Based on our 64MB vs. 128MB discussions it would make sense for you to go with a 128MB card. With that said, we were particularly impressed with Prolink from a cooling standpoint. All of the fans in this comparison operated at relatively similar noise levels, so it was heatsink design that really factored into our decisions as far as cooling went. We would encourage Prolink to include a DVI-to-VGA adapter for those users that want to take advantage of nView and have two VGA monitors.

Our best recommendation would be to find the card that's the cheapest; unless you're going to be taking advantage of any VIVO features then you're best off with the cheapest 128MB card you can find. This will vary depending on your location and where you're buying from; so while we'll try to keep you on top of things with our Price Guides, you may be on your own when it comes to finding the best overall deal. If all else fails, you can ask these guys for help; they seem to know a thing or two about finding good deals.
