Gainward or Leadtek GF4 Ti4400?

[Byte]

I can't decide!?! Any suggestions?

I went with the Gainward because of all of its other features. The Gainward is also garaunteed to overclock to a certain spec. The heatsink on the Gainward is also above average like the Leadtek.

<<Edit>> By the way, I don't have mine yet to give you a hands on opinion of it. I ordered on saturday.

If I had a choice, I would go with the Gainward as well. It looks like a cool card with alot of features. Plus it will be a good overclocker according to other Gainward cards(even the ti4600 is a good overclocker).

I have the Leadtek right now at 320 720 without a hitch. I LOVE IT.

 

[Blurry]

Go with the Leadtek. I'm know I am since I am waiting for it. Due Thursday.

gainward has standard heatsink fan, it's the leadtek that has super awesome heatsink fan, two in fact! But i hear it's the luck of draw. The Gainward does inlcude a DVI adapter though. But leadtek comes with two games gunlock and something else, don't know. Gainward comes with serious sam which i hate. Also don't like red PCB, i like black Ah decisions desisoins..........

Leadtek comes with Dronez and Gunlock for games but dont worry they both suck for games. I will say this though Dronez is pretty amazing looking graphics wise.

I'll be sticking to Leadtek if I get a GF4 Ti4600.

<< Leadtek >>



If anything, it looks pimp...
I've heard it overclocks stable with the two fans, even better if you mount a third on the bottom (but that's just getting carried away)

 

[Seyba]

Has anyone actually compared the two, or are you just boasting the one you paid money for?

 

[han888]

leadtek for me my ti 4400 run at 300/650

 

[rgowen]

I would go with the Gainward between those 2 for the VIVO. So far, it is the only Ti4400 to have this feature.

 

[Servbot]

Actually, the MSI card has VIVO as well.
So.. I'd go with MSI or Gainward if you like the VIVO.
Or maybe PNY if you want the 3d glasses. I did hear about a lot of people being disappointed with the PNY cards though.
Besides that, all I can think of is that some of them come with DVI-VGA adapters and some don't, and they all have different bundled software.

dumb question of the day: wat is vivo>??

 

[mamisano]

VIVO = Video In Video Out

 

[ambushy]

My Leadtek GF4 Ti4400 can do 310/650.

Can anyone post o/c results with their Gainward Ti?

 

[JellyBaby]

Good news with my Leadtek 4400 - it does 300/650 easily. Haven't tried higher. The hsf is noticeably warmer than at stock but I can keep my fingers on it all day without a problem. The twin fans aren't quiet but they're really not noisy either and you could always remove one and just shift it to the center...I might do that in fact.

 

[Ganryu]

If you want to quiet the Leadtek just take the fan apart and take out the dust screens.

 

[tuan121]

I'll go w/ the Gainward. I think they OC better.

 

[funks]

the MSI GF4 4400 also comes with VIVO and it's only 260$ (newegg)..

And I got mine to TI4600 speeds no probs - 300/650 respectively.

 

[scoobydooby]

I would say the Leadtek because I think(?) it's a tad cheaper. Or the Gainward because it's red. I think they overclock about the same and for me they both come with features/games I have no use for. I'm guessing you'll be happy either way so just buy one! I'll be waiting till the fall since my Gainward Geforce3 Ti 200 is a beast, he don't need no replacement

MSI/PNY has vivo? Oh well i just sold mine it's crap. It won't work on my nForce board, but works on all my other boards. And it can't o/c that well too. I don't really need VIVO.

 

[Roxxor]

Go with Gainward....because they're l33t as h3ll =P....great for overclocking, and I think Leadtek had some problems with their older Geforce cards....

 

[jaeger66]

The only problem Leadtek had was with their original GeForce SDR. It tended to overheat, sparking their subsequent obsession with needlessly huge heatsinks.

 

[Byte]

i'm getting the leadteks. Though i usually like gainward, you just can't compete with that monster heatsink!!!
