Leadtek vs Visiontek vs PNY

[Blurry]

Look at my system rigs and you'll see my excitement.
Ok, I just purchased a new system, (EPoX Motherboard, AMD XP 2000, 256MB DDR 2100 Crucial memory, 80GB 7200 RPM IBM HDD, SB Audigy, etc)
What i am stuck on is the Video Card section.
Newegg is out of Gainwards, so I am stuck with Visiontek, Leadtek, and PNY. I think i want to buy the Leadtek. Does anybody have an reviews or experience with this card?

I think there's a problem with the Epox 8KHA+ and the Ti 4600s, supposedly they don't fit in the AGP slot due to a capacitor being too high?

BTW why do you think we want to know about your sexuality?!
"and my Faggots flamin' "

I have a Visiontek Ti 4600 and I can't imagine a card being any better. SOOOO fast! 2D is just great, and 3D is beautiful. Nothing even close to a problem during installation.

You do need to check into the EPoX AGP slot problem with the Ti 4600 though. I think it is a real issue.

That's cool and all, but I think what he wanted to know is how the different brands break down. Whether or not those listed will perform about the same. That's what I'd like to know, as well. I have the same Epox board and I'm still trying to figure out if the 4400 card has compatibility issues. Anyone know about that?

"Whether or not those listed will perform about the same."
Have you ever seen a GF card that didn't perform about the same?

"I have the same Epox board and I'm still trying to figure out if the 4400 card has compatibility issues. Anyone know about that?"
I have an 8KHA+ and read elsewhere the PNY Ti4400 fits, may try it today if I can find one. I'll let you know- comes with the 3d glasses free.

The PNY Ti4400 fits on the Epox 8KHA+ fine. (and seems to work fine as well)

BTW; this is offtopic but Faggots flamin may not necessarily be sexual. you see a Fagot in England is a cigarette.

Sorry if you find it offense, but I was pretty amused when a buddy of mine was drunk one night and shouted this phrase.

 

[nRollo]

I wasn't offended. More perplexed.

I thought it was a "too much info" kind of thing, didn't realize it's a joke.

Just got the Leadtek today after trying 2 PNY cards. Hands down this card is the best I am running it at 320 core 730 memory without even a blink booting into the desktop. I got mine from an online store and it was cheaper then the PNY cause there was no sales tax.

It's from a Simpsons episode.

Hey WaTaGump, how's the 2D on the Leadtek? After going through 2 Geforce 2 GTS, I thought nVidia's 2D was pretty lame. That's why I'm still stuck with a cheap ATI Xpert 2000

 

[Blurry]

I also need this card since I'm sick and tired of playing Ghost Recon with an average frame rate of 13FPS! Whenever I get around 24FPS, it would mean celebration for me.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Everything about the Leadtek is good. I had a G3 card from them also, I am pretty much a Leadtek fan for life. I like the fact that with the Leadtek card even if you switch to Nvidia WHQL drivers you can keep the Winfox Utlility in the system and overclock without having to get another program. It also has very good info in the Winfox utility. Lets also not forget how cool the card looks with the pimp ass heatsink on it, and to me its not as loud as I thought it would be. I play a very old game called Subspace and at certain places on the map I get over 1300 fps, and yes thats not a typo. I have had over 4000 fps in the game at 512 res just messing around.

 

[Blurry]

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm ready to press the "Buy" button at Newegg.

That will be the best buy you ever make. If you get it please let me know how you like it.

 

[ShadowDJ]

OMG. I'm so jealous of people that can buy these cards. I get 13 fps in games too.
What I would give...

 

[TheStang]

I currently own a Visiontek Ti4600, and so far I've had no problems with it. It's been running really smooth and solid for all my games. Even at 4x FSAA and 1152 res, it still kicks ass. The board also comes with this really sleek looking heatsink

 

[caboob]

I just got in a PNY 4600 and I immediately fired up UT at 640 with FSAA turned all the way up just for kicks...just awesome, better FSAA than my radeon 8500. BTW, I get flamin framerates at 1600 as well. HAHAHA

Cool, Newegg sent me an e-mail saying that the Leadtek will arrive on Thursday. Can't wait!

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Good call on the purchase of it Blurry, you can thank me later.
