Ti4800se for $80

[spazo]

If there is anyone who needs a budget card, this is the one to get. Its labeled as a Ti4200 but it is in fact a 4800se. The clocks are at 275/600.

Or you can get it bundled with Far Cry or Unreal Tournament 2004 for $98 and $95 respectivly.

far cry

nice deal! comes bundled with 5 games in retail box too not bad! A good dx8 card that should run pretty much anything!

 

[Chunkee]

so is it a 4200 or what does it really compare to?

I'm no video card connoisseur, but around a Radeon 9600SE/Pro?

 

[spazo]

It perfroms much better then a 9600 but slightly worse then a 9600pro.

 

[Kipper]

Seems to be moderately overclockable, at least according to the reviews I've found.

 

[newbiepcuser]

Would it be worth $4.00 more to get the 4400-->Albatron 4400 $84.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

Not to TC, but how are you sure it's a 4800?
All the specs are for the 4200

Good question, the description seems to put it somewhere between a 4400 and a 4600.

EDIT: Looks like it may be a faster than your typical 4800, not an SE from the specs:

Yep, even the model number is linked to the Ti4200.

Nope, it's the 9280s2 (notice the 2) so see my link above.

 

[Lanyap]

ASUS product web page says that model is a 4800.

http://www.asus.com/products/vga/v9280s2/overview.htm


EDIT: Looks like a gamble. Either mwave is using the wrong model# and it really is a 4200 or they are using the wrong description and it really is a 4800.

It was odd that Asus listed the the V9280s2 under the Ti4200 series.

It's possible that this is a discontinued gfxcard, hence the price.

isnt 4800 just 4200 with 8X AGP support?

 

[spazo]

Its definately a 4800se because I have one in my computer right now

 

[yougotdeals]

I'm still on a GeForce 3 Ti500

Possibly, as I recall the 4600 was very much more powerful than the 4200, but the description seems to hint that this 4800 is slower than the 4600, so yeah, probably 4200 chipset with 8x support.

If MWAVE are using the 9280-S2 product number, then their description is definitely wrong, bit of a gamble that they don't send you the 9280S (that matches the description).

 

[spazo]

The 9280s and the 9280s2 is the same exact product only Asus has renamed the s2 to more accurately reflect what it really is.

Anyways even if it is a 4200, it'll perfrom out of the box @ 275/600 which is a lot higher then any other 4200 I know of

Ti4600: 300Mhz core, 650Mhz memory (128MB)
Ti4400: 275Mhz core, 550Mhz memory (128MB)
Ti4200: 250Mhz core, 444Mhz memory (500-513Mhz in some versions/revisions) (64MB or 128MB)

Ti4800 = Ti4600 with AGP 8x
Ti4800SE = Ti4400 with AGP 8x

Ti4800SE = Ti4400 with AGP 8x

Reading the specs
it's 275Mhz core, 600Mhz mem, 128MB, DVI + VGA + SVideo, AGP 2,4,8x Ti4800 engine(/)

Timings a little slower than the 4600 but good for the price, says it has the 4800 chip.

Compared to the 9480 it goes only to 75Hz v 85Hz @ max resolution.

After my earlier reservations, if I needed a card, I'd jump on it!

 

[VooDooAddict]

I was pretty sure the 4800se is almost identical in performance to the 4400.

Regardless. I couldn't see myself spending $80 on a non-DX9 card. If I was getting a cheep card I'd rather spend the extra $$ and get a 9600Pro or (*Gasp*) FX5700 If I had to get Nvidia.

But I can't resist these 9800Pro deals lately ... so much faster then these things ... even non-gamers really notice the boost.

All geforce 4 Ti chips are basically the same thing. If you got a A3 revision ti4200 chip, that will easily hit ti4600 core speeds, and I'm pretty sure by now all geforce 4 Ti cards use A3 chips. The only difference is the memory. Most ti4200 128mb carry 4ns TSOP ram, while a few carried 3.3ns BGA ram. ti4400 also carried 3.3ns BGA, and so does this ti4800se. Ti4600 and ti4800 carry 2.8ns BGA ram. 3.3ns should easily get you 650mhz, which is the stock speed of ti4600.

Am I mistaken or will this card do video capture?

[jesusbonjovi]

i just bought a refurbished 9700 Pro for $150.... not that great of a deal but i am very desperate for a good video card....its not a 9800 Pro but from benchmarks its right behind it....what do you guys think? i was thinking of getting a GeForce 4 Ti4xxx but i wanted the Direct X 9 support... again what do you guys think? im even thinking of getting that Ti4800 (if it is a Ti4800) i think i'm going crazy here....

by the way check out the nice little disclaimer at the bottom of the page from the link for the "Ti4800"
