Triplex GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB **3.3ns**, anyone?

[ianching]

Only managed to find one listing in pricewatch. Here.

Anyone using Triplex GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB? How do they overclock? According to the Triplex website, the 64MB uses Hynix 3.3ns RAM.

Silver PCB, 3.3ns 64MB DDR, attractive price, what a great card!

For those who can read chinese, here is the Triplex page which says Hynix 3.3ns RAM!

Looks cool but too bad it's only 64MB...

Since they ALL use reference designs right now, they all will perform very much alike and overclock alike within a few percentage points from each other. Unless someone uses significantly better ram or you get an exceptional core (highly unlikely), they should all be about the same.

There isn't tons of info out there about the Ti4200s since they're pretty new. But from the research I've done it seems that the best overclockers of the batch of 64 meg cards out there are the ones from Prolink and MSI which seem to be hitting 600mhz+ while most of the rest seem to hit about 560-570mhz with some exceptions.

As always with overclocking though, your mileage may vary.

I've never heard of Triplex or seen any reviews....

Edit: Dude, the reference design calls for 3.5ns RAM...so if this card really does use 3.3ns RAM then it's theoretical performance should be better than the other 64 meg Ti4200s

Card looks pretty...

Anyone used Triplex before? Can't seem to find any reviews on the web.

Don't know about its reputation and quality of the cards......

You know, I'm considering the MSI 64MB as well (read that most people have its RAM overclocked to 600MHz+).

The reference design may use 3.5ns memory but who cares? All the manufactures out there currently uses 3.3ns memory for their 64mb cards so far.

Yesterday you said they ALL use the reference design
Today you say they ALL DON'T use the reference design

Having a hard time making up your mind? Which one is it?

That board even looks better than the Chinatech with gold heatsinks

The look of the card is of course good, it's the coolest display card I have yet to see

But most important is that it's equipped with Hynix 3.3ns RAM!

Actually you're wrong. Technically every card manufacturer could use 4.0ns memory since the 64MB cards are spec'd to 500MHz. In reality, the standard is 3.6ns, which means that everyone with a 64MB Ti4200 should be able to "overclock" the memory to 555MHz. As far as I know, only Triplex is currently producing 64MB Ti4200 cards with 3.3ns memory. Of course the price will be higher for these cards, but they should overclock better as a result.

I really want to buy one of these Triplex cards but the only US vendor I can find is, unfortunately OCsystem, who I choose not to deal with.

Does anybody know where I can buy one?
