Review: Visiontek Xtasy Ti4200 128MB

Performance is strong across the test suite and behind Ti4400 where you'd expect it to be. Comprehensively quicker than GeForce3 and a beater of R8500 in most tests, it sits behind Ti4400 and Ti4600 in the performance rankings.

The 128MB frame buffer advantage over it's 64MB siblings is cancelled out to some extent by the lower memory clock although it all depends on the games that you run. Texture heavy games should still be quicker on this board than a 250/500 64MB Ti4200, despite the lower memory clock.

Overall, the price performance advantage that Ti4200 has over the rest of the market just now is compelling and expect that to get bigger as prices drop even further in the run up to the fall refresh.

I'm a big fan of the performance of these cards and you have to really push them with aniso and AA to make them struggle. That leads me nicely on to overclocking.

Overclocking the card in my machine led to a final stable clock of 302/552, Ti4400 speeds without issue and in a friends machine the memory is doing a heady 594MHz, not bad for 4ns Samsung TSOP modules but of course, your mileage will vary. That's why I haven't featured overclocking results here since the speeds obtainable are pretty machine specific. Ti4400 speeds should be easy for 24/7 running however, I will venture that much.

A quick look at the card and bundle, then onto the conclusion.
