How much extra do you want to pay for "bleeding edge"?,
By
This review is from: PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4600 AGP 128 MB DDR Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
This card is the fastest currently out as I write this review. That said, ATI has already announced their newest product, the Radeon 9700, will beat the Ti4600 and it's shipping soon. Not to worry nVidia owners, their next generation chip, the NV30, is on the way. And so it goes... Meanwhile, you're probably wondering if you should spend the extra money for this card. Perhaps this will help:I'm currently running a Geforce 2 Ultra on a 1gig AMD Thunderbird system with 256K SDRAM. By todays standards that's pretty weak and any new system sold is probably much faster. This card is the current best of the best, yet the price is pretty steep too. Here's how the different cards will improve my system performance: Keep in mind that these scores are on my fairly dated 1gig processor. Those of you with faster chips will probably show an even greater improvement with the faster cards. Regardless, I can still run all the games currently out without problems. This includes the (current) high performance games like Grand Theft Auto 3, Morrowind, Dungeon Siege, Wolfenstein 3D, etc. Once the newest crop of shooters like Unreal Tournament 2, Unreal 2, and Doom III come out I'll probably need to upgrade (but I can hope.) Looking at the numbers, I can get a 50% improvement by upgrading to a relatively inexpensive Geforce 3, an 80% improvement by upgrading to a Ti4200 or Ti4400, or a 94% improvement by buying this card. I'll probably put my ego in check and save 1/3 the price by getting the ti4200 or ti4400 card over this card. My gut is also telling me prices of the ti4600 are going to drop rapidly once ATI's 9700 hits the shelves, but of course that doesn't help you if you're looking for a card right now. One last thing, as the scores indicate, don't make the mistake of getting a Geforce 4 "MX" card. Hope the review helped.

Great card Rotten Warr. Service,

This review is from: PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4600 AGP 128 MB DDR Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
On March 22nd I purchased a PNY Technologies Verto Ti4600 video card. The card worked fine for five weeks. The card is now defective. The video display has unwanted text on the screen. This is manifested as columns of white dots or other `garbage' on the screen. It also causes Windows XP to lock up or crash. A different video card is working just fine.I have tried to contact PNY tech support, to no avail. I have called over 20 times in one week. And every time I have been given a `session' number and put on hold, by their automated system. I have left numerous voice mail messages, none of which have been returned. I called their main number twice, to be put to their voice mail system. I have waited on hold for a total of over seven hours, once for 2 ½ hours, without talking to anyone in tech support. The manual states that this card has a `lifetime replacement warranty'. Some warr. is they never answer the phone! Finally some one calls, I get a RMA# & send the card to them. If I had sent the card ground, the total turn-around time will be about 5 weeks. To me 5 week's is totally unacceptable. Also, as I write this, I have not got it back yet, should get it in another 9 day's. IF it goes out on 5/13. Great card, Poor Service. That gives them a big 2 thumbs down from me.

Advice for Geforce 3 Owners,
By "greatone222" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4600 AGP 128 MB DDR Graphics Card (Personal Computers)
First of all, let me say, I have a PNY Geforce 3 Ti, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product itself. As for the customer support, I haven't had any issues, so I can't comment there.Computer: P4, 700MB RAM, Geforce 3 Ti, Turtle Beach Sound Card, 19 inch Trintron Monitor, and Pro-Media 5.1 Surround System. Now on to the Geforce 4 Ti-4600. My friend bought a new computer a couple weeks ago, and got the PNY G4 Ti-4600 as an option. I had to go over and see what it looked like. Very impressive. However, not much different than the Geforce 3 Ti that I'm running. You will get better frame rates because of the speed of the card, and the extra RAM, but when it comes down to what you see on the screen, there isn't much difference. If you have a Geforce 2 or less, or buying a new computer, I'd definetly recommend this card. If your on a Geforce 3 Ti, I'd wait for the G5. There just isn't enough of a difference, especially if you download the new Detonator XP drivers from the Nvidia website. Then theres the people who just want to have the BEST out there, just to have it. I'm one of those people, but for once I'm going to stick with what I've got, and wait for the next big advance in graphics before I spend the big money. Good luck and take care. ***UPDATE*** I recently purchased a new Dell 8200, 2.8ghz, 512MB RD RAM, and this Geforce 4 Ti 4600 card. As I suspected, my games dont look much better at ALL from the Geforce 3 Ti 500. Sure, better frame rates, but I just wanted to affirm that you wont see a difference on screen, unless you crank up the AA settings and the resolution. If your a HARDCORE gamer you may want to grab this, but the Radeon 9700 PRO currently beats the heck out of it for the same price. Decision is yours.
