Video Cards

[drod46]

It's me again with another question for you knowledgeable folks. I am considering upgrading my video card.. I have a GEFORCE 2TI from visiontek and I am looking at the GEFORCE 4 TI 4600.. My first question is will I see much of an improvement and also why is it that I found a PNY GEFORCE 4 TI 4600 for 239.00 dollars and a visiontek GEFORCE 4 TI 4600 for 339.00 dollars? What makes the 100.00 dollar difference? They both have 128MB DDR ram. Once again any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It may be that the PNY board is being sold as an OEM board that doesn't come with any extra software or goodies, whereas the Visiontek card is being sold as a Retail item with the fancy box and extra software.

I looked at all of them and chose the MSI Ti-4600. It had the highest results in several tests.

Thanks... I went ahead and ordered the MSI TI 4600 since you have such a high opinion of it.. I have a MSI motherboard and I am satisfied with it so I am sure the video card will get along with it:). Thanks again
