mcb Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 which would you pick? a geforce4 ti4200 128mb made by eVga or by MSI? both are equal in price pretty mcuh, only difference is the brand, and whatever junk comes with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 does mx count? i got a PNY Geforce 4 MX 440 64MB DDR this morning after ordering online the other day, and i'm quite impressing by it. :) i was gonna get a msi one but pny are a better m8 and also the refresh rates were higher on the pny ones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedr0 Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 pny are a better m8 and also the refresh rates were higher on the pny ones Actually a nVidia chipset is not customized by any card maker (it'd be a different chip then), the only differences between the cards are memory quantities and features on it, so that a card from a different manufacturer but with the same chipset having different refresh rates seems pure idiocy. I'd go for MSI, it's a more respectable firm than eVGA to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 well it stated on aria.co.uk the refresh rates were different on the 2 cards, plus people said pny are a better make. even the webmaster recomened it to the msi one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
