How much extra do you want to pay for "bleeding edge"?,

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:
6985 194% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600
6565 183% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200
6512 181% NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400
6341 176% ATI Radeon 8500
5450 152% NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500
5330 148% NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200
5238 146% NVIDIA GeForce3
4107 114%...Read more

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...Read more

Advice for Geforce 3 Owners,

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.
(I've also written reviews on a few of these)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...Read more
