Which card should I buy?
I CAN'T buy a SUMA Ti4200...cause they don't sell those cards here in Holland :(
So what is the best deal? I heard something about rebatched ASUS Ti4600 >>Ti4400 and Ti4200. Is this true...or just bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:?
If it is true...what are those ASUS cards capable of?

The Asus ti4200 is _THE_ most overclockable Ti4200, but it does have a slightly higher cost. It uses the 4600 PCB, not the normal 4200 PCB. It also uses BGA, ram so you can get much higher mem oc's.
Besides that card, the Abit Ti4200 is a winner in my books. Everyone seems to like it, as do I.

I went to the shop here and I took a look at the ASUS ti4200 (non deluxe)....it uses 4.0 samsung chips. Every normail ti4200 128MB card uses 4.0 ns samsung chippies, doesn't sounds like a winner to me.
And also doesn't sounds like a ti4600 card that is rebatched. Or is it only with the deluxe version? (heard the rebatching was only being done with the deluxe cards)
Sysfaillur, you own a Abit ti4200? A 64 or 128mb version...and how high can you clock it?
the normal version comes with 446mhz memory and 250 clock by default, the deluxe has 250 clock and 550 mem.
But the deluxe has stupid 3d glasses that nobody wants which probably why it costs £200 instead of 140.
Im guessing he does mean the standard 128mb asus ti4200 not the deluxe.
I can get a microstar ti4400 for £125 from a friend but dont know anything about microstar, im probably better off getting a new ti4200 that clocks well.

Yeah I was refering to the Deluxe. That comes on the 4600 PCB. I got my Abit 4200 to 305/600. ;)
but u can get a good ti4400 cheaper than the deluxe.....

I don't get why you consider buying a Suma/asus Ti4200 if you can get a regular 4400 for less money...? ???
My advise: get the cheapest GF4 Ti you find, OC it to the max and get the most bang for the buck. :)
That's what I did, I bought a Xelo Ti4200 and I'm able to bench @ 327|580Mhz. A bought one for a friend to, and his mem benches flawless at 600Mhz. Why should one spend more for a card that pr0lly won't clock higher?

My refurbished Chaintech VIVO 128MB GT21 from newegg ($135 shipped with all original equipment) kinda kicks ass. I can bench it at 325/600 stock equipment but play at 325/555 because I don't like the memory anamolies that show up after 575. It has also gotten good reviews around the web. You wont' be disappointed :D .

I found a nice card I think...
XFX Point of View Ti4200 SE 64MB...for 180 euro's (that's pretty cheap here)
It has 3.3ns chips...sounds like a good OCer!
