Hmmmm new BIOS, please post some feedback cos i am too scared to stuff up my card testing it.
yeah dissolved pls post w/ results
Hey guys, Im tellin ya, RMA them all and go with the Leadtek TI4200 128mb. Mine does 300/600 artifact free and 300/620 with barely noticable artifacts...all with stock voltage settings. Would like to vmod, but no money to replace it if it burns out.
I have no reason to RMA, as I said earlier mine does 300/700 with no probs what so ever. But like anyone here I too would like to go futher.
my card does 310/650 stock. So i dont think rma'ing is a good idea.Quote:

OK, i decided to flash anyway, I haven't tried OCing tests just yet, but on default my nature score have gone up from 81fps to 87fps, with the CPU clocked about 150MHz lower so this BIOS does improve performance greatly.
Just to say, my Abit Siluro TI4200 which is very old will do 320/640 stock everything. Why is everyone raving about these Albatron cards? I think N8 and a few others had similar experiences. I imagine their 128mb card will be pretty good as well, think I read it had faster memory than mine.
My "enhanced" Abit Ti4200 OTES has sucky RAM. I can hit 325 and run 3dmark, but RAM won't go higher than 575-580 before showing artifacts. To reach 100% stability I have to run the card at 310/575. The core is ok, it's 60Mhz more than stock Ti4200 speeds (and 10mhz more than Ti4600 ;) but the RAM was a complete disappointment.Quote:

I've got no ramsinks and have made absolutely no v-modding, and I only use a 300W PSU, so conclusion is that it's pretty ok.
Can you guys Stop talking about What other cards can do please?
Stay on topic.
im a bit tired of seeing people posting about other what other cards can do, and half of of you guys 4200/4400 dont even do what my albatron does.
So for gawds sake pls stay on topic!
EXCUSE ME then... It's just that there's more people with Ti4200 based cards, and the common denominator it the Ti4200 chip. But ok, I guess the comparing of several brands and the average quality of their overall OC-possibilites due to new chip revs etc. isn't interesting... I won't soil this thread with any comments from now on...

Well im not trying to flame you or anything. But theres probley 30 or so posts in the thread that arent even close to the topic. i didnt mean to have it go that way.
Well, I just recieved my replacement card (rma dead abit)..
Albatron ti4200 Turbo 128meg 8x.
Looks like this card does fairly decent...right now I'm at 300/600 and running great. I will push it further later and post results.
Sorry dissolved I was just putting in 2p worth.
I did have an Albatron, wasn't as good as my Siluro though.
Excellent cards and excellent VFM though!
so does the new bios help anything?
Higher performance?!?Quote:

If you're lookin' +100points in 3Dmrk,well this bios is for you! :)
If you're thinkin' that it could solve your OC probs (Albatron owner) than...stay away!! :(
I'm very surprised watching the last review about this :D EXCELLENT CARD :D on "vr-zone"...another rockin' card...but it's another batch(3th) or the usually rockin'card for reviever only ! :mad: :mad:
bye!

i fixed the windows problem (had yo uninstall sp1), and i installed the via 4n1's, then dx6, the the 41.09's and i got a 200 point gain. but that could be due to the reinstall of the drivers and not the bios.
Hi guys!
Here the first *Real* review about our loved card ;) nice results...
http://www.legitreviews.com/Reviews/..._4200p_1.shtml
salut!
I got a rebranded Albatron ti4200P turbo, it's now a Club3d ti4200 gamers edition. Its all the same as the albatron except for the sticker on the fan :cool:
anyway, i can clock my card to 315 / 700 without any problems.
nb, i got the old memory heatsinks, and no special cooling on it yet. Next week i'll have a Vcore and Vmem mod. I will also have my card on a separate waterloop so i can achieve low temps.
my albatron turbo running without mods @332/710 stable
with mods @ 385/780 :slobber:
Which memory does it have?Quote:

Cuz theres 2 differnt brands this card uses, and one doesnt oc at all.. which is what i have.
I do not have RAM sinks yet the going off abbott
Have any of you updated the BIOS on the chip?? They have a revision for the chip and it gave me about a 10 MHz speed increase on the RAM and a few on the core. I get around 315/720 with stock cooling and thermal paste. I have the 128MB version and its A3.
I love it and sorry you guys are having all of these problems.
You can actually RMA it just because it isnt OC'ing to your expectations? It is still going over what it says if it makes it over 300/650. I get a bunch over that so I have happy.
