Conclusion
I am very satisfied with this
product. PNY has a very bright future ahead of them This is
especially since it was recently announced that their american
competition, VisionTek, has gone out of business. Also, having
a lifetime warranty is a big plus. I was also very happy with
this card's overclocking abilities, it very easily overclocked
to Ti4600 speeds (slightly above, actually), however, I have
not tried to put it any higher. Another plus is Nvidia's driver
support, which lately has been excellent (many new drivers have
been released, including new dets which significantly increase
performance, I gained 1000 3dmark points stock).
The best part of this product
is the price, for only $200(http://www.tigerdirect.com)
you can receive a 250+% performance increase (upgrading from
a GF2). The only faults I have with this product are it's size
(which block airflow and make swapping ram harder than it should
be), and it's lack of cool bundled software(although that's
nothing major).
For anyone who's looking for an
upgrade this is a great card at an affordable price, and if
you are daring enough you can overclock it to Ti4600 speeds
and run them with no problem (please keep in mind some cards
overclock better than others). Even at stock speeds with 4x
anti-alaising at 1024x768 it runs quite smoothly, almost no
hiccups at all in anygame that I have played (Sof2, RTCW, etc.).
Final Score: B+
