Visiontek's successor

Featured Replies

I am contemplating replacing my old Elsa Gladiac with a new Ti4200, 4400, or 4600. With Visiontek going (or gone?) bellyup, what other video cards are FS2002 enthusiasts using to achieve stable and visually honest results: MSI, Leadtek, Gainward, etc. ? My thanks in advance for users' comments. Of course, I am not even certain Visiontek is dead or just very ill, but the article in the url below would appear to spell its demise:http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzM5 http://members.cox.net/rfromholz/adx3.JPG

They're not dead yet. I called them to get a replacement GPU fan last week and it arrived 4 days later.Smokintodd out.Operating out of CYXU.Athlon 1.4Asus A7M512MB DDRGF3 Ti200SB LiveWin98SE

I've had real good luck with Gainward cards.

I'll second Jerry's choice. The Golden Samples are first class cards. I've been running my GF3 Ti200 at Ti500 speeds (with no additional cooling) since I put it in five months ago. 0 problems. They use top quality components. And their prices can't be beat.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your comments. Here is the Gainward card that I currently (could change) have in mind for $157 retail version:GAINWARD/CARDEXPERT GeForce 4 Ti 4200, 4ns, 128MB DDR, Power Pack Golden SampleI am running my Elsa Gladiac with nvidia's 30.82 drivers which produces fine resolution and acceptable 29 - 40fps in full screen. I assume I could use the 30.82 with just about any Gainward GeForce card, right? Did you remove all component files and reference folders for your previous card before installation? Were any WinXP compatibility problems encountered? http://members.cox.net/rfromholz/adx3.JPG

The card you point out is the card I was thinking of when I made my earlier post. It will readily overclock to 4400 speeds, and run just fine.As this is an Nvidia card, you should be able to run the 30.82 drivers, though some of the newer drivers may prove better with the new card (YMMV, of course).I ALWAYS make a habit of completely removing all vestiges of a previous driver pack before trying a new one. Few if any problems by following this protocal.I run 98SE, so I can't help you with your question regarding XP.

Thank you again, Greg. It's pretty pricey (actually midrange) at $157, but I am in the mood to upgrade my video card, so I'll probably spring for it.http://members.cox.net/rfromholz/adx3.JPG

Gainward rocks - I have the Original GeForce3 Power Pack from them and it's never given me a single problem. When the NV30 comes out, you can bet I'll buy the Gainward card...
