So just what does this card do ? well at
default fastest settings using 3Dmark2001 the Winfast GF4ti4200 128meg
Card gives us 9934 3Dmarks ,
Now lets see what sort of performance hit this card takes when we
start using Antialiasing , starting with 2x Antialiasing , which
returned a score of 7551 3Dmarks ,
and 4x Antialiasing , which returned a score of 4436
3Dmarks .
OVERCLOCKING :
With the factory settings at 250mhz
Core clock and 446mhz Mem clock speed ( as reported by Winfox ) , If
you check out the Leadtek card specs they claim 300mhz Core Clock and
650mhz Mem Clock speeds , eeeeer me thinks a error . 250 / 450 are the
real clock speeds .
Core 271mhz Mem
476mhz = 10335 3Dmarks
Core 291mhz Mem 500mhz = 10635
3Dmarks
Core 301mhz Mem 520mhz = 10830
3Dmarks
Core 311mhz Mem 540mhz = 11006
3Dmarks
Core 321mhz Mem 550mhz = These
are the highest safe Core and Mem settings that I could get without
Artifacts . = 11143 3Dmarks
CONCLUSION :
Ok , thats not to bad at all , 9934
3Dmarks at stock settings and a nice overclocking return of some 11143
3Dmarks , and this is without my playing around with the bios settings
trying to squeeze out every last ounce of performance . I like this
card a lot , and wish I hadn't had some $500 worth of expenses in the
last 2 weeks , seriously , I could have gone for another month without
going to the Dentist had I known this card was going to be so good ,
oh well , a week to go , to lodge my TAX return , hmmm , I know what
Im going to be spending my return on . Seriously , this is one good
card , and I can highly recommend this graphics card to anyone looking
for a GF4ti4200 card , not forgetting all the goodies this card comes
with .
