MSI GeForce4 Ti4600
Introduction
As more and more GeForce4 based graphics cards pour out onto the market we begin to determine which one will pull ahead of the others. Graphics cards are all getting faster these days and we are beginning to see competition more in the features area than raw speed. Most Ti4600 based cards run at the same clock speeds, which are a 300Mhz core and 2x325Mhz DDR memory. We all know the question that needs answered. Is the Geforce4 Ti4600 worth its $350-400+ price tag or are we better off getting a cheaper card?
