Well, I was waiting for the Matrox Parhelia card before I plunged in to a new card for my PC. It seems the Matrox did not have the performance I had hoped so now I'm back on the Nivida band wagon.
My wait was not in vain as I was by all accounts going to purchase the Gainward Ti4600 card. The Gainward is still a top card in my books, however I though about getting an Asus, just because I'm running an Asus MB and Asus really know how to make boards.
Waiting does have it benefits as Asus has just released their Deluxe version of the Ti4600. The Deluxe versions of Asus cards have always made my mouth water for the feature set and this one does not seem to disappoint.
What I like about this card is it is based on the Nvidia reference design, unlike the Asus GF3 that was Asus's sole design. Not that Asus designing their own cards is a bad thing for we all know Asus knows how to make cards, and many of their previous offerings have been stellar if not top of the class. I like the reference design more so that it allows using reference Detonator XP drivers with out worrying that the Asus card may not work with them. This just makes my life simpler for I like using updated and beta drivers. Don't ask me why, I just do :P
Anyway enough bantering, I'm sure you want a look at the card. Well, sorry I don't have it yet, but I should have it sometime next week. Meanwhile you'll just have to settle for these links....
