GF4 Ti4800 Follow-up (0 Comments) (link)
 Sunday, 19-January-2003  15:10:09 (GMT +10) - by Agg

You might remember a week or so ago, I commented about GeForce4 Ti4800 and wondered why I hadn't heard of it before. I got quite a few email responses to my query, but there's a definite division of opinion. Half say it's a new name for the existing Ti4200 chipset with AGP8X, while half say it's a name for the as-yet-unannounced version of Ti4600 with AGP8X. Opinion is divided even among webmasters of other hardware sites who sent me their thoughts.

There's no mention of Ti4800 on NVIDIA's GeForce4 Ti page, but the Ti4200-8X version is clearly shown. Seems unlikely they'd rename that product this late in its life. A couple of vendors hinted that it would be a top-range card, not a value card like a Ti4200 derivative. PlusCorp say they've had stock for a couple of weeks now, but there's no chipset info there.

Last night, I noticed VR-Zone have a review of a Ti4800SE card - the Triplex card that PlusCorp have. In there, they say: NVIDIA has quietly added two more GPUs recently and no official announcement was made about it. The two new GPUs are GeForce 4 Ti4800 and Ti4800SE with AGP 8X interface which are just GeForce4 Ti4600 and Ti4400 with AGP 8X respectively. So there you go, well done to the 50% who got it right. :) William sent more info on the GPU here and info on MSI's card here.
