I purchased an Asylum GF4 Ti4200 128mb agp card approx 1 1/2 years ago. Well anyway the fan on the nvidia chip stopped running. I was lucky that the card still works...only it may cut out once in a while due to heat. I called BFG to see if I could get a replacement fan (I didn't believe I was still under warranty...but just wanted to get a fan that would go on easy and went back to the source). Well, to my surprise my warranty is good for as long as BFG is in business. They gave me two offers. One was to send a fan...the other was for me to ship them my card and they will send me a whole new replacement card...in the box! Well I opted for the replacement. I am so pleased with this that I wanted to give them some credit here and let you folks know that BFG does this. I also asked if all companies do this and the tech guy said he only knew of one other (I forget the name). He also stated that if he didn't work for them...he also keeps this BFG warranty info in mind when purchasing parts. He has the 6800xt (lucky guy ;) ). Anyway, if I do get a more expensive card I will certainly keep BFG in mind.

The FX5200 is the market replacement for the TI4200. Unfortunately it provides around 1/2 the performance. Hopefully they send you something better.

Actually, I think 5600's/5700's are what they <i>were</i> replacing Ti4200's with.
