Albatron Ti4200P Turbo w/ 3.3ns memory

[phsstpok]

Anyone else hear about this card?

I was just reading <A HREF="http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/newspro/viewnews.cgi?newsid1030353174,18890," target="_new">this article</A>. It states that the Albatron Ti4200P Turbo (and it's 64mb little brother, Ti4200 Turbo) has an 8-layer PCB (like Ti4600) and 3.3ns memory clocked at 550 ns. I checked the <A HREF="http://www.albatron.com.tw" target="_new">Albatron site</A> and found <A HREF="http://www.albatron.com.tw/VGA_Card/Ti4200_P_turbo.php" target="_new">these specifications</A>. It looks like the real deal. Interestingly, the <A HREF="http://www.albatron.com.tw/Bios_update.php" target="_new">update link</A> offers the nVFlash utility and a video BIOS update for a product that hasn't even been released yet.

The above mentioned article claims stock speeds to within 5% of the Ti4600!

Sounds like a copy of the ASUS Ti4200 deluxe?

That's the name of the card. I was trying to remember who had a similarly described Ti4200.

I was comparing the picture of the Ti4200P Turbo with Albatron's Ti4600 card. The Ti4200P Turbo seems to have a bigger HSF but otherwise the card looks the same.

Yeah, I've not seen any Albatron cards in Canada at all, so I've never really looked at them at all.

Yeah, kind of a surprise to me too. We were just talking about this, or rather I was. I was talking about how some not well known companies might pick up the slack left by the demise of Visiontek. I just did a quick internet search and threw out few names at random. I didn't really think I'd see Albatron but there it is showing up on Pricewatch. After seeing the specs of Ti4200P Turbo I hope hear more from this company.

Seems like they're making some promising mobos too. All these Asian companies taking over the market huh?
