Conclusion

ConclusionWell people there you have it. It can be considered a little boring as once more this is a very sweet product from Albatron. The RAW performance of this card is excellent. Probably even a tad better than the upcoming GeForce FX 5600 replacement, yet that one will be better in Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering plus it'll have DirectX9 compatibility. So if you are in the market to buy a new graphics card then have a good look around. You can expect more review on ATI's and NVIDIA's new products real soon, it's also you need to keep in mind and consider when you buy a graphics card right now. That said, if you want to buy a graphics card right now then you hardly can't go wrong with this one. In all honesty I really do like Albatron's products, so for not even one of their cards failed, was instable or anything else at all. Furthermore I believe it's using the GeForce4 Ti 4600 PCB, combine that with the magnificent copper cooler and fast BGA memory and you have the key to label the product as high quality. As usual image quality was crystal sharp in both 2D and 3D mode.

If you leave this graphics card untweaked it will perform close to the Ti 4400/4600 which already is really good value by itself. But if we take 5 seconds to tweak this card it'll even outperform a standard GeForce4 Ti 4600 easily which makes it even more value for your bucks. Right now this is a very all-round mid-range performing graphics card. Definitely recommended by Guru3D.com yet bare the newer DirectX9 products in mind.
