HotHardware has posted a review on the Asus V9820S Ti4200 video card



Asus enters the fray with their own card based on the NV28, the V9280S, and it is marketed well. The box is somewhat larger than the competitor's and adorned with eye-catching graphics. In large type, the words "SUPER FAST" are very hard to miss. And who wouldn't be looking for a super fast video card, right? Continuing on, we read that this card is "20% faster than Generic Ti4200". "20% faster" is one hell of an increase, I'd say. Taking a closer look at the specs, we find that this is attributable to a 10% increase in the GPU clock (250 to 275MHz) and a 20% increase in the memory clock (500MHz to 600MHz). Now, I am all for finding a way to increase the productivity of hardware (that's why we always cover how an item overclocks), but call me crazy, the last time I saw a card that was rated as 275/550+ it was called a GeForce 4 Ti 4400.
