The Taiwanese Joytech Computer Company put up some info on their web-site about the graphics card based on NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200, the remaining solution from the GeForce4 family, which hasn’t yet started its invasion into the market. Its shipments were supposed to start already, as NVIDIA promised that the graphics cards on it would appear in retail before the end of April.
The specs of the graphics card, Joytech Bloody Monster GeForce4 TI 4200, didn’t make things about the working frequencies of the cards based on this chip any clearer, unfortunately. The chip frequency seems to have been finally confirmed as equal to 250MHz, however, we are still uncertain about the memory frequency. According to FiringSquad (see this news story) there should be 2 versions of GeForce4 Ti4200 based graphics cards: 250MHz/500MHz/64MB and 250MHz/444MHz/128MB. However, Joytech site claims the configuration 250MHz/450MHz/128MB. In fact, this is a nearly negligible difference (only 6MHz), but it is the principle that matters. Moreover, the first configuration seems to me more attractive than the second one.<%BANNER[article]%>
By the way, I noticed one funny thing. If the GeForce4 based graphics cards family by Joytech is called Bloody Monster, then the one on ATi chips is called Devil Monster. I wonder which of them is more terrifying? :)
