Sorry I don't care about features. I care how good the card is built. If you
want to buy one of the expensive models of nvidia cards for a reputable
dealer then wore power to you but every time I have to deal with a dead part
in my shop it costs me money not the customer. When people out there start
snaping up what looks like a good deal to them they are gona get burned if it
says nvidia on it.
The only nvidia cards that are any good are the expansive ones. All the rest
are just rehash with cheap parts. Did you know that the nvidia gforce4 mx
cards are really a souped up gforce2 with cheap parts thrown in. You may get
a good one but the failure ratio on these low end cards is much higher then
the top of the line models which means you chances of getting a bad one are
pretty high also.
