Hello Vogon
I recently acquired a very nice card, AOpen Aeolus TI4200 8X-DVC128 N8. Its Geforce Ti 4200 with NV28 gpu, 128MB memory, 128 bit bus, DVI and D-Sub outputs. So same as Ti 4800 but lower clocks, which I would pursuit anyway. It ticks all my wants and needs.
Buuut it has artifacts in all 3D accelerated games, except if textures are tiny, like dxdiag tests. I think its caused by faulty memory because coolkid5629 flashed it with 4800 BIOS to overclock memory without adding heatsinks. Is it bad memory and should I junk the card? Or is there a way to limit its memory, possibly to point where faulty memory is unused
I was also unable to find the original BIOS for the card. A Japanese forum may have it, but they require account to access files and that proved beyond me. Another thread here Re: Need a bios file for a Geforce 4 Ti4200 8x AGP card had one that worked, memory now runs at normal speed, inno3D_Ti4200AGP8X, with single digit mismatch in Device ID (mine: 10DE.0281, inno3d: 10DE.0280) But I don't actually know if ID is correct on mine, it identifies as Ti 4800. If anyone happens to have BIOS for this card, would be greatly appreciated
