Just finished recapping my Geforce4 Ti 4600 but realized that one of the SMD ceramic capacitors located at C1208 is missing, can someone tell me what value is supposed to go here so I can buy and install it? Thanks.
On my Ti 4600, C1208 is populated by a very small capacitor that is identical to the one at C1207.
The polys look very nice. I replaced the 16 volt 470 caps on mine with standard ones after one of the originals blew up while it was running and scared the heck out of me! Luckily, no harm done to either the card or the motherboard.

This was actually my first time doing any kind of SMD soldering, I found the through-holes on my DFI board to be a much bigger pain in the ass. Do you know where I can buy the same type of capacitor as C1207? These don't seem to have any codes on them at all except for the different colors.
MLCCs are coded by color and size. Here is a video that goes over it, but if I understand it correctly if it is the same color and size, then it is the right one for the application. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6IevounO10
In my case I probably have a dead video card that I would be able to pull one from, but you've determined the size there are many vendors that sell them.

If you'd have posted it in the Video Sub-Forum I'd have seen you earlier. 😉
Your card is the same as the MS-8872.
C1208: 100nF 16V 10% Tolerance 0603 package.
Very jellybean part. Just get any odd 0603 100nF with 16V - it'll work just fine. The card will also pretty likely just work happily without it, if you don't want to go down the rabbit hole of replacing it. It's part of the output filtering for the VTT voltage.

Thanks a lot dude.
