Oh noes it's like a precursor to the horrid GFFX 5800 dustbuster

It's stupid too because those chips don't even dump that much power.

I just got an Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200 64MB, with a Zalman heatsink and fan. It uses the NV25 chip with 4x AGP (not NV28 with 8x AGP). It was only £4, and I was the only bidder - and it had been relisted because of no bids. (I guess it's not the best Ti4200?!)

I think the last driver is 61.7x, but I am currently using 45.something. (I have tried both). I couldn't get 3DMark2001 to work without it crashing. I tried other games (Quake 2, Quake 3, Might and Magic 6, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Tex Murphy Overseer), and they all worked. But Hexen 2 did not work. Curiously, I can't Redguard to work with any graphics card now - I'm not sure what I've done wrong with this game. BTW, I'm using this Siluro with an Abit KT7A (KT133A).

I ran RivaTuner, and it says that the default core clock is just 100mhz. On the following Wikipedia page, it says that it should be 250. Strange. (The memory clock is correctly stated in RivaTuner as 500mhz).
