 ASUS V9280
A Case Study of AGP 3.0
(Review by MS, Dec. 9, 2002)

Specs at one Glance
  • GeForce 4 Ti 4200-8X
  • AGP 8X support with 2.1 GB Bandwidth
  • 128 MB 300 MHz BGA DDR memory
  • Copper Fin Cooling solution with memory heatsinks
  • VGA and DVI connectors
  • TV Out, Video-in connector
Advanced Features
  • nVidia nFiniteFX II Engine
  • Accuview Antialiasing
  • nView Display
  • nvidia LightSpeed memory architecture


The heat spreader on the back is not making contact at all with some of the memory chips. Keep in mind, though that most of these chips are running rather cool anyway and also dissipate some of the heat via the BGA contacts.
