Introduction:

Nvidia's current line of GeForce4 Titanium video cards aim to offer an ideal, fast video card solution to fill the gap between the mainstream sub-$100 video card market and the ultra-high-end market currently catered by Nvidia's main competitor ATI. While the GeForce4 Titanium series has enjoyed its reigning seat for a good time, it is now time for them to secede their superiority to the ATI Radeon 9700.

Today, we will look at the 128MB MSI G4TI4200-TP. Let's find out why MSI's GeForce4 Ti4200 offers an unbeatable price to performance and value ratio.
