Chaintech A-GT61 GF4 Ti4600 128M Review (1)
Overclocker 18 Apr 2002

Recently Chaintech has been very aggressive promoting their graphics line of products. To date, we have reviewed their A-G321 128MB GF3 Ti200 graphics card and we are pleased with it's performance. Will this new GF4 Ti4600 be able to score another YES in our tests ? 

.

This card looks cool isn't it ? The heatsink is attached to the core and memory on board. The overall package is also very well designed. Two games (AquaNox (3D Shooting), MDK2 (First Person Shooting) are packaged together with the card. First let's take a look at the specifications of this card followed by a gallery and benchmarks comparing this card in non-oc and oc environments using an ASUS A7V333 mainboard.
