For the GPUs of video cards, you should use Arctic Alumina. This is the one that is suppose to have no conductivity. Sounds like you shorted your GF3 out by not carefully applying the AS on it. I ran Arctic Silver 1 on a GF3 with no problems but I left a bit of a minor border open on the GPU...
I went with the Visiontek GF4 Ti 4400 for the lifetime warranty and the good quality of their cards. I had a GF3 Ti 500 and before that a GF 3 made by Visiontek and both were great cards.
For me, I doubt I will really bother o/cing my GF4 Ti4400 because in all my benches, I did not see enough of an improvement over the already high scores. Am I really going to notice the difference between 100 fps and 110 with everything maxed? Not really, so why put the extra strain and heat...
I got a newer card I think, or at least a newer box because mine did not list PowerDirector on the side. It probably was just a packaging error as I got the Visiontek cd, PowerDVD and PowerDirector. I looked at some of the pictures of the Ti4600 video encoder, so next time I open my case, I...
I just got a Visiontek Ti4400 and it came with the PowerDirector cd. I wonder if that means the Ti4400 can do Vivo as well or if I just got the odd mispackaged extra cd. I did not get the Vivo dongle in the package but it does seem odd since there are a few other Ti4400 that can do Vivo.
I got my Ti4400 card yesterday. I was probably one of the last people to renew my order. Ended up being $257 with the stupid California sales tax but that is still a little cheaper than the lowest online place from Pricewatch for the Visiontek GF4 Ti4400.
I just called to check on my order status on the 4400 and they said now end of April. Sucks when I was one of the first to order than get screwed on my reorder and have to wait forever.
