KG7-Raid and geforce4 ti4200's

[rodeoislander]

Heya,

I have a KG7Raid and a KR7A-Raid here which I am incorporating into systems to sell.

I ordered two Albatron fx5200 EP5200 cards and neither would so much as post with them installed (looong beep followed by two short ones). They would work in an nforce2 board I have here, albeit at fairly abysmal frame rates.

So I'm sending them back to newegg and am thinking of replacing them with ti4200's as I have a 4400 and a 4600 here and they both work fine in either board.

So my question is: do ti4200's play well with the KG7Raid and KR7ARaid boards?

FWIW I had a TI-4200 4x card in my KG7 until last night when I changed the MB to a NF7. It worked just fine...

I have a KG7-Raid with a MSI Ti4200 video card. No problems.

I do remember having troubles with the universal drivers from Nvidia (Detonator 44.12?), but unfortunately I don't recall details. It might have even been an install issue. When I went with the latest drivers from the MSI web site all was good.

Update: I now have two Chainteck ti4200's here. They play together very well indeed.

They are excellent. They bench 100% faster in Q3 than the the fx5200's did on slower processors mounted on older boards, and with half the vram to boot! (64 vs 128mb)

Albeit, they are a bit more expensive ($94 vs $68) but well worth it, imho.
