I have an MSI ti4200 (TD8X64) and it's very nice. The red color matches my KT4V-L perfectly, the cooling's decent, and the 3.6ns RAM can go up to 620 without any huge problems. Plus it came with a bundle of three fairly nice games. MSI cards have a reputation for quality.

How's the fan noice though? On the MSI? I have the MSI KT4VL MB too, and I thought with the AGP card being red too, that that would be too much red, but hey, it's a lot better than this eVGA...there's tons of little red dots all over my screen right now...:?

If this isn't the shit, then I honestly don't know what is.

As for the fan noise... it's not the quietest card out there, but by no means the loudest. I did notice an increase in comp volume, but that's most likely because I have a quiet CPU fan and because I keep the case open. No problems in the noise department, really.

Yes, thank you. I was curious about that.

Day of Defeat is Half-Life.. no one would dare market a Q1 engine game anymore, not even one as crappy as DoD.
