Review : Asus V8420 Deluxe GeForce 4 Ti 4200

The Asus V8420 Deluxe is a bit of a paradox at first glance. It could be assumed that this is a budget package. After all, it does contain a card built on the NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 chipset, technically the "low man on the totem pole" of the three cards in the GF4 Titanium series. A closer examination reveals that Asus didn't just give you any board based on the Ti 4200 but a faster and more powerful version than most competitors. Then they threw together a bundle unmatched by most other companies. You want games? How about two full versions of popular titles, plus another CD with 6 demos. What about output options? Asus includes a breakout box for video in and out that could be used for connection to a television and a splitter cable to use the DVI port for a second VGA monitor. As if all this wasn't enough, you also get a set of stereoscopic glasses to make your gaming experience complete.
