'The GeForce 4 Ti outperformed the older GeForce 3 by a significant but modest margin.'

Umm, what? Surely significant and modest can't be used together like that... ?

"Known Problems"

I can attest that one of 3 GeForce 4 cards, my Ti 4200 and one of the two Ti 4600 cards had fans that completely failed. On the 4200, I replaced the cooler with an identical, previously used one, and the 4600's cooler was replaced with an aftermarket ThermalTake Crystal Orb.

I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but I figured it could be useful to someone, and it at least helps to verify the information in that section of the article itself. 71.201.59.110 05:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've found that basically every single fan on video cards from those days died. Cards as new as a 6800 have fans die. You can get a lot more life out of them by pulling off the sticker on one side and oiling the bearing. The fans are just cheap junk. Newer cards with 60-80mm fans I think will have better longevity cuz they simply look a lot higher quality than those coolers of yesteryear, but who knows.--Swaaye 22:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RAMDAC

The GeForce4 had a 350 MHz RAMDAC, I think.

Dual 350 MHz RAMDACs actually. One for each of the two monitor hookups. Older cards typically had an internal RAMDAC and another separate RAMDAC chip for the 2nd monitor (if multimon was even supported). GF4 had two integrated. --Swaaye 22:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
