Thanks Chris for the quick response.

Unfortunately we cannot find a supplier in South Africa that can provide us
with a Ti4600 brand new. We may not replace damaged components with
secondhand components, but must be procured new. Thus we are left with a
decision between a few of the following options, namely:

1.) Leadtek® WinFast A310TD+256 nVidia GeForce FX 5600 (NV31) AGP-8X 256MB
128 bit DDR with TV+DVI+VIVO - Direct X 9.0+, Open GL 1.4

2.) Leadtek® WinFast A300TD nVidia GeForce FX 5800 (NV30) AGP-8X 128MB 128
bit DDR with TV+DVI - Direct X 9.0+, Open GL 1.4 (but this has no ViVO)

3.) Leadtek® WinFast A350TDH nVidia GeForce FX 5900 (NV35) AGP-8X 128MB 128
bit DDR -TV+DVI+Hareware Monitor+VIVO, Direct X 9.0

The insured wants to stick to Leadtek WinFast!

Which one of the above would be more or less (more rather than less!) the
same quality than the Ti4600 with VIVO?



Since you have to stick with a LEADTEK.... And your previous card was
a VIVO edition, then you MUST go for the 5900. (Its about $250USD) -
when you bought your Ti4600 NEW, it was about $400USD.

if you look at any reviews, the FX5600 is SLOWER than the GF4-TI4200,
which is already slower than your card.

The 5800 is faster than your card, easily - but doesnt have VIVO...
toss it out.

Its their own stupidity to not allow you to choose another manufacture
to replace the card (which costs $75USD)... Only #3 has the SPEED
and Features that meet or exeed your previous product ON THEIR LIST.
