Visiontek Redesign

[Wizard]

Visiontek has decided to go ahead and change the capacitors on their cards to ensure the Ti4600 will fit with ALL motherboards.

The pictures say a thousand words:

I don't know why they should, it's the motherboard makers that are out of spec, not Visiontek.

Exactly.

I think that the thing that happened is that Visiontek realized that by making the cards with the larger capacitors they would be missing out on a fairly large market all their competitors were betting on. It's good business for Visiontek to make video cards that work with motherboards made supposedly "out of spec"

On the whole "out of spec" thing. Motherboard makers are not required to stay "in spec" only when they claim to be "in spec" is it necessary to do so. EPoX never claimed that the 8KHA+ was AGP2.0 complient, personally I think EPoX went out of it's way with the comments it has made and the way it wants to help consumers. Legally it didn't have to do anything, and there is no lawsuit that would have stood in court that anyone could bring against it.
