Although I remember hearing this some time ago, the Creative website still lists their GF4Ti4400- and GF4Ti4600-based cards.

digitalwanderer is an unknown quantity at this point

But...

..I could have swore I just read something about Creative being the exclusive retailers for a bit with the GF FX in UK? Something about nVidia limiting FX GPUs to distributors who were building enough nForce2 chipset boards?

Guilty confession

Me very first "real" 3d accelerated card was a Diamond Stealth Turbo S220, & I thought it was the bee's nuts.
