Why It Mattered

GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE belongs to the Kelvin and GeForce 4 Series era around 2003, when PC graphics cards varied heavily by bus, memory chips, BIOS, cooler, and display outputs. Tracking the exact model helps retro builders distinguish period-correct boards from similarly named variants.

Board Partner Cards

Board-partner versions of this GPU as they shipped: coolers, factory clocks, box art, and pack-in bundles.

Cooler: Single-slot axial cooler with MSI shroud

Box and Bundle

10 CDs of software and games in the retail box
Five-foot S-Video cable
DVI-I to VGA adapter
9-pin to TV-out breakout connector
MSI case badge

Collector Notes

Period reviews repeatedly singled out the bundle: ten CDs of then-current games and software plus a full cable and adapter kit. Complete boxed examples with the full CD set are the collectible configuration.

Ran at reference GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE clocks; the retail draw was the unusually large software and game bundle rather than factory overclocking. A VIVO-capable sibling (Ti4800SE-VTD8X) added video input.
