| 125133 | 2003-03-02 22:35:00 | Hello, I am currently looking into upgrading to a good gaming computer but at a mid-range price. I have read a number of reviews on these two kinds of graphics cards and myself find that the radeon seems to be better than the GeForce? I am looking at buying either a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR or the Radeon 9500 Pro. Could anyone please give me some advice on which graphics card would be the best for me to use? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you very much... |

I would personally buy a Radeon 9700 Pro if I could had the chance. Running a GeForce 4 Ti4400 now, and have no regrets whatsoever. The Ti4200 is generally much more friendly for over-clocking and can give top results when done so. Much more "bang for your buck" Lo. |

| 125136 | 2003-03-03 04:45:00 | The GeForce4 Ti probably hits the price/performance sweetspot a little better that the Raedon 9700. This is probably a result of the diverse range of video board manufacturers producing NVidia based boards. At the end of the day you're not going to notice the difference between 110fps and 115fps. At the high end you are limited by other things, such as processor, memory and hard disk speed. I rate the support NVidia offers. They supply a single driver for all boards and also offer a Linux kernel plugin for enhanced Linux 3d graphics if you happen down that road. |
