I have the Nvidia GeForce TI 4600 with TV out, not sure how similar it may be to your 2 but I love the one I have.

g4 ti 4200 128mb or a ati 9500pro 128mb.]

Quite a hard choice , the speed difference between these two aren't big. Though I'd go for the 9500 , I had a TI4200 installed for a while ( m8 of mine has one ) and with 3dMark my rate where slightly lower.
Hope I helped you out a bit

Both cards are very close in performance level. (hardly noticable). It comes down to your preference and the price.

If you look at Toms Hardware site. You can see a chart that compares many cards here: Toms hardware - Grahics Card Charts (http://www17.tomshardware.com/graphic/20021218/index.html)

If you look you will see that GeForce 4 ti 4200 64MB outperformes the GeForce 4 ti 4200 128MB. That's because the RAM used on the 64MB one is faster.

And you can save some money in the process. :D

Check out MSI. They have a great software package with their cards.

I prefer Nvidia because of their unified drivers. That means that when they come out with a new driver it works for all Nvidia cards.That way the development of the drivers continues well beyond production of a certain model. And they really do work on the development of those drivers.

although the ti4200 is better, in the long run the 9500 pro will be the better choice. Because it has Directx 9 which the ti4200 dosen't

The better card debate will always rage on.

Both cards are close but even if one is better...

In my opinion compatibility is king.

And Nvidia cards are now the most compatible for games.

Trying playing Americas Army or Unreal Championship without one.

Thanx guys :)

Decision has been made...ATI 9500 is the one to go for.

Although the G4 is a great card, it seems to be getting a Spanking from the ATI lol


Cheers again :)

I can overclock my Gainward Golden Sample ti4200 to ti4600 speeds very easily, with no glitches, or overheating. Plus, the gainward GS line comes with a "warrantied overclock" setting, which is very nice. I have the 128 meg version, and I love it.

Ti4600 performance, for the price of a 4200? cant beat it.
