Abit Ti4200
my mate is considering buying a 64Mb ABIT Siluro GeForce 4 Ti4200-OTES TV Out/DVI/Dual is this card any good or should he buy the 8 X agp 128mb version only problem is his Mobo is 4 x agp ... any feedback would be welcome or should he buy a Radeon 9500 pro ??
forgot to add his current card is a g3 ti 500 ... how much of a differance would it make to his gaming experience ??

If he's really a mate, see if ya can't steer him to a 9500 Pro instead. They should be about the same in cost if it's a deal, and it's a HELL of a card. As for how much of a bump it is, give me a couple days and I'll give you the numbers. I got a GF4 ti4200 coming in with a PC I bought for a friend and it wouldn't take nothing to pop it in Bubbles and compare it to me GF3. (Like I wasn't planning on it anyways.  ) |

You're right mate! It's an excellent card, the only negative is that it's a bit on the noisy side. Here's a review  |

Well the 9500 Pro is an excellent card, and altho it's 'claimed' to be a Ti4200 killer, the results I get with it are comparable to the Ti4600, plus it has DX9 support for future, I myself was considering the Ti4200 but this 9500 pro has won me over, if you can push upto the 9500 pro he won't regret it.  |

Nice, but...
...the 9500 Pro is faster, plus it'll absolutely SLAUGHTER that card with aniso & AA going. You can actually PLAY games at 4xAA & 8xAF on the 9500 Pro, I've yet to see ANY nVidia card do that. |
