I have a Geforce 4200 Ti 128 card. I got a friend who wants to buy my card since I am looking to upgrade now. I know the FX is releasing soon but the price will be too high for me I am sure at that time.

Question:

Where can I see benchmark scores of the Ti cards compared. Will there be a noticeable difference for my system with the 4600 instead of the 4200? I know that bang for the buck the 4200 wins but I am looking for the best I can get now without going to ATI.

Please if someone knows a link where I can see the marks of the geforce ti cards that would be great. If you all have some advice please let me know. I am ready to buy it now.

TY in advance

Personally, I think upgrading from a Ti4200 to Ti4600 is a waste of money, it's like upgrading from a P4-2.0 to P4-2.4. However, if you wait for the FX to come out, the Ti4600 will drop in price. My advice? Go Radeon 9700 Pro or go home.

Yeah I think you are right. Maybe I should just wait then. Those marks were not too impressive between the two. The 9700 is great but way to much money for me. The same will be said for the FX......its gonna be expensive as hell :(

Hehe ...

My overclocked XP1700+ and Ti4200 scores HIGHER in 3DMark than the Radeon 9500 Pro on a P4 3.06 GHz, and beats the P4 3.06 GHz/Radeon 9700 Pro in UT2K3 @ 1024x768!!!

(But the P4 rig cost $904 more than my XP rig based upon CURRENT pricewatch prices)
