I am currently in possesion of two graphics cards.1: A Geforce4 ti-4200 8X-AGP 128mb. 2: A Geforce FX-5200 8X-AGP 128mb. So I wonder wich card is faster, so I can put the fastets card in my best PC? The obvous thing to do would be testing the two cards but I dont have time to do this. Thnx in advance.
 
The gf4 ti4200 is faster

Athlon XP 2800+, ASUS A7N8X-X, 512mb PC2700 DDR
128mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (430/385)
3D Mark03 Score <font color=red>6,316</font color=red>
 
About the only reason to try the FX5200 is to see the Dawn demo. Otherwise the Ti4200 is the faster card.


ABIT IS7, P4 2.6C, 512MB Corsair TwinX PC3200LL, Radeon 9800 Pro, Santa Cruz, TruePower 430watt
 
Well you could also see Rthdribl as a slide show, that's very nice. And the DUSK demo is so much more satisfying. MMmmm EVIL DARK FAIRY! 😎 Fairy Sandwich, maybe with a SandWitch on top! :evil:

But all of those things you could see at a bybercafe for $1 and then have satisfied your suriosity without cutting your performance throat.

I know you were just kidding, but it's funny because I think some people are actually thinking this way for the PS3.0 abilities of the NV4X series.

I can see it now;

Yahoo the NV42 has PS3.0 gotta get that.
*But your old Card will trounce it in actual games!
Yeah but I can I'll be able to SEE those ShaderLEvel 3.0 demos.
*But you can already watch the videos of them now!
True, but <b>I</b> will be running them, not someone else, IDi0t!
