Which is Better?

I've got a GeForce 4 Ti4600 on my old system and a GeForce FX 5200 on my new
system.

Which is better? Please take into account Direct X ?compliance.

Ti4600 = Lennox Lewis.
FX5200 = Couldn't punch it's way out of a wet paper bag.

Even though the 5200 is DX9, realistically the combination of the 4600's
DX8 and sheer grunt and your CPU's DX9 emulation will still beat the
5200's DX9 performance into a cocked hat.

Damn, I didn't want to hear that, but thanks. Now I know.

You wouldn't happen to know of somewhere that has benchmarks of the GeForce
Ti4600 Vs. the GeForce FX 5200, would you?

(Been looking at what the GeForce FX 6800 Ultra can do... wow!)

The 4600 POUNDS it! I have one and I bought a 5900U. It was not much better
and worse in a few games like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004. So I returned it
and I'm still happy with my 4600.

If you look at Toms Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html you will see that
the 4600 is twice as fast in most benchmarks.
Screw DX9 for the time being. Sell the 5200 on ebay and keep the 4600 for 6
months.

LOL! Holy Guacamole! It's over 2 times faster!

Looks like I've got some serious hardware switching to do!

Great site, thanks!

The Ti4600 is much faster, but is NOT DX9 capable.

The FX5200 is slowww, but is DX9 capable.

The Ti4600 is most likely faster than the fx5200 even with DX9 apps.

The fx5200 is bog slow period...

uh... you can't tell?


5600 doesn't compare to the Ti4200...

So the 5200Ultra is slower still... the 5200 even much slower.

Most games that can run in DX9 mode also have DX8 modes.... they just
switch back a few shaders to.. PS1.3/1.4 orso.
