Compairison: Geforce 4800 vs 4600

[Kanaz]

I cannot find a single benchmark on the difference between the geforce4 ti4800 vs the 4600 vs the 4200. Could someone please tell me what the differeneces are.

The Ti4800 is a Ti4600 with 8xAGP
The Ti4800SE is a Ti4400 with 8xAGP

Since 8xAGP offers no real benefit in gaming speed, there is no reason to choose a 4800 over a 4600, or vice versa.

Just remember that if it is a 4800SE, it's running at slower clocks than a Ti4600...

Flat done. There is no benefit in getting the 4800 cards. However if you have an 8x board then you may wanna get an 8x card.

The GF4 TI4800 is better than a ti4200 though...correct?

Yes, just as a Ti4400 is better than a Ti4200

I know you were asking about the 4xxx series, and I know you were probably looking for some help on them, so don't flame me, but have you thought about looking at ati's latest offerings? A 9500Pro can be found cheaper than a 4800, and it offers dx9. Of course, you may not want an ati card (for whatever reason) and that would be the last of that.

Sarge is right, man.

Go with a 4200 with 8x agp. If you want to pay a little more you can get a 5800 (non-ultra), (this is if you want a GeForce).

ATI makes good cards- but I prefer Nvidia because I have an Nvidia based motherboard- but that's my opinion.

If you need a GeForce Ti get the Abit Siluro Geforce4 Ti4200 64MB for $89 on <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=siluro+ti4200" target="_new">Newegg</A> (note that the Ti4200 128MB cards on the page are listed as "refurbished", but the Ti4200 64MB is not, it's new). It's a steal.

[phial]

why would you go for a 4200 with 8x if the 4600 is faster?

IMHO the whole Ti series are all close enough in performance to each other that I can't think of a good reason not to get the 4200 unless you wanna step up to a Radeon 9500.

But that's just what I think.

exactly. and most 4200s can be overclocked to almost 4600 speeds. not quite with the ram, but the core usually can be

I benchmarked the TI4200 vs the TI4800SE (I didn't know it was SE until later) I used 3DMark2003, on the TI4200 both the 2nd and 3rd test were unbarable...but on the 4800Se they could be watched (Still sucked, but got like 1 - 2 fps better). I went with the 4800se because it was the same price to me.
