Are they better than the Fx5600's? As well does the perfomance increase between the ti4600 to the ti4800? If so I think I will pay the extra to get the 4800. Thanks for any input.

The Ti4800SE is a Ti4400 with 8x AGP

The Ti4800 is a Ti4600 with 8x AGP

Both are usually a little better than an FX 5600 with Antialiassing or ansio disabled; both are usually a little worse than a FX 5600 with AA or ansio enabled.

It comes down to cost and what you're looking for.

If you absolutely want DirectX 9 and you use AA & Ansio, get the FX 5600.

If you never use AA & ansio, and don't plan to, save the money and go with the 4800. Chances are it's alot cheaper.

I am thinking about going with the Editors Choice card from Tom's hardware's vga buyers guide. It's an MSI Geforce FX 5600 VDTR 128 I believe. How does that compare to a ti4600 and the like because the benchmarks seemed to have it out performed. I am wanting the best performance card, using nvidia chipset, for under 200 bucks. Any input would be great. Thanks again.
