Big Little Sister - The GeForce4 Ti4200

FSAA Benchmarks

All NVIDIA GeForce4 cards, both of the MX and the Ti lines, possess new hardware functions that allow for much higher performance when using anti aliasing. The new 6x mode for Direct 3D is only available for these cards, as well.

In Quake 3, the GeForce4 Ti4600 using 2xFsaa or Quincunx is approximately as fast as a GeForce3 Ti500 in normal mode, i.e., without anti aliasing enabled! The Ti4200 can still reach GeForce3 Ti200 levels. Max Payne offered a similar picture.

If you're looking for maximum FSAA power, then no other card can hold a candle to the GeForce4 Ti series. FSAA is a very memory intensive task. Therefore "simulating" a 64 MB Ti4200 card with the 128 MB card at hand by increasing its clock speed would not yield realistic results.
