Geforce 3 ti500 vs Geforce 4 ti 4200

[kaz]

some dude in q3 today was saying that the ti500 is better and faster then the geforce 4 ti4200?

was something wrong with him or is the ti500 truely faster?

[SilverPriest]

No, the ti-4200 is faster in every way shape and form to my knowledge.
I do not see how it could be otherwise.....
There was something wrong with him.
I think he was on crack ;)

There is a small possibility that you you MAY be able to crank up the res and texture sizes on a scene ( NO AA though - then the Ti4200 would win again :rolleyes: ) to the point where the extra 64MB on the Ti500 would just let it beat out a 64MB Ti4200.....

....so the moral of the story is he's wrong :D

[kaz]

sweet cause he reckons hes tried both a gf4ti4200 and a gf3ti500 on a amp 1800xp and he reckons that the ti500 was faster

and i was like WTF

:D u bs **** :p

Like Silver said the dude was probably on crack - either that or he owns a Ti500 and he's one of those people that cannot accept that there is better hardware than what they have...... There are people like that around........

[Ragnor]

He is a fool...

It's gonna depend on the actual cards themselves.

If you were comparing a 128MB Leatek GF3 Ti500, to a 64MB [insert brand you hate] GF4 Ti4200.

There is something so pleasing about a $500 card beating a card that cost $1000 6 months ago.... :D

If you want a (second, third, forth,..... millionth) opinion averaged, then go to madonion.com, and have a look at the '3D Acelerator Comparison' page in the ORB.

For my rig, Ti500 get's 128%, Ti4200 gets 150% - so the Ti4200 is 17% faster on average than a Ti500.... ;)
