Ti4200 or Ti4800 ?

Hey y'all

Is there a big difference between the GF4 Ti4200 and the Ti4800 64Mb version? Theres not that much on price and wondering if its worth gettin the 4800 over the 4200, cheers

which card 2 use

If you have the money.. go for an FX.. but if you just want to get a card.. a TI 4200 or 4600 will be more than sufficient.


will getting a 4800 make a big difference compared to a 4200 ??

i am a big HL fan and need to have a card that will cope with Hl 2 and its mods comfortably at the highest graphic settings altough im not a hardcore gamer i would like to have a nice powerfull card as far as i know the 4200 will do this so would it be worth it getting a 4800 ??

Hmmm ok tanks Abou, preciesly my thinkin! Ive ot a Ti4200 myself and find it more than adequate. The new card is for a m8 ultimately its up to him but i didnt see much advantage myslef.

Cheers

I have a Ti4200 which was overclocked using a utility called Powerstrip. I easily got 4800 speeds out of the Ti4200 no sweat, and saved quite a bit of money

This really depends on what you play. If you value a 10% to 15% increase in 3D performance, the answer is yes, get the Ti4800. I would choose the Ti4800 unless you plan to upgrade for Christmas. The Ti4800 is more than enough for the games to come -HL2, Doom3- (if you don't use AA or AF.)
