I just upgraded my main computer to a Radeon 9700 Pro. For the second computer I have two cards left over, one of which I'm going to be selling.
The second computer will have these specs:
Athlon XP 1800+
Shuttle A33N400N Mobo
256 MB DDR
WD 40 Gig 7200RPM HDD
and either an ATI Radeon 8500 128MB or a Gainward Ti4200 64MB
The question here is, without overclocking which is the better card for games?? I'm kinda stuck on this one. Thanks.
Hrm, I gotta bad feeling about this thread (ti4200....)
I'd go with the 4200, its prob one of the best DX8 cards out there.
Keep the TI4200.
Could you give me some details on the 8500? Like default clock speeds and the numbers on the RAM chips? Also, is it an AIW(All-in-Wonder)?
omg get the 64mb ti4200 since you ask which is better :eek: :D

Anyways... keep the Ti4200 Nabby, it's the better card.
I Can't compare, never had a 8500, but really no one should know better which you prefer since they are both your cards. no one is better suited to make a performance/quality assessment than you and your subjective opinion based on the computer in which either will run... but yeah go with teh 4200
ROFL!!!!!! :DQuote:

Dare I recommend the 4200? ;)
Well damn, everyone is saying keep the Ti4200. I guess it's always been a better performer but I wanted to make sure I was keeping the right card. Thx all.
