    The Gainward ti4200 128MB is faster but costs around $200. For $25 more you can have a ti4400.
    With the jump to ti4400 you get a cleaner 8 layer PCB and BGA ram which both help to reach higher clockspeeds.

    The Retail ATI 8500 128MB 275/275MHz w 3.6ns BGAram is going for $162 at Newegg.Thats not bad value.
    As far as speed goes,its not far behind a 128Mb ti4200.
