ATI 9200np vs.??

[prvteye2003]

What equivalant would the 9200np 64Mb be to its geforce adversary?

geforce3

ti300/ti500?

I would think more along the lines of a GF4 MX 440. The 9200 non-pro is really nothing more than a Radeon 9000 np with 8X AGP support. I've seen a couple of reviews where the 9200 was barely faster than the 9000 np. I think any respectable Geforce 3 would eat the 9200 np for lunch.

Based on its ancestry (i.e. Radeon 9000, re-vamped and scaled down 8500), I'd say a GF3 Ti200 would probably be the closest comparable. In terms of modern cards, say around the level of a really good GF4 MX or a decent 5200 128MB (without AA/AF enabled).

Can't be more exact, since the speeds and quality of those Nvidia cards can vary considerably. For example, I've seen memory bandwith on GF4MXs vary from 6.4 GB/s down to as low 1.3 GB/s (!), and all indications are that the 5200s have similar issues (especially on the crippled 64MB versions). Make sure you stick with a reputable vendor (and 128MB versions) if you go the Nvidia route.

Okay, that's good to know. I just bought one in the fs/t forum for 20 bux. I guess I got a good deal then.

It's a 9000. Which is, as people said, GF3, Ti200, or really good GF4 MX.

It's a great deal for $20. It won't be faster than a Ti200, except with AF, which may be all that matters for that price.

btw, yeah, $20 is a great price, I'd nab it in a second. =P

 

[prvteye2003]

well, i got it. it will be replacing the gf2mx400 in my sons computer. i'm sure he will appreciate it(he's only 10)

It might also depend on what version of the 9200 you want. According to ATI's excellent product comparison, the differences in the three types of 9200's are "fast", "faster", and "fastest"!
