ati 9500 pro vs gf4 ti 4400

[substance12]

how do each of these stack against one another? my friend has been having frame rate problems (everquest) with his gf4 and I'm thinking it's either RAM or vcard. Last I played half a year ago I had no problems with my 9500 pro.

Doesn't this question come up every other day?
Without AA/AF; they're about the same.
Crank up the AA/AF; the 9500 is much faster.

umm ill 100% dissagree... 9500pro is 10% slower than 9700pro in MOST benchmarks... how much faster is the 9700pro from a 4600? a crap load.

thanks for the replies. I was basically trying to narrow down the problems my friend was having. I basically wanted to know if the 2 video cards were roughly on the same order.

How much ram does your friend have? I believe everquest is a pretty memory hungry game, so that could be a problem.

With a 9700 once again its main strengths over a 4600 come at high res and with aa and af enabled. Also, a 9500 pro is more than 10% slower than a 9700 pro, it's maybe 10% slower than a 9700np. I'd point you to the benchmarks that were linked earlier that show some of this.

512 rambus on a dell p4 1.4 i think. his system overheats at times too. and it's not overclocked. i duno, i think it's time to get a new cpu/mb.

Evdawg: Have you ever looked at a benchmark? There's only about 10,000 on the internet between the GF4 series and Radeon 9500/9600. No AA/AF, they're the same, or the GF4 is faster depending on clock speed. AA/AF, Radeon pulls away. That's pretty much common knowledge to anyone who has a clue....
