GeForce 4 - 4800SE or GeForce FX 5600?

[Zeitgeist]

Which one should I get? Both are around $200.

More info, please. Namely, your PC specs (including monitor) and your game selection.

Basically, 4800SE will be a bit faster w/o AA/AF, and 5600 will be slightly faster with AA+AF.
Here are some benches (4800SE = 4400).
More here (a 4800SE should be 10% faster than a 4200, based on clock speeds).

Just so you know... the Ti4800SE is a Ti4400 with 8X AGP... definately not worth $200. If you're looking for the Ti4600 with 8X AGP, that's named the Ti4800... no SE.

Neither of those cards are any good, especially not worth the 200 dollar price tag. I paid about 150 for my Radeon 9600 Pro, which outperforms the FX5600 in most tests, and the R9500 can still be found for around 170. Go for one of the Radeon cards.

You could also pick up a Radeon 9700, non pro. They are around 220 at Newegg last I checked, and they pretty much crush the 5600s across the board.

I really like my Gainward Ti4800SE (Yes, I know its only a Ti4400 with 8X apg). I got it at Googlegear (bulk) for $158. It has both the standard monitor out as well as DVI (comes with the DVI to strandard adapter too to make it easy to run dual monitors) and has VIVO.

I have mine running at 320 / 640 with the stock cooling that came with it.
