Geforce FX 5200/ultra vs. Geforce4 ti4200 ?

[Soulkeeper]

how do these two cards compare performance wise ??
anyone know how much mem bandwidth the 5200 and 5200 ultra have ??


ps
sorry for all the question

my god man, put these all in the same thread.

performance i about equal i would say, 5600 U maybe better with AA and FSAA on

The Ti4200 is usually faster than the fx5200, fx5200 ultra, fx5600 and sometimes the fx5600 ultra. I know this for a fact because I've owned all of them, my Ti4200 is overclocked to Ti4400 speeds and it's performance is excellent for the price I paid for it.

The only time the fx5600/5600 ultra is much faster than the ti4200 is with aa/af enabled.

Yup. 5600 U ia about the same (actually a tad slower) than the ti4200 with AA/AF off, but once you turn it on, you take much less of a performance hit with the 5600U. Anandtech did a benchmark on all this a little while back - go look through the video section.

Performance comparison. I'd probably go with a 4200 for brute speed (which is important, as the card is getting old, so turning on AA + AF may not be an option for smooth framerates).
