I currently have a Leadtek A250TD Ultra Geforce4 Ti 4600 Video Card and have been persuaded through the price I can get an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro from work for, to upgrade, only if it will allow me to see some difference in quality/speed. I have always heard that ATI cards supply a better picture quality above Nvidia, is this true on the 9700 vs Ti4600? Especially when hooked up to my Samsung 181T 18.1" LCD through a DVI connector. Also, when I play Unreal Tournament 2K3 on my native resolution (which I would like to run all of my games at) 1280x1024x32 bit with all the settings cranked to high, no AA or AF turned on, I get a choppy frame rate in battles/deathmatches...I would like to be able to eliminate that. Also, as far as DVD playback is concerned, will I see better quality playback on the ATI card?
Now for some questions if I get the card. What drivers are the ones to use? Are there any bugs in the drivers or in certain games (My big games right now are Warcraft III and UT2K3)? Are there any issues with the card itself?
My big question is whether or not the performance difference is going to be enough to be worth the extra 79 bucks I am going to have to pay after I sell my Geforce4. Here are my system specs by the way...
Intel Pentium 4 2.26GHZ
Epox 4G4A+
512MB PC3200 DDR400
Western Digital 80GB x 2 in RAID 0
Thanks for all your help!!!
BTW, will I be able to cut up all of the settings like AA 4X and AF 16X and everything in the above mentioned games at 1280x1024x32? Thanks.
