GF 4 Ti4400 vs GFX 5700nu

[ken9]

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but I've been browsing these forums for quite some time now...

Just a question, is the Leadtek A360 TD (GFX 5700 non ultra) faster than a Gainward GF4 TI4400?
I might be getting the 5700 but the price of the GF ti is cheaper...just wondering if there is a big performance difference between the 2...
considering the fx5700 is non-ultra...

thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums. FYI the main Anandtech site has many hardware comparison reviews like this one

A ti4200 or 4400 is still a great card (especially a ti4200 for under $100) but the fx5700 is faster.

However, in the US prices of the fx 5900 non-ultra cards now start at around $180, so instead of buying a 5700 you should buy a 5900 instead.

They run about the same ... I too would go the FX5900 .. infact i did from a Ti4200 and its more then fast enough.

If you dont wanna spend the money then you should buy a Geforce4Ti or ATI9600 Pro or XT

thanks for the replies!

usually I only see benchmarks of the 5700 ultra, not the non-ultra....so I knida don't know where the non-ultra stands...
but actually here in asia, the leadtek a360td (5700) and the a280 td (gf4 ti 4200) are actually priced the same...

so i guess the 5700 is a better option ;-)

and the fx5900nu is double the cost of the 5700nu..

thanks again ;-)

The 5700 is the best card for you then.
The 5900 nu is faster, but not worth double!

A ti4200 or 4400 is still a great card (especially a ti4200 for under $100) but the fx5700 is faster.

so is it safe to assume that the geforce fx5700 non-ultra is faster than a ti4200 and ti4400? how about the ti4600?

We were talking about a 5700 ultra -- for non-ultra you'll need to see how far the graphics / memory clock speeds have been lowered and guess how much slower it will be.

The core speed is rated at 425MHz while the 128bit memory is rated at 550MHz. This is quite a bit slower than the FX5700Ultra which is rated at 475MHz core with 900MHz memory, but it doesn?t seem to hold back the A360TD too much

Is this a big difference? Thanks!!

From those benchmarks the 5700nu is faster than a ti4200 (you can compare it to some of the same benchmarks in the Anandtech budget-card article) so for the same price, get the 5700.

It's hard to tell for the ti400 and ti4600, but if they are priced as high as a 5700 ultra than the ultra is probably a better choice.
