Is the Radeon 9800 better in performance than the Geforce4 4200?

[dcpsoguy]

Alright, the Dell technician just came, and instead of installing a Geforce4 4200, he by mistake installed the Radeon 9800 Pro? How much better in system performance is this card, the Radeon 9800 128 MB Pro, than the Geforce4 4200 64MB card?

Benchmarks would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Huge performance difference, the 9800 PRO card is a $400 card, the 4200 is a sub $100 card.

It's miles worse. I'll swap you my GF4Ti4200 so you don't get a bad experience
