OC'd GF3 (vanilla) vs Ti4200 Real world performance differences???

[codeyf]

I currently have a old skool GF3 running at 250/560. Seems to do the job, but i'm looking at upgrading to a Ti4200. Games I play the most are Counterstrike and Everquest. Obviously CS doesn't stress the GF3. But I think it could help with EQ.

I see how cheap the Ti4200's go for, so am strongly considering the upgrade. What sort of gains will I see? Significant?

Thanks for the input!!

You have a good o/c going on your GF3 card. You'll see some gains with a Ti4200; but those games aren't too taxing. Here's some benchmarks for reference:

Do consider a 128MB card if you do buy. You can sell the GF3 card on ebay for around $80.00 Lot's of Ti4200 choices. Albatron is making a good name; but being a new player, their cards are the best deal to be had. I just bought a Ti4600, nice card, good o/c's. Here's one on newegg:

Of course, you could let temptation get the best of you; for $30.00 more you get a Ti4400 with faster memory...
