Radeon 8500LE, 9200 and TI4200 - Which is better card?

[Tanker135]

Hi I am looking for the best bang for the buck for my son computer. Which of above card would give the best image quality in text and 2D? He does play some games like star craft, bionucle, Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring. My wife also uses this computer for her school. The difference price between these cards are about $10-15. Thanks in advance.

8500LE for 2d quality, second in 3d performance. 4200Ti for the best 3d performance.

If your son plays 3d games at all, the Ti4200 would be the best choice. The 2D quality on the Ti4200's is also fine. At least on the 3 that I am currently running. Spend the extra $10-15, at least I would.
