TI 4600 vs. FX5700 which one is better?

[spooky617]

I have had the TI 4600 by Visiontek for some time now ( around 2 years ), I have been looking to upgrade, however I am having some trouble deciding. Is the FX5700 by Leadtek any better then my TI4600?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

with AA and AF, the 5700 might be better (and of course in DX 9)

overall, with no eyecandy, the 4600 (in DX8)

IMHO the upgrade wouldn't be worth it, hold out with your 4600 a lil while's longer, I know I am with my R8500

Go to the $170 5900XT, they basically replaced the 5700U.

Agreed, the fx5700 isn't fast enough to warrant an upgrade from your 4600.

The 5700 overall would be better, but not even close to a big enough improvement to warrant an upgrade.

fx is sure better but if you want to upgrade think nothing less than 256mb fx 5900u or 128mb radeon 9800pro.

Don't bother with the 5700 Ultra, let alone the regular 5700.

256mb?? what are you saying???

A 4600 is still plenty fast to not need to upgrade, sit on your hands for a while longer, it is tempting to go and spend money but not worth it in the long run.

not worth the upgrade.
go to at least a 5900 from a Ti4600... which is still a decent video card.
plenty of people around are still happy with 4200's and your 4600 is faster, so...

do the math
