ti4200 vs Radeon 9500NP.. :|

[JeremiahTheGreat]

I had the misfortune of getting a 9500NP 128mb, thinking it was a Pro version. Now, i can't spend anymore money, so either I keep this card, or I can exchange it for a Ti4200 and get some cash back (minus a restock fee). What should I do? Thanks..

i forgot to add, i can overlcok this 9500NP to 350 Core, and 300 Memory. Would the GF4 still be faster?

Run some benchmarks and compare with what others have gotten on a similar system... I think the 4200 would be faster though. If you could get a 9500 Pro, then its a whole other story.

think the Ti4200 will be a little better... but I am not really sure, like AgaBooga said, look (or if you can, try) for some benchmarks.

Isn't there a hack/patch out to make the 9500NP into a 9500 Pro?

The hack makes certain 9500's 9700's.

Useful 9500 info

Yeah, as said before, run some benchmarks, or better yet, play some games and see how well it performs, then play some game with the ti and see if it's better.

Depending on what you paid for the card, a 9500NP should be OK.

I'm aware of that one... but i thought there was a new hack that made the new 9500NP into 9500Pro.

UPDATE - i tried the hack, and i get the famous checkerboarding

I'm going to put myself into even more debt, and buy myself a 9700np... my last video card ever! I'm sick of all this upgrade crap now.. *prays that it will be powerful enought to play his last game ever - half life 2*
