What's faster? Golden Sample Ti200 or Radeon 9100?

Hi.

I am building another system with some left over parts and I need a video card for it. I was going to get a 9500 for my main system and move my Gainward/Cardexpert Golden Sample Ti200 over to the "new" system. But I decided against it since the 9700 will drop in price once the new ATI chips come out.

Anyway, I needed a card in the meantime so I ordered a Sapphire Radeon 9100 128MB OEM. I was wondering if this was faster than the card I have currently in my main system (Ti200)? If it is, I'll move my Ti200 over. If not I'll put the 9100 in the new system.

BTW, when I say new system, it does not mean it's better than my main system. It's basically the computer that is being build with my old parts. Everytime I upgrade, I move parts down the line so each computer gets "upgraded".

The 9100 is a better card in nearly all aspects.

Here's a roundup of a few budget cards, including the GeForce3 Ti200 and the Radeon 8500LE (which should perform very similar to a Radeon 9100). The Radeon 8500LE beat the Ti200 in all 12 benchmarks.

You can easily OC that Ti200 to Ti500 speeds. I like the GF3 better, less problems with some older games.

My Ti200 is overlocked to Ti500 speeds. In that regard, should I still keep the Ti200 in my primary system?
