[Starfox]

What is the best bang for the buck for 100$

or should i get a 8500 or 4200?

 

[JammingJay]

Ti4200 is slightly faster, 10-15%

 

[Evdawg]

go with a 4200, can you get a 128mb version for 100?

 

[modedepe]

ti4200>8500

And yes, you can find 128mb ti4200's for $100 or less.

Exactly. Maybe even a bit more when overclocked.

4200

 

[Rage187]

you can get a 128mb 4600 for $100 on the anandtech fs/ft forums

 

[Vette73]

try and get a cheap 9600

Will have DX9 support and most overclok close to Pro speeds

 

[xSkyDrAx]

ti4200 would be probably your best bet.

I will sell you my MSI TI4400 128MB that can overclock to ti4600+ speeds for $105 Shipped.

I?ll make a case for a 9600.

These ? ?deals? ?are great, but not available to everyone, so most people will have to go by retail; prices. 4200 is faster than a 9600 but no hugely so and the cheaper 4200?s don?t overclcok well, an advantage on the 9600?s side.

Going by Newegg retail prices, a good 128MB 4200 costs about $140. (I?d buy a 9600pro before one of these.) The models under that come with TSOP memory which likely won?t overclock hardly at all. The 2 cheaper 4200s listed

VGA PALIT GF4 Ti4200 128MB ? ? ? ? ? $100 ? looks like apiece of junk.
VGA CHAINTECH A-GX20 TI-4200 128MB ? $119 ?TSOP memory.

A Sapphire 9600 128MB is $115 at Newegg. I think it has either 4.0 or 3.6ns memory. In the rage3d
Review the Sapphire 9600 overclocked to 450/250 ? from 325/200 --- (almost pro speeds in 3Dmark3).
