Which would be faster: ti4600 or 6100 IGP socket 754?

[PingSpike]

Assume the ti4600 is doing dx8.1 and the 6100 directx9.

I've got a ti4600 lying around now, and I don't know if I should go with that or just get a cheap 6100 biostar board.

Also, how are the overclocking options on some of the 6100 boards if anyone knows?

youre comparing a PCIE IGP with an AGP card..but anyway, i think the ti4600 will be faster.

Ti4600 will definitely be faster. I have an old pc running a Tbred 2000+ at stock speed with a Radeon 9000 non pro. It is a little faster in games than my brothers' pc running a Sempron64 2600+ and 6100 igp. A Ti4600 would be even quicker, minus DX9 effects, though.

Yep, you'll have to do without the DX9 effects, but apart from that, the Ti4600 is still faster... I highly doubt one of those being an obvious choice for gamers these days, but nonetheless the Ti4600...

Ti4600 will be much much faster.

For comparison, IGP 6150 is latest and greatest from nvidia, and it performs about the same as nvidia FX 5600, or a little slower than Ti500 and ATi 8500/9100..

IGP 6100 compares to FX 5200, or a little worse than nvidia Ti200 and ATi 9000/9200.

ATi (RX200) integrated is usually dedicated x300, which compares to around ATi 8500/9100 and nvidia Ti500.

Even a Ti4200 is better than any of these choices.

3dm2k3 results testing integrated here:
nvidia 6150 = 1600
ATi RX200 = 2100

For overclocking, nothing great with 6100/6150's yet.
Had the gigabyte 6150 up to 280FSB, which is not bad for stock vcore Opteron skt 939.
ATi RX200 though does have board capable of overclocking Opteron 146's to 3000MHz (300x10 here in Jetway A210GDMS PRO, with full vcore, mem dividers/voltage and HTT adjustments).
Don't know how 754 compares to 939 overclocking, but I think high FSB will require more adjustments than current nvidia boards provide.

generally due to the strain on the chipset when the integrated is running, the max overclock (HTT) will be reduced

Didn't the 6150 beat the RX200 in Anandtech's review??

Well, looks like this old ti4600 is still going to have a home here for awhile at least.
