Which would you use-9700pro or ti4600?

[mangled]

If you had your choice of a Geforce 4 ti4600 or Radeon 9700 pro to use in your system, which would you choose? Cost is not a consideration.

I play mostly fps, and certainly want to be ready for Half Life 2 to look it's best.

Thanks.

ok a radeon 9700 pro is anytime faster than the TI4600.
with AA and AF on,
the card is still going to be superb, but I doubt the Ti4600 is going to be very smooth with the same 9700pro settings.

Are you kidding me? I hope this is a joke of a question.

The 9700pro eats it for breakfast and craps it out after dinner.

The 9700pro eats it for breakfast and craps it out after dinner.

Or in your case, drinks it with toast and pees it out during between lecture breaks at the student union.

This isn't even a question, but why are you talking last years cards if cost is not a consideration?

9700 pro

9700 pro all the way

You could possibly look at some benchmarks or at least some tech specs before asking such a question...

The 9700 pro has the Ti4600 for dinner with a nice chianti.

Thanks for the help with my question.

The Ti4600 is FAR better. I'll trade a Ti4600 for your 9700 Pro, and I'll throw in $5 to boot.

My TnT2 Ultra is much more powerful than either of the cards. I'll trade it with $10 on top.

Dude you need to read my poll regarding nationalism and graphics card purchases. Why can't you simply admit that the 9700 is a vastly superior piece of technology compared to the Ti4600? I mean, come on...maybe the Nvidia card outperforms it in 1 out of 10 tests...

*EDIT*...AND it annihilates the so-so-'def' 5800.

Dude, you need to graduate the 6th grade and understand what I am posting. I am your friend though, so I will help you:

Rogo owns a coffee shop, so I took his crude metaphor and put it in coffee terms. Note I didn't disagree with it, the 9700Pro is a different, newer generation of cards that clearly represented several big leaps forward in video card technology..

This isn't even a question, but why are you talking last years cards if cost is not a consideration?

Here, I'm asking why someone who doesn't care about the money is only considering last year's cards when considerably faster cards are now available.


Does this help you Jiffy? I can probably break it down more if you're still having trouble.

My mistake, this was quoting Sick Beast, the other gorilla iconed nVidia naysayer.

I think he meant that cost was no consideration for those particular 2 cards. (note that they are at different price points in relation to each other)

My Matrox Millinium II has FAR superior 2D than either of those, so it must be the better card, ill give you $20 on the side and pay the shipping for your radeon

not to be a smartass, but it doesen't. also, no 400mhz ramdac on it

Radeon 9700 pro

 

[TheAudit]

The 9700 Pro would be much better in any situation. Go for that if money is no object. A 4600 TI would probably still cost as much as a 9600 PRO today anyway.

 

[mangled]

The reason I was asking and the reason price was not a consideration, is because I have access to both cards at no cost. I was asking if you could use either one, which would you use. Since I got many answers, minus the ones trying to be funny, I now know which one is the way to go.

However given that Half Life 2 may now be delayed until April 2004 because of the source code leak, it doesn't even matter that much. I'll probably just put the 9700 Pro in for now and wait until April to buy whatever ATI has out then.

Nice.

I would be interested in debating the 9700/5800 issue, however it would more than likely be a case of kicking the proverbial dead horse. What kind of graphics card are you running now, anyway?

I'm surprised that you can't see the hypocracy in Nvidia's recent business practices.
