Upgrade from Geforce 4 TI 4200. What to buy?

[Fedele]

I own a Geforce 4 TI 4200. what do you guys suggest I should buy next with a $200.00 budget? and what site do you recommend to buy it from online?

At $200 you can get a 9700 non pro. The 9600XT will also be $199 and they say it will be faster, but I don't see how that is possible with only 4 pipelines. We will have to see when the reviews come in.

i would wait a bit until the price drops a bit for the radeon XT series or wat every it is.

get the non pro and tweak it to a pro

If you're talking about the 9600, you do NOT want the non pro. It will never reach Pro speeds.

Really?? is the 9600 in the $200 budget???


and what about the site where I should buy it??


:afro:

Sapphire 9600 Pro $150

https://www.newegg.com

Or a 9700 non pro. The 9700 will be faster.

I wouldnt go for 9600 to be honest (unless you wait untill XT comes out), thats why i would suggest 9700.

If you can squeeze out just a little more $$ (eg. wait a little bit), i would go for 9700 pro.

How much more do I need?...$250?

[Soulburner]

For $250 you can get a 9700 Pro.....for $200 you can get a non pro.

Yah, cheers to the 9700Pro, Ati really flubbed up on the 9600 Pro and only giving it 4 pipelines. The 9700 Pro is a little harder to find, as they dont make the 9700 series anymore, but it's not impossible. They are a suberb card for the price, def a good investment. Good luck getting one, : peace2: Mista K6

Anyone know if the 9600XT will be DX9 like it's big brother the 9800XT?

[dude281]

The Radeons have supported DX9 since the 9500.

All right, well COOL! Haha, cause I haven't really followed the Radeons till the 5900 basically got it's ass kicked by the 9800. A Shame... "Damn you Nvidia!"
