Does anyone know where I can find a decent comparision chart for the performace of certain graphics cards?

I'd like to compare the Geforce4 MX440s and Geforce Ti 4200 / 4600 to the Radeon family - 8500, 9000 and 9700.

Does anyone know why the 9000 Pro 128mb is so much cheaper than all the others? Is it better than the 8500 64mb or not? Thanks :D
 
Radeon 9700 Pro - the uber card atm (and according to this link, Nvidia's new GF FX wont change that)

radeon 9000 - no idea

Radeon 8500 - its the 2nd worst of the once you listed there

GF4 ti4600 - the 2nd best card atm

GF4 ti 4200 - the best one in price/quality comparison , as its very cheap yet very good. there are also models out where you can overclock em like a dream so you can get em even faster too.

GF 4 MX - as good as a GF3 afaik... not worth the money really (and you might get a 4200 for slightly more money anyway)

Thanks for the info Moe :D confirms pretty much what I thought already, knew the 9700 was the uber card anyway :D

I'm running an 8500 atm and looking at upgrading to either a 9000 or ti 4200, but will possibly stretch to a 9700 if its not too much to upgrade :D

ti4200 does look good value for money but I am interested in comparing it to the 9000 - anyone got any good info on this card inparticular when compared tot he others? It just seems to cheap for what it is lolol :rolleyes:
 
So how does it compare to the 8500? Is it much better?

I've heard the 8500 is actually more powerful but wasnt sure :D

Fuck it the 9700 looks so good I might just go for that :D
 
if youre going for a 4200 you might want to make sure its one that supports AGP x8 (I think the new models do that).

if youre going for a radeon 9700 you might want to make sure you get me one too :D *cough* [size=0.5]you pay of course[/size]

MX440 < R9000 < R8500 < 4200 < 4600 < R9700

if yer oc'ing, both the GF4's will off you similar core high's (just get a good make). 4600 will get better memory however, simply because it has better memory put in.

i heard you talking about getting the R9700 anyway in chat, so blah. mr. moneybags

Should be somewhere around £258/$406.
