MSI Geforce 4 ti 4200 (64megs) or Hercules Radeon 8500LE (128megs)

Hi
i am gonna buy a graphic card soon
and i am stuck between those two because i live in egypt
so, just tell me which one is better in:
default performance
terms of oc/oc potential
i am planning to keep it atleast 1.5 year

I personally would get the TI4200. ITs a great OCer and will definately last you over 1.5 years.

The 8500le has great potential but is not as powerful as the TI.

4200 definitely, it will last longer, overclock better, and from what I've been hearing it is less problematic than the 8500. Nvidia has better drivers.

if it costs 20$ more go for the Ti4200...if it costs 40$ more then get the 8500

Hercules makes good boards, and the 128MB VRAM will help it in future games. Isn't Doom3 going to *require* 128MB VRAM if you don't want to run on low settings?

ON OLDER GAMES!

On any new game with large textures the 64mb Ti4200 sucks it up. LARGE! The 128mb Radeon 8500LE would be a better purchase. However, I'd go with the Ti4200 128mb to have the best deal. It's not THAT much more.

So getting a Ti 4200 with 128ram would be better then both the 2 rizge said?

yo
That is my oppinion too
but here in egypt i can only find one ti 4200 with 128 mem(abit Siluro) but at a steep price 1100LE (~250$)
i have still 1-2 weeks to go until i get one but my mind isn't clear yet
i mean i think hercules is a highly reputed company and their product are good and so on but i have 2 fears :
1) Some people say Ati drivers suck
2)Nobody seems to have it
Everybody who has 8500le has the 3d prophet 8500LE FDX not the non-fdx(what is the difference between them) and there are no review to the NON-FDX version
