Opinions on between a 9500 and ti4200

Bullion · Jan 22, 2003

As the heading says i have to get a new video card. The 4200 is cheaper, but if i got the Raedon 9500 id mod the card to turn it into a 9700 of sorts. So both will be overclocked. The ti is cheaper but it isnt dx9. what do people suggest?? I think the price difference is about $20-$50 aus.

cheers

Itll be going into a athlon 2100 tbred B thatll be overclocked so cpu power isnt really an issue

I would go with the 9500. They have proven to be very nice cards, even without the mod.

I agree with Evnas.

The 9500 has proven to be a good card. Plus, the DX9 support with the 9500 will give it a longer life-span. However, I wouldn't assume that the 9500 mod is going to work. Often, these types of mods do not work, so don't buy a 9500 unless your willing to live with it "as is" if the mod fails.

As for being overclockable, either card would probably do. Though the 9500 would probably require a bios update.

I would grab a 9500 over a Ti4200 as well

Another vote for the 9500. For the price, it's an amazing deal.

I'd have to say with that price difference the 9500 is the one to get.

Yep, I'd got wit 9500, this also comes from nvidia fan

9500 to 9700 mod would be my bet... and this is another Nvidia user who is saying this.

Actually, I like both ATI and Nvidia... hmmm maybe I am an Nvidiati?

I went with the 9500 nonpro and softModded it using RivaTuner.

Overclocked to 351/303 w/ stock cooler.

Got mine to better than 9700 Pro scores for

$159 SHIPPED FROM NEWEGG!!!!

really a nobrainer....fastest video card on the planet for that cheap?!?!?!?!? versus a POS 4200?!?!??!?!
