And secondly there exists no Geforce3 MX only GF3 normal and GF3 TI.
 
Third,
 
I would say the GF2 GTS is probably better than the Radeon 7000.
 
Fourthly,
 
If you are a gamer and want to upgrade, get a modern card. GF2 and Radeon 7xxx are becoming ancient relics.

I am asking this because I have a crap load of extra parts, some of which are video cards. I personally have a GeForce 4 Ti. I am building a machine for my brother and just wish to know if the Gf2 is better than the Ati 7000.

I still use some gf2 mx cards for quake3
 
Older ati cards suck, like ati rage128pro ultra. It does only 30fps on a celeron 1.2G (where did the ultra go?), but the best is that you can still buy this card and people who buy it think that they could play games. My old voodoo3 was faster than that.
 
BTW if you wanna know which card is the fastest, put all the cards in a computer one after another and benchmark them with 3dmark or quake3...

Or even play a few of the games your brother does and see how they compare to each other

Radeon:
7000/VE
7200
7500
9000
9200 SE
9000 PRO
9200
9200 PRO
8500/9100
9600 SE
9500
9600
9600 PRO
9500 PRO
9800 SE
9600 XT
9700
9800
9700 PRO
9800 PRO
9800 XT
 
As how the GF line roughly compares:
Geforce 1 = Radeon 7000
Geforce 2 = Radeon 7500
Geforce 3 = Radeon 8500/9100/9000/9200
Geforce 4 Ti4200 = Radeon 9500/9600 PRO
Geforce 4 Ti4400/4600 = Radeon 9700
Geforce FX 5600/5700/5800 = Radeon 9500+
Geforce FX5200 = Radeon 8500/9000/9100/9200
Geforce FX 5900+ = Radeon 9800 PRO

I think this is the most up to date and correct relations:
 
GF FX 5950 Ultra / ATI Radeon 9800XT
GF FX 5900 Ultra / Geforce FX 5950 / ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
GF FX 5900/ GF FX 5800 / GF FX 5800 Ultra /ATi Radeon 9700 Pro / ATI Radeon 9800
GF FX 5600 Ultra (V2)/ ATi Radeon 9600 Pro / 9600XT
GF FX 5200 / ATI Radeon 9200 Pro
 
GF4 Ti4600 / ATi Radeon 9700
GF4 Ti4400 (no longer made) / Ti4800SE / ATi 9500 Pro(no longer made)
GF4 Ti4280 / ATI Radeon 9600
GF4 Ti4200/ ATi Radeon 9500
 
ATI Radeon 9200
ATi 8500 / GF3 Ti500
ATi 8500LE (9100) / Matrox Parhelia / GF3
ATi 9000 pro
GF3 Ti200
ATi 9000
GF4 MX / GF2 GTS/Ti/Pro/Ultra / ATi 7500
SIS Xabre 200/400/600
GF2 MX
ATi 7000

Hi, the Ti4200P Turbo outperforms the FX4600 Ultra by a wide margin, I know cos I've had both and the 4600 is crap in Halo. Now I've a 9800XT and it beats anything else....

This is a silly question, but I am a complete dummy when it comes to video cards. Can anyone help me with this. I have the following system and I need a good video card for it. I need the BEST card the system can take full advantage of. Note that is is in no way a top-notch or super fast system, so I need something that the system can take FULL advantage of
 
Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67 GHz) PALOMINO core CPU
Soyo Dragon PLus K7V mainboard
1GB DDR 2100 (266 MHz) DDR Memory
[Video Card Goes here]
plenty of hard drive space (at least 40 GB free)
SBPCI 512 sound card
 
 
Again, the system is NOT cutting edge in any way, so It is pointless to buy a $250 card (for example).
 
Can anyone kindly help?
 
Please list at least one card Ati and at least one card Nvidia so i can compare betwene them

yes the ti4200 / ti4600 beat out manyh of the low end FX cards - until u start to use alot of AA and FSAA.
 
but that is sad that a last gen cards beats it new counter part!
 
 
for your system about - a 9600XT or PRO or even a ti4200 if u wont play many new game out would do and dont want to spend too much.`

Thanx for the reply Mt. Gov't.
I DO intend on playing new games, at least until ym system can no longer handle them. SO It looks like the 9600XT or Pro.
 
Thanx for the advice and reply. Much appreciated
