ATI hasnt got things in the mod range to compete with Nvidia, true their 9700PRO is great on every aspect, but with the price tag and early adoption problems, there still need something like 9500/PRO king of offering for the mid range, to say compete with the TI4200 kind of thing, as the current 9000PRO is not really up to the level of G4 TI level. AFAIK, current TI4200 boards are starting to use the A3 stepping of the G4 TI core, which technically speaking is the same core of the TI4600, just pick some good board and power design offer, and you are in for a bargain TI4600.

I don't really care which new vid card i buy next, after buying my first PC with a diamond stealth 2400 2D card then a S3 GX + 3DFX monster 3D card, to a prolink TNT2 M64 PCI card, any card i buy next will be an improvement by a few hundred fps in any game....i thought when i bought my tnt2 card it was the best thing cuz i could finally play D3D games under win2kxp lol...stupid driver support for 3dfx ended back before win2k was released so i was stuffed....just out of curiousity which card would any of u buy out of a gf4 4200 or a radeon 9000 pro 128mb? knowing the gf4 card is a bit faster but with less features like full directx 8.1 and older pixel shader engine?

My vote goes to the Geforce4 ti4200, but if you wait a bit, you'll be able to get a ti4400 for about the same price.... probably around christmas time when nv30 is released... Pure speculation, of course....

You've got to take what The Inquirer reports with a grain of salt. Not the most reliable source of news....

What is that pounding sound on the webpage of nvidia showing "Are you ready?", 600 lb. gorilla or sound of hay hitting. Have to see, amen....OOH!
