I just built my new comp w/ Sapphire Atlantis 9500 Pro.
It was 17x @ mwave.com OEM
Very oustanding card indeed.

How does everybody recommend the GF4 4200 as the best bang for the the buck. It's slightly faster than the ATI 8500/9100, but also costs 50% more.
slighty?? it beats it pretty bad in most of the tests. and it is more stable and thats a fact

sweet rogue1979, i had acutaly assumed that was more the case. however i desided to stick to "facts" to back my arguments and wound up finding benchmarks pointing to the 4200, all of which were rather dated though. it is good to have some real world feedback.

Even a TBird @1333MHz runs modern games (just beat Unreal 2) just fine. With the 9700 Pro there is absolutely no performance hit when running games with aniso filtering and anti-aliasing wide open as opposed to otherwise.

They say that the Radeon drivers are bad. sometimes its unstable, sometimes the image is corrupt....
is it true?
i had ti4600 and sold it when nvidia announced the FX. now, ATI looks apealing, but i'm scared of the driver quality.
can some1 shed some light?
