Where would you say my gfx card stands?

[AmishSlayer]

I recently bought a Verto GeForce4 Ti4200 64mb for like $85 brand new.

I'm just wondering where this stands compared to ATI cards. I'm not really sure of it's capabilities just yet and I wouldn't mind more info about it. Thanks.

well i have the same cards right now (128 though) and i think its great. im not sure what the radeon equivilant but im sure HL2 would run good on a ti 4200. cause for me, on bf1942, and ut2k3 i get anywhere from 60-90 fps with highest settings on. i expect you will be able to get the same fps with a setting in between medium and high

The Geforce4 TI series cards are great. Mine runs every game I own with ease.

I'd say Radeon 9200'ish. Probably..

^^LOL! The 9200 is crap. A TI4200 is way better.

Its about 9500'ish, in between a 9500 and 9500 pro. But when you turn up the details its more like the 9200

the 4200 is a good card and i knew the first ones could be over clocked to 4600 levels in some cases, but with some stablity issues.

is your card a SE? also what is your processor speed make and Ram make/size

if you have a 2Ghz comp with some nice 512, it should get about 9000 to 11500 on 3dmark2001SE and will run hl2 with ease

a radeon 9800pro on the same spec gets 16000+, up your cpu too a 3.2ghz and you'll easy get 19000+

Cool. Thanks for the info guys.

Hey guys, check out Kschreck's thread, there is some good info in it on how video cards will be able to handle HL2 and what can be done on them via the engine.
