"ATI or Nvidia"

Well it has come to this I'm looking at a Geforce 4ti 4200 128mb, a Geforce 4ti 4800 and a ATI radeon 9500 and 9700, the latter i have heard are more powerful than all the Geforce 4's and have seen that it can handle FSAA alot better than the Geforce 4's.
But also i have heard of some problems with some games using an ATI plus problems with their drivers..... this is all confusing for me which would you pick?

i can turn it on.... 1024x768/100hz/16bit/FSAA on without lagging :p

nice choice mate, i have the 9700 myself..12,350 3D marks aint too shoddy compared with my 4,500 with my old GF2!

Hmm 9700 it is then.

And overall the ATI's run better than the Geforce 4's.. using FSAA!

I see..... although i could get a Geforce 4 Ti4800, ive read about that the 9500 and 9700 will play future games better than a geforce 4.

There are two, the 9500 only has 4 rendering piplines where as the 9500 Pro has 8, they are both 128-bit but the 9700 and 9700 pro are both 256-bit

according to ati.com..... there's not ATI 9500 but only 9500 pro.

have you gone for 9500 or the 9500 pro?

Yea a ATI Radeon 9500 it is.... cos heard from people it is a one for future games and isnt far off the 9700.

I'd get and ATI, as they tend to give a more warm graphical feel. If that made any sence at all to you I'll be amazed.
