GF FX 5600 Ultra in exchange for GF4 4600
"Marco Gotthardt" wrote in message
... I had to return my Geforce 4 TI 4600 Graphic Card to my Reseller because it had an error, now they told me that the card got lost while sending it to the distributer, now they offer me a GF FX 5600 Ultra in exchange for this, is this a good exchange or should I tell them to get me a GF4 TI 4600 back ? How is the performance difference ? Please help me to decide ! Yep, the 5600 ultra edges out a Ti4600 I think (the flip chip version at least), though just barely (though the difference is greater in AA mode). The important thing is to see how much your retailer charges for the 5600 ultra as opposed to the 4600; I wouldn't let them weasel out of the difference if the 5600 is cheaper. |

I paid 239 Euro about 8 month ago, now it isn`t available
anymore so I cannot compare its price at the moment with the costs of 199 Euro of the FX5600 Ultra. But if the performance is comparable i think its a good deal, right !?!

How is the performance difference ? The GFX 5600U just barely edges out the GF 4600 ins DirectX 8 apps and OpenGL. However in DirectX 9 apps (GunMetal, HL2, Doom3 etc.) the GFX5600U is faster. Make sure you get the revision 2 which is clocked higher (400/800 I think). --- Anders |

Getting a new 5600 ultra in exchange for an 8-month old Ti4600 is definitely worth it in my opinion. Just keep in mind that my judgement is based on what I've seen on benchmark sites; I'm still shopping around for a new card myself so I have no firsthand knowledge. |
