Been looking at the Budget FX 5900 cards, like the CP/EVP XT & SE
versions,
only if they are worth it..

Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 pro is best bang for buck. Nvidia cards are s***e
ATM.

You did but doesn't negate the fact Nvidia cards don't fully support DX9,
nvidia cheats benchmarks, and ATI just perform better for the price. Only
trying to offer info on best bang for buck here. Go ahead and buy the top
range Nvidia card if u like :-) but u did say the word "budget" which leads
me to suspect you want more for your cash than a defunct card which doesn't
fully support DX9.

BTW I too have a leadtek Ti4200 too and will not replace it with any GFX in
the current Nvidia product line. Would have to be an ATI 9X00 pro something
or other.

He's right though.. The 9600xt is the best bang for the buck (at least
by numerous reviews) .. I have the leadtek ti4400 and upgraded to the
sapphire 9800np. Great card and no regrets. i still use the 4400 in
another pc and i still really like it but it doesn't compare to the
ATI in performance or image quality. The newer high end Nvidia cards
are just way too expensive for my taste when you can get a 9800pro for
$300.
Unless you are itching to get a new card right now, i would wait a few
months and see what NVidia does. There is nothing wrong with your
4200 and it still plays games well and should tide you over until
then.

Get a 5900 or a 5700 Ultra.

Others I talked to on here say the 5900 models are faster than the 5700
Ultra models. And if they are they kick ass.

There is less than a 1000 point difference in 3Dmark2001se from the
5900(lower score) to the 9800pro(higher score)

In Quake 3 the 5900 beat the 9800Pro.
You can't cheat benchmarks on a game!!!
