Jumping the gun folks
The nvidia 4xxx series cards were fine cards for the current games of
today I still do not understand the mentality of purchasing a 5xxx card to replace a 4600 etc.. when there are no DX9 games, and now the first real DX9 that appears on the scene runs dogslow on the 400 dollar 5xxx cards. Next time guys wait till the software appears before buying the hardware. Those who waited now get to see which card really runs the next gen games. |

I have a Ti4200 and I'll bet it plays HL2 just fine. When either the FX6000 or 9900 Pro drop below $150US, I'll consider buying one of them. TMC |

However, the guys upgrading from a GF2 or GF3 are in a different boat. I held onto a TNT2 Ultra before upgrading to a GF4 last year. There's no way I would have wanted to wait any longer. |
