Radeon 8500le or GeForce4 Ti4400?What is the best ?Maddon

Maddon, The vast majority of folks commenting on Avsim would probably vote for the Nvidia GF4 4400 and I would too. Based on frames per second and antialiasing performance. However, I currently have a Radeon 8500 (not LE) with a P4 2.0, and I have to tell you that I am very satisfied (frame rates locked at 30, smooth performance even at LAX). A recent web site test using the new ATI drivers show that the 8500 is just about on a par with the GF4 4200, but I'm sure the 4400 will outclass the Radeon. On a framerate per second per dollar basis, I suspect the Radeon is the winner. If you do get a Radeon, visit the web site omegacorner.com for better gaming drivers than stock ATI drivers.Richard Ball
