What is better?
NVIDIA Ti 4200 64mb or GF 5600 128MB?
Have had a look on Toms Hardware and its a bit of a lottery as to which is better. Obviously the 5600 is dx9 compatable but the 4200 comes out better frame rate wise on some of the tests.
Basically I have both cards - the 5600 bought to fit in a pc for my uncle but its only a pIII 800 and gonna be used for flight sims for games and office. I thought perhaps give him my older card the Ti4200 and keep the 5600 for me but not sure as the 4200 has video in and out which the 5600 hasn't plus the 4200 is supposed to be a very good cards and I do like it a lot.
What would you keep and put in the pIII pc?

I would go for a ATi based card, depending on buget somthing like a 9600 or 9800. They come in various typres Std/Pro or XT. I used a Sapphire 128MB 9600XT FireBlade Edition.
These are All DX9 compatable and usually beat out the Nvidia based cards on most bench marks.
You can get these from www.overclock.co.uk
Other stores worth trying are www.overclockers.co.uk & www.cclcomputers.biz
hope this helps
