Hi
I would like to know what Radeon card would be the approximate performance
equivalent of a GeForce 4 card (I think there are several GF4 card versions
so let's say the lowest GF4).
Thanks!

Maybe a 9600 Pro, except when you start playing DirectX 9 games, then
the 9600 Pro is a good deal faster. Playing an older game the Ti4200
sometimes is a little faster than the 9600. The GeForce 4 series
doesn't have DirectX 9 stuff in hardware as the 9600 cards do.

A full Radeon 8500 128Mb is about the equivalent of a Ti4200. The Ti4200 is
a bit faster in OpenGL type acceleration. They're both DX8.1 cards. They
both have 4 pipelines and 2 TMU per pipeline. I briefly had a Geforce4
Ti4600 card and it was faster overall than my old 8500 128Mb. The Radeon
produced a nicer images in 2D and 3D in my opinion, so I stayed with it
until my 9800 Pro 128Mb card.
 
Thanks for your detailled answer!
