COMMENT - "With both video cards being in the lower price section of the market we first run the games using medium quality settings and at a resolution of 800x600. The Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 has no problem running Doom3 at a playable level and outperforms the Galaxy Zeus 5500 by 38%. Far Cry is a bit more demanding but the Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 still outperforms the Galaxy Zeus 5500 by 31%. Scrapland is a very visually demanding game which uses advanced effects like Shadows and Bloom, this time the Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 could only outperform the Galaxy Zeus 5500 by 16%. Tribes Vengeance is the most demanding game used here and both video cards are in the 30fps region but the Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 is still 25% faster. Warhammer 40K Dawn of War is another game the Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 has no trouble running and it outperforms the Galaxy Zeus 5500 by 16%. Xpand Rally is another good victory for the Inno3D GeForce4 Ti4200 and it outperforms the Galaxy Zeus 5500 by 27%"

"MSI GeForce 9800 GT review also featuring the XFX GeForce 8800 GT. The MSI GeForce 9800 GT has a 10% higher clock speed than the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and 6% higher memory speed. The MSI GeForce 9800 GT and XFX GeForce 8800 GT both have 112 Pixel Shaders."

"The Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ has 16% higher clock speed and 10% higher memory speed than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 however has over six times the pixel shading advantage with 800 Pixel Shaders compared to the Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ 128 Shaders."

"Gainward Radeon HD 4870 review which we are comparing to the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 is a powerful video card with 800 Shaders for amazing gaming performance. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 also features advanced GDDR5 memory running at 3600 Mhz DDR which is 45% faster than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850."

"The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is a pixel shading powerhouse boasting 800 Unified Shaders compared to 320 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 which means that the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 has 60% more shading power. However the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is using powerful GDDR4 memory and the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is using slower GDDR3 memory. Another advantage for the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is the 20% higher GPU speed compared to the Radeon HD 4850."

"The MSI GeForce 9600 GT OC has a 15% higher clock speed than the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and 6% higher memory speed. MSI GeForce 9600 GT OC has a Pixel Shading disadvantage with 43% less Pixel Shaders. How will the disadvantage of the 43% less pixel shaders effect performance?"

"The XFX GeForce 8800 GT has a 23% lower clock speed than the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870, 20% less memory speed and the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is using fast GDDR4 memory while the XFX GeForce 8800 GT is using GDDR3 memory. The XFX GeForce 8800 GT also has a Pixel Shading disadvantage with 65% less Pixel Shaders."
