COMMENT - "Scooter War3z is a recent game which is not too demanding and the GeForce4 Ti4600 offers great performance. The GeForce4 Ti4600 delivers playable performance at all resolutions and quality settings. However 39 fps at 1600x1200 using high quality might result in some choppy gameplay so 1280x1024 using high quality settings is recommended."

COMMENT - "Scrapland is a game which is fairly demanding but that doesn't stop the GeForce4 Ti4600 delivering a playable performance upto 1280x1024. Medium Quality does reduce the performance offered by the GeForce4 Ti4600 but it is still playable upto 1024x768. Poor shadow performance comes back to haunt the GeForce4 Ti4600 and it is totally unplayable using high quality."

INNO3D GEFORCE 9800 GTX+

"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

"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."

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?"

XFX GEFORCE 8800 GT

"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."
