If the price is the same, I'd wait. The clock speed of the GF4 Ti 4200 is on-par with the GF3 Ti 500, but with a slightly faster core. The GF3 Ti 200 is hampered by much slower memory.
And no, the 4200 is not like the MX, thank goodness.

Check there for a recent article on the Geforce 4 ti 4200... It performs better than the Geforce 3 ti 500.. And is cheaper!"I hate the art of fighting, but I need to be the king of fighters."

thanks, but in this article they are testing the 128 meg GeForce4 TI 4200. i was planning on buying the 64 meg version.
would there be much of a difference in performance?
also, will this card support direct x 8.1? i got tony hawk 3, and it simply refuses to run on my voodoo3, it needs a dx8.1 compatible card.

Q 1.) Performance should be generally the same, unless they clock the cards differently. Better do some research.
Q 2.) The card is DX8.1 compliant.

The 128MB version is clocked slower. But as said at the end of the Anandtech article (if it's the one i think it is) it's worth getting the 128MB version and overclocking it to the speeds of the 64MB version, which should pose no problem.Originally posted by Allnatural

Does one of them use the BGA memory, or do they both use TSOP packaging?Originally posted by Slougi

Hmm i am not sure which is which, but the ti 4200 uses the regular mem, not like ti 4400 or 4600.
