The two contenders are virtually tied at 1024x768, which is an indication of very solid drivers on NVIDIA's part. The Radeon 9700 Pro manages to extend a 33% lead at 1600x1200 where its memory bandwidth helps tremendously.

With frame rates as high as 173 fps at 1024x768, it's no wonder that the Radeon 9700 can't stretch its wings until we crank up the resolution to around 1600x1200. Even then, the card scores over 110 fps and 43% faster than the Ti 4600.

Continuing the trend of looking back at the good ol' days.Considering inflation (vs 2020), this card launched at something like $550.
I still have one running on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe w/ a Barton @ 2.6GHz

So many great memories from my first PC build. What a great video card! Looks so pedestrian in 2020.
