the 2ghz Athlon is most likely an athlon 3000+ (200/400FSB), while your P4 is a (133/533) FSB......airmac said:That's probably close to true. I think I said that I can't run it super high, but it does fun fine at acceptable resolutions. I can't, however, max out all the settings by any means. It looks fine to play, but Farcry can certainly use all the horsepower of a 9800.. which is about 4x as powerful as my 4200ti.
Thx, I think I got my answer. But really, the game is worth upgradng in my opinion.

In addition not all video cards of the same model are built equal. If you have a bottom of the barrel ti4200(core+mem clock+ram) and he has a much better version of the same card, between the two you could see a significant performance difference. As for the 9800 vs the ti4200, I would say depending on which 9800 you get, you could be looking at a much higher number than 4x...
