the 9700 better than the GF 4 on both high and low res...they did a research rush to get it out before the new line of nvidia products (thats what generation it will be most comparable to) hopefully they are not releasing it prematurely...also ATIs main problem isn't their hardware it's there drivers... if ati and nvidia made identical cards the nvidia would be faster because nvidia has much faster drivers... ATI promised to better support th 9700 with better drivers and frequent updates...this thing is such a monster it requires external power supply it cant draw enough power through the AGP slot... I support ATI but I'm in the minority I guess... best site I've found for choosing cards is www.guru3d.com he has all sorts of benchmark charts and really breaks everything down in reviews for an individual card
I ordered an MSI GeForce 4 Ti4400 for $200 on the dot. Comes with No One Lives Forever, Sacrifice, and a bunch of demos. Really cheap for a 4400, but then again, I havent gotten it yet. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->
