Video cards worst to best

[zipp080]

Can someone with an extensive knowledge of video cards give me a good list of worst to best video cards starting with the nvidia ti4200. I am not asking if ATI or Nvidia is better, but rather a list for a buyer like myself to look at it and compare cards to cards. No bias information pls. In the market today I am asuming a nvidia 5900 = ati 9800.

For example

5950 ultra / 9800 XT
5900 / 9800
5700 / 9600
and so on...


Something on the lines of that but much more cards and versions of each card (XT, pro, ultra).

Thanks in advance

Replying helps further our knowledge, without comment leaves us wondering.

I have a radeon 9600xt and it's fast enough to run far cry and any other games. It was recommended on the screensavers television show as the best cost-effective graphics card and i agree. It's fast enough for any game.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the prices for the current top-of-the-line cards now that Nvidia and ATI have released their next generation cards...ATI X800 and GeForce 6800. You should see some real price breaks for the ol' ATI 9800 an GeForce 5900...personally I'm only a fan of the current technology for it effect (price wise) on the recently latest and greatest.

I've been playing with ATI lately (was always a Nvidia fan) and am very impressed with the image and performance of even their lesser cards! For my money I would pick the cheapest of either the ATI or GeForce cards that met or exceeded my requirements. Who knows I might be able to afford that ol' screemer at a real consummer rate

Cheers
