GeForce4TM Ti 4600-8X vs. GeForce4TM Ti 4400-8X

With all the new names for the 8X GeForce4 Ti parts that are finding their name into the market (see our e-GeForce4 Ti 4600-8X Article), its not surprising that lots of people would be interested in how they perform against each other.

First, its best to clear up some confusion surrounding the names of these latest GPUs from NVIDIA.

The GeForce4 Ti 4600-8X is the same part as the GeForce4 Ti 4800, and the GeForce4 Ti 4400-8X is the same part as the GeForce4 Ti 4800SE. You can see how they compare in the table below.

GeForce 4 Ti 4600-8X/4800	GeForce4 Ti 4400-8X/4800SE
300 MHz Core Clock	275 MHz Core Clock
650 MHz Memory Clock (DDR)	550 MHz Memory Clock (DDR)
136 Million Vertices/Sec	125 Million Vertices/Sec
4.8 Billion AA Samples/Sec	4.4 Billion AA Samples/Sec
1.23 Trillion Operations/Sec	1.12 Trillion Operations/Sec
10.4 GB/Sec Bandwidth	8.8 GB/Sec Bandwidth

In order to compare the performance of these two cards, we decided to do a head to head benchmark to see just how well they would perform. For the benchmark, we used the following configuration:

• VIA KT400 Based Motherboard
• 256 MB 333 MHz DDR
• Athlon XP 2100+ CPU
• Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1)
• Version 41.09 NVIDIA WHQL Drivers

So, as you can see from the results, both of these cards are capable of the same high-end agressive graphics power that you have come to expect from NVIDIA, and in fact, neither have lost any of their performance in the transition to 8X AGP.
