The Test
As we've already shown, the Radeon 9700 Pro is noticeably faster than anything else that's currently available; thus we limited our comparison to the GeForce4 Ti 4600 alone.
Because of its close proximity in price, we wanted to include the Matrox Parhelia however with the latest build of UT2003 and the latest Parhelia drivers we could not get our benchmarks to complete. Seeing as how the majority of our benchmark suite depends on UT2003, we had to exclude the Parhelia from this comparison.

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.
