ATi Radeon 9500 Pro: As much as everyone would like a top-of-the-line card, the reality is most people will probably have to settle for something cheaper. Cheaper doesn't have to mean suck-ass though.

Serious Sam: Second Encounter - Page 4

SS is one of those old school shooters where the goal is to blow away anything that moves. There's some story also, but who cares. We run it in OpenGL mode, and tested the same resolution and AA/AF settings as we did UT2003.

Serious Sam: Second Encounter - No AA, No AF

Serious Sam: Second Encounter - 4xAA, 8xAF

Serious Sam: Second Encounter - 6xAA, 16xAF

Since there's no point in mentioning the 9500 Pro leading the Ti4200 (again), I will point out some things that I feel would be important to gamers. No AA/AF is something the 9500 Pro can handle with ease. Even at 1600 resolution, you're not going to have many problems. Turning on AA and AF is a different story. In my opinion, you're going to be limited at 1024 resolution if you're going to maintain a 60fps pace. Anything higher creates a large decrease in performance. At 1600x1200, there's a 73% drop from No AA/AF to 6xAA, 16xAF.
