Radeon equivalent to GeForce 2 Pro?

[Pug Fugley]

I'm currently using a GeForce2 Pro, just wondering what the equivalent
Radeon chip would be to this old Nvidia chip? Would the 9200 be an upgrade
from the GF2 Pro?

What would be the max you want to spend? Why just go for something that is equal to or just slightly an upgrade to? Do you
frequently like to upgrade, some like to 'be involved' with their rigs on a monthly basis, which is cool, whatever hobby you chose
is your choice. I would for a 9600 and above and The equivalent Nvidia and compare prices and features.

Just a 'slight' upgrade would be fine, my heavy gaming is done on my Xbox
and I've just got a few older PC games I still like to play. The reason I
ask about the 9200 is because it's around $60. If it was a bit of an upgrade
I would do it, but I don't want to spend $200 on a card just to gain a
little bit of speed. I guess I was just thinking that since my GeForce is
around 2 years old and was maybe $175 back then that a slightly better card
would be pretty cheap now. I just haven't kept up with it much.

I've got a nVIDIA GeForce2 GTS and it runs several new games just
fine. I'm playing Dungeon Siege LOA. Unless you decide to spend some
$$ then you can't expect to get frame rates or high scores. Yes. 9200
performs better. (these scores are not Bible but should give you a
general idea.)

GeForce2 GTS/PRO
AquaMark Score: 8528

Radeon 9200
AquaMark Score: 12315

Radeon 9800SE
AquaMark Score: 23519

Radeon 9600XT
AquaMark Score: 36790

Radeon 9800XT
