I am of the opinion that the nVidia Ti4x00 range have been the best we've had in a while in terms of coping with new games / running old ones at a nice speed, and generally lasting for ages.
Although it looks like the Radeon 9500 Pro / 9600 Pro will fill this "mid-range" gap, the GF4 Ti's were certainly some of the best cards we've had recently.

Quailty.
When the GF4TI were introduced they were amazing though simply enhanced GF3's. The enhancements were significant though ... speed, improved AA, '2D' image quality, standardised TVout and dual display. The slowest 4200 was still decently faster than the top GF3 (GF3TI500) and had bags of o/c'ing room in it (often beating a 4400 which was £100 more) ... the 4200 were half the price of the what GF3TI500 had demanded just a few months before.
With the GF4MX (enahnced GF2) nVidia saturated the markets ... until ATI totally blew them away with the 9700 series which are still VERY comparable to todays top cards from both ATI and nVidia. Too bad ATI discontinued the unprofitable 9500PRO and have mudded their reputation with the awful 9000-9200 and 9600PRO (slightly slower than 9500PRO) and 9800SE (9600PRO speed).
