So i need it because of the new Directx9 thingy recently and San-Andreas of course and there are so many cards from Nvidia and Ati so i dont know what to buy (was screwed 3 years ago when the sell-man tricked me into buying a Geforce2 100\200)
I think i wanna go with ATi this time and because Israel is the land of the thiefs i can only afford buying something in the range of price of Radeon9600pro256mb...supporting articles would be cool.
The key sentence is: "cheaper with less diffrence from the more expansive,newer version."
And another 2 questions:
-what is better when it comes to Ati: Pro or XT or just the usual one?(the one with nothing written nxt to the number)
-a friend told me that a radeon9600 128mb is better than radeon9600 256 mb because of some compression issue or something,any truth in that?
Any useful help will be much MUCH! appriciated!:) |

Well, both pro and xt are pretty good in my opinion. If I'm following you correctly, you're looking for a card that's not too expensive but good and can get the job done. I'd personally say go with the 9800 Pro 128 MB. The 128 and 256 refer to textures... so if you plan to play lots of games that have a high texture count and you want to see all the textures maybe you'll want 256. I haven't personally heard any compression issues and I have a friend that has the 256 model and loves it. But for the money and price, that's what I'd go with.
Here's a good link for you.

geforce fx 6800 gt/radeon x800 pro is your best bang for the buck now
money is no object get the 6800 ultra or radeon x800 xt
best card for under 200 should be the 9800pro/xt |

| The pc shop i work for had serious issues w/ lots of sapphire 9500/9600 cards not POSTing. We stoped carrying that crap and now sell power color instead. I would save your money. You will see a huge difference in a 9800pro or better tahn you will in a 9600. just save your cash. im sure the 9800pro/xt will drop in price even more. |

I've read great things about it and i know it performs well. I'd say if that's in your price range, go with that. |

What about Gigabyte Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB DDR Retail? is it better than the Sapphire one? its slightly cheaper so i suspect its not as good
And Yea basicly i can wait for the price to go down another 2 monthes but the question is: is it really goin to go down that dramaticly in only 2 or 3 monthes in Israel? - i dont think so... |
