Wow 2-3 years is nuts, just need other people to agree (nothing against you, just the fact that no one is perfect), and I shall buy it. Just making sure, because I've already came pretty close to buying the 9600XT, realizing that wasn't worth it at all, then the 9500PRO, then the 9700PRO, and now this.......

Nice thanks man, you've helped out a shitload. All this stuff is driving me insane, so I hope your dead on about this card, because its either this or the 9700PRO, or some other crazy card. But ya, once your friend gets the card, post, as I will be waiting patiently(sp?).

EDIT = Which one on pricewatch is the best quality, because theres about 50 of them, and me get confused very easy haha.

get the one that is a tad below your pricerange....or just get the cheapest one....i have a generic card and its fine.

**opivykid** · 12-30-2003, 02:47 AM

Alright then, just waiting for more opinions.... this, the 9700PRO....... or if someones nice enough to send me about $150 more for the 9800PRO...

**DWk** · 12-30-2003, 02:50 AM

**opivykid** · 12-30-2003, 03:00 AM

Me oh so very confused. Your talking about the cards here right? (if yes, if you could, pick a card out of that please)?

**DWk** · 12-30-2003, 03:09 AM

heres the order of nvidias 5900 cards.... from "worst" (riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight) to best

5900SE or 5900XT (the actual name is SE.... XT is a dumb fake name)
5900 (this is the regular version)
5900 ultra (w0ot

)

edit - forgot the links...

all the 5900's under 200 are fx5900SE (check the benchmark link...its a good card)... however if u want a regular fx5900

http://shop4.outpost.com/product/3699455

check that.... its a 200 dollar 5900.....there are more expensive ones... however this is the one that my friend ordered

**opivykid** · 12-30-2003, 03:12 AM

Alright well we have that list of nvidia cards, now to look at the other side aka Ati cards. So how would you compare those to the 9500Pro + 9700Pro?
