Ati Radeon 9600

[Timz]

Right now both cards are around the same cost (pro about 10 $ less) and the XT comes with a voucher for HL2 when it comes out. Im really looking forward to a good card and HL2 is a definet plus (looks awesome from the latest movie)

I havnt realli heard much about the XT version although it does have quicker clockspeed and seems generally better, i want to know what some people who ahve the card think.

Do u people recommend the card, is it easy to install? and is it compatible with most games?

the Xt will play virtually any game you ask it too, the pro will to i believe
Here is the card i just bought, it's a monster, 500Mhz core speed! very nice card
where are you from? If you are from Nova Scotia or at least canada you may want to chek out Greenlyph, they have the Saphire 9600XT Retail for $225 CAD
Hope this helps

if its a 10$diff then definately go for the xt

if there is like a30-70$ diff then buy the 9600pro and overclock it to match the XT

PRO: 400/600
XT: 500/600

radeons can easily overclock 100 for the core

haha yeah thats not a bad card, but how much??
me, i prefer Radeon, but thats my opinon, nVidia has its advantages i guess too, there is the poll on that called "Graphics Cards" if you wanna read some peoples oppinions.
Did you see the card I got? what do you think? comes with HL2 too

[Spicker]

thts a good card! how much u got it for?

the fx5700 is for 219$CDN and its a whore with a memory clcok for 900MHz with 8pipelines and 256bit core crazy shyt look at the discription more on the link i gave u...

its cheaper then the xt and 9600pro

and is this card any good?

219 is actually a very nice price for that card, mine was 260 plus tax, free shipping, but thats a deal a buddy got me
as far as i remember the 9600XT outpreformed the 9800se in benchmarks, the 9800se is somewhat a budget card i believe, i will try to find those benchmarks if you give me a minute though

EDIT take a look here and it may change your opinions on the 9800se
