Out of these to graphics card which (if any :rolleyes: ) would you recommend? They are both in my price range but out of the two which is (performance wise) better...
Sapphire Radeon 9600 APG x8 128MB DDR DVI-I TV-Out Lite Retail
or
Tyan Tachyon Radeon G9600PRO 8xAGP 128MB DDR VGA/DVI/S-Video/Hardware Monitoring Retail Box
saphire's are cheap, but not so good. go with the other 1 if u can afford it
I always prefer the expensive one...
after reading some of the other posts from hardwareworld i am kinda confused (mainly from that ati vs nvidia poll) im gonna do more hunting in that site and see if i can find any others at around £100 :blink: :blink:
Here's the official Specs for the Official Retail ATI Radeon 9600 pro card: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?...-102-276&DEPA=1
Compare the specs of those 2 cards to this one.
btw the 9600 pro only has 4 pixel piplelines.. 9500 pro has 8 for some reason.. benchmark scores are higher on 9500 pro, but the price is also higher.. strange huh?
go with a ATI Radeon 256mb 9800 Pro XT then :DQuote:

they ushally cost more cause of the brand.
Like.. Store#1's orange juice costs $3 more than Store#2. They both taste the same though.

it's true. compare a ford to a mercedes. theres a huge quality, speed, look, design, comfort, and everything difference. expensive is better, but cheaper is better, if u can find a good deal
notice that he's asking about a 9600 Pro vs a 9600 Non-Pro. rule of thumb = in the case of ATI, Pro's are better than non-Pro's.

This reminds me (and all of us) about AMD and Intel.
AMD is fast speed for a good price.
Intel is fastest for highest cost.
yet i still have an intel :blink:

You are wrong on that one. Sappiretech makes arguably the best ATI cards on the market. Go read the Xbitlabs.com articles.Quote:
