for online gaming pick up the 5700
or just wait for a few weeks and pick up the 6800 (non ultra)

I would get the 9600Pro for sure.
Atividia, why do you say the 5700 is better for online gaming?
cause in online gaming you dont need such good quality graphics, cause u want the game to go really fast so u arent killed...and with the low settings the 5700 beats teh 9600 doesnt it?Quote:

lol screw ur guide! <_<
oh well just wait til later and get a 6800
:rolleyes: No thanks - I lack interest in the 6800, principally due to its outrageous price tag.
Nevertheless, research at http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphi...416/index.html, witnesses the fact that the 9600 Pro is often defeated by its counterpart, the 9500 Pro or even 5600 Ultra.
toms hardware licks abu's balls. get the 9600 pro, or u'll be sory! lol
the 5700 isn't that good
although it maybe overpriced, when new graphics cards come out the older ones go down in price. Normally it is about 10-25%Quote:

5700 then... rofl mind as well :P
if you have the money, 9800 pro's have dropped in price quite a lot. you can pick them up for just under 200 dollars on sale on newegg or many other outlets. and that will last you for at least a year or more to come for the latest games.
but between the two... 9600 pro all the way.

if u really want to get a 5700 get a 5900xt instead same price
doesnt the 5700 perform better than those crappy 5900XT'sQuote:

5900XTs are great for their price. Like $180 last time I saw. I think its because they still have 8 Pipes so they run really fast. The 9700Pro is $180 also, I would go with that.
I have a preference of opting for a GPU that features 256MB of RAM. In my research, I stumbled upon the term "Data Width" on numerous occasions - what does it signify? In addition, I found it to be existent in two variants: 128/256-bit.
Furthermore, is Data Width of any significance, as I am now subsequently making a selection from either the GeForce FX 5700 and the Radeon 9600 XT - which does not possess the feature of a Data Width of 256-bit.
Your guide? Its a list of graphics cards with some benchies ripposed from Tom's Hardware! :P :PQuote:
