Ati Radeon 9600 (pro)

[Keikan]

Ok for my new pc i need a graphics card and i'm not made out of money so no Saffphire 9800pro for me, so i looked at the ATI radeon 9600PRO 128mb around $280 cnd is the 9600pro any good?

I think thats the best one out there thats not above 300 bucks. I personally have the geforce fx 128mb.. got it for 60$ works like a charm.

I'm like ATI better, i always had ATI like the one i have right now ATI Rage 128 it's a good card well ofcourse not now

The Radeon 9600 is a nice selection, but I would still go for the 9500 pro if you can find one cheaper, as it has 8 pixel pipelines as opposed to the 9600 pro.

There are no 9500pro's at my local stores

Do you have a credit card?

No i'm 13 and my mom won't use her credit card for shopping on internet/tv

I heard 9500 Pro is faster than 9600 Pro.. it costs more too.
ATI took away the 8 pixel pipelines on 9600 Pro and used 4 instead.. it is slower.

9500pro is like rare here

You could ask you local vendor if they will open a regular 9500 box for you and then see if if the ram chips look like:


If so, buy it and you are very likely to be able to mod it to a 9700 pro.

If it looks like this

you can read about this more here



then you might be able to convert it to a 9500 pro for the price of the 9500 non pro.


What is up with all of you youngsters on this board?
