Well I was turned easily. All it took was for someone to say "Amds are better for games". Didn't care to figure out why. Didn't care to compare anything, I just got amd. B)

Just got a Radeon 9600 xt today, only cost £92. Its so dam good, now I can revel at the jizz graphics of Dues Ex 2 and Prince of persia!
so good

[CadeLaguana]

Well I'm happy for you . If you get around to playing a lot of games on high detail, tell me how well it performs




Doesn't matter though, I'm still getting it

Well just played Need for Speed Underground after urpgrading and there was such a difference, each spoke of the rim was so crisp and defined whereas with the mx420 it was sorta blurry mesh.
Dues Ex 2 purrs like a beauty on this card churning out top quality graphics, everything on high with no lag.

Just curious tnt, whats your specs. It'll give me and idea how well this thing will run for me

meh, screw the 9600xt lol....i decided to go w/ the cheap 9600 non pro... my mx440 64mb PCI can play halo on medium setting at 800x600 so the 9600 128mb should be able to do it at 1024x768 at med or high setting, and beside, my old one was a pci and the 9600 is gonna be 8x agp

i hav a amd duron 1ghz and 512 ddr memory if i get a new video card say the 9600 pro wud i be able to play new games lik nfs underground or the 2004 spirt games and new games that are gonna come out w/o any problems? rite now i have a 32mb video card

[CadeLaguana]

Ahhh 32mbs...the mediocre days...I remember those days...


Well according to these guys, you will be able to play tomorrow's games with that card. I'll know for sure when I get it. It should run half-life 2 well...after all, it comes with the card(voucher at least...). It's safe to say that the 9600 and xt will perform nicely.
