GeForce FX 5600 or Radeon 9600 ?

[*Kornholio*]

Upgrade time, and I don't know which would be better for gaming... both are around the same price, so without having the ancient Nvidia vs ATI argument, which card is the best value for money ?

Id get the 9600pro or wait a few more weeks and get the 9600xt

reasons being IQ and the up and coming DX9 games will run better on the ATI hardware

With the upcoming release of the 9800 and 9600 xt, the pro and non pro versions of both cards should drop. So wait till the XT's are out, the reviews for the 9800 XT show its only abot 3% better than a 9800 pro, and then buy a 9600/9800 pro on the cheap.

ATI 2 - Nvidia 0

Is there a big difference between the 9600 & the pro (other than £25) ?

Clock speed is the only difference.

I've got no idea what to go for, I'm still running a GF4.

 

[Embattle]

Yeah but you only play OF

 

[Will]

Heh, not quite. But I've got no need to upgrade, so I've not bothered looking into it.

 

[Embattle]

Ok...NWN too
