9500/9600 pro

[stan03]

I just want your opinion on these two topics.

Which card would you get
1 9500Pro or 9600Pro

Which vendor would you buy from (e.g. gigabyte, connect 3d...)

At stock speeds the 9500pro is better from what I understand but the 9600pro is supposed to soar past the 9500pro when overclocking, at least that's what HardOCP showed, so it's up to you.

they didnt show that lol. They showed the performance of the o/c'd 9600pro to just about equall a stock 9700pro in some tests. An overclocked 9500pro would perform better than that.
both are pretty much equal weather at stock or overclocked. SO, i say get whatevers cheaper.

any of them will do fine. Just stay away from powercolor

[stan03]

i thought thier 9800 was good... or was that some other company?

[james.miller]

yes they do make the odd ocational good card, but there Quality Control is awful.
