9500pro!!!!

I dont know which one is best to buy but Tyan released a Tachyo G9700pro the other day which looked pretty damn cool so perhaps that will come out for the 9500s

I would also say the 9500Pro. Saw it in a computer fair for $181. Great deal considering my Gf4 Ti4400 was $190 when I bought it a month ago and the 9500 is supposed to outperform a Ti4600 and it supports DX9

i would go with the 9500 PRO, but I think you have to flash the BIOS to OC it.

was all that fuss and actual BIOS flash? I thought it was just a registry thing...ah well if your that set on overclocking it im sure your fears of brakage will have to be put aside :S
