I know think the 9600 is faster in core and mem speed but what about the feauters it has and the thing it can do and what card would you guys rather have please help me make up my mind i have been thinking about this for 2 weeks.

if youve always had nvidia and like nvidia and have never had problems with nvidia, get nvidia

but naturally, the radeon is better.

Ya i like Nvidia but i would rather get the best card for the $$$ around $150 or so any other cards i will look at also if they are around $150

get the 9600 pro, even if it does only have 4 pipelines it has faster mem and core clock speeds and its OC's like crazy

If the fx 5600 is a non ultra stay away from it and get a Ultra version or a 9600/9500 pro.


Remember people that DX9 is only used in demanding yet to be released games like Half life 2 and Doom3 and such. The FX5600 non Ultra just does not have the power for these up coming games so whats the point of them having DX9 support unless they come out with a DX9 version of pong.

If you want DX9 support you have to go big or go home so go no less the a FX5600 Ultra or 9600pro. With out DX9 features needed a Ti4200 will out preform a FX5600 Non Ultra anyday.
