R9800 or FX 5900 ultra?

Bengan · 08-24-03, 09:58 PM

What do you think?
Radeon 9800 128 mb
or
Geforce FX 5900 ultra 256 mb?
I am a gamer. Want the best fps in the games...
Money is not a problem
thanks

I'd go for the ATi.

I'd go for the Radeon 9800. Although the Brittney Spears thing is making me think twice.

DoomArse · 08-24-03, 11:17 PM

go with the radeon 9800

Same price? Get the 5900 ultra, it is a little better than the 9800 pro 256meg supposedly, and is a much more valuable card (costs around 450$ as opposed to 250$ if I remember.) If you are asking which between the two we'd recommend given the standard prices... the 9800 no questions asked. the 5900 ultra costs way way too much.

BigJk-47 · 08-25-03, 01:35 AM

Both cards can play anything & do anything.They make a 256 9800 also

You pick the card and get back to us on how you like it.

Chowdy · 08-25-03, 01:55 AM

I'd go with the 9800 simply because all these articles of Nvidia's driver-based cheats have left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't think i'll ever "ooooh" and "aaaaah" at the sight of Nvidia's benchmarks on their latest products anymore. For all i know, they're fake.

IMO the 9800 is the right choice.

Bengan · 08-25-03, 01:56 AM

Hehe okay thanks dudes ;D love ya ^^

Bengan · 08-25-03, 01:57 AM

dont get confused by my system, am going to sell it to buy a better. want the best... thats why the questions are asked

and hey... anyone heard about Radeon9800 having problems with CS?

sometimes its low fps. thanks!

Chowdy · 08-25-03, 02:02 AM

CS is hardly a videocard dependent game, i think.

Bengan · 08-25-03, 02:02 AM

Yeah I know that... but I still have fps drops. everyone says that's because 9800 has problems with CS. anyone know anything about it?

Lazlo Panaflex · 08-25-03, 03:20 AM

Your 9800 should have noooo problem handling CS, its most likely a driver issue. Try reinstalling the newest drivers.

Well I have a 9800np and I play CS with 6xAA and 4xAS and I still get 100fps @1024x768.

n00bular · 08-25-03, 02:27 PM

Are the fps drops in massive smoke grenade spams? My fps drops only occur during smoke grenade spams. Then again im on a gf4 ti4200 4xaa 8xaf.

On your 9800 with probs with cs, I haven't heard anything about that. Whats your AA/AF settings? V-sync on/off?

Falcon-K · 08-26-03, 03:17 AM

why are you getting a new graphic card? a radeon 9800 non pro is a good card....most people here would love to have one of those...some people just have too much money

tycanadian · 08-26-03, 11:36 AM

Both are awesome cards.

If money is no object: 5900FX

If you're not a rich-ass *******: 9800Pro

KuNFuSHuN · 08-27-03, 03:17 AM

if u like image quality go for ati
if u want speed for go fx..
