They are both pretty expensive, even wit conversion factor, but what Deadly Dude said is sound advice.

9600 pro I believe is a DX9 card
the NV card is not for sure DX8 at greatest

Therefore 9600 GO!

It really depends on what type of games that you like to play, and how long you want the card to last. If you're playing games that aren't quite as new, and you don't care about quality settings like AA and AF, then the Ti4800SE is better. However, if you want the card to last longer and enjoy AA and AF (in my opinion you can't go back after using AA), then the 9600 Pro is the way to go. It'll last longer because of it's DX9 performance, and it performs far, far better with AA and AF.

I'd probably take the Ti4800, but there's no wrong choice there....

I would also go with the 9600pro. Much more future proof as HL2 *may* show.
