Title: Card opinions needed
Post by: jigsaw on December 14, 2003, 12:04:53 AM

Been watching a lot of the threads where people were asking about vid cards, and also talking to other off the board. Seems like it's almost always been a Ford vs Chevy debate, but I've gotten it narrowed down to the following two cards.

ATI 9600 XT w 128 megs
Nvidia FX 5700 w 256 megs

They're within a few bucks of each other price wise wherever I've found them, just need to get some hard numbers performance wise if anyone has them.

Current card is a GeForce 3 if that helps any.

TIA for the input.

I think that either will be a fine choice but I'd go for the one with more memory. If the ATI had 256 MB, I'd go on price.

I have a ati 9600 radeon pro, and it really does good work.
  No problems or those pesky 'fixes' and patches and etc.
