Radeon 9600 Pro
 

Hey, does anyone know if this card is decent or not? I desperately need a new card, but I really don't have more than 200 bucks. If anyone has any input on this card, or a better one to suggest under 200 bucks, that would be great.

Get a 9500 Pro instead.

You say "i dotn really have any money" then you say "I only have 200"


you should be happy you can get a card that can play new games.....


i cant even afford a Geforce 4 MX 440 which is like 50 bucks =(

I cant even afford a Happy Meal.

Not even 99c menu?

Don't spam my thread bitches. Anyways, anyone else have an opinion?

If you have a very lousy power supply, get a 9600. Otherwise, a 9500 Pro is better (it's faster, despite being a lower number.)

I know. In all the benchmark's i've seen, 9500 Pro is almost 10% better at higher resolutions. If I can find a 9500 Pro around my local area, I'll get it.

Get this, it's leet.

That has nothing to do with a graphics card. Besides... it's too much.

Uncapped, you should try to find a site online that gives a good price + free shipping, local stores (the ones around me anyways) are always overpriced. I got my speakers 40 dollars under retail, with free shipping (and you have to pay tax at local stores too).

i know its not the best card outt here but it can play all new games, and its the cheapest....maybe ill convice my dad to get it

Oh my god, I just realized that I have like a 10 year old sound card. Should I get a new one of those, too?

You could get a Sound Blaster Live! for 30 bucks if you don't mind it not having a box or manuals.

Last question. I have a 4x AGP slot. Will this matter, since the card is 8x?

The card will run at 4x. That means the data transfer will be slower.

4x and 8x is barely noticably different.

Ok, thanks. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try out the shadowlands beta. Or at least watch the patch d/l bar slowly move.

GeForce = sucks

long story short, the 9600 uses a newer .13 micron transistor size that makes it better in the long run. The 9500 pro's clock speed is a little bit higher, so it'll get more fps in todays games. The 9600 pro, however, will do better on games in the future because of it's more efficient processor. Plus, the 9600 is quite a bit more overclocker friendly. I would (and have) gone with the 9600 pro.
