I was wondering wich of these would be better?

Nvidia GeForce 9500GT
manufacturer PNY
• 550MHz Core
• Memory 512MB DDR2
• 1000MHz Memory
• 128 Bits
• PCI Express 2.0 x16
• DVI: 2
• TV-Out: HDTV / S-Video Out
• YES
• 32 Stream Processor

versus

ATI Radeon 2600 PRO
manufacturer MSI
• 600MHz Core
• Memory 256MB DDR3
• 1400MHz memory
• 128 Bits
• PCI Express 2.0 x16
• DVI: 2
• TV-Out: HDTV / S-Video Out
• YES
• 120 Stream Processor

Wich would be better and why? I really think its the ATI but with a lower price (50 vs 70 dlls) i suspect from it.

Any one got experiences with any of these?

Well a 256 DDR3 will perform better than the 512 DDR2...So if you get the 9500GT with DDR3 then get that...else get the 2600Pro with DDR3...

Options
1st Preference - 9500GT with DDR3
2nd - 2600Pro with DDR3
3rd - 9500GT with DDR2
4th - 2600Pro with DDR2

Thats like comparing a Kia Spectra to a Hyundai Accent. I'd go for the one with the most memory.

^NO

The 2600 Pro is older, but it is a"Gaming card"

the 9500 is not. it is meant for hi def movies and stuff, not gaming performance. the performance is totally different.

The performance is about the same, the 9500GT is just a relabeled 8600GT.

Since the 9500GT only has DDR2, in this case the HD2600pro definitely wins. The extra memory doesn't make up for the lack in speed, neither card could handle high resolutions anyway.

turboflame is right about the 9500gt being rebranded 8600Gt. unless you can find a 9500Gt with GDDR3 go with the 2600 pro.
