ATi 9500Pro, faster with more features than any of the above.

Go look at some of the reviews if you need some reasons (it's the obvious choice).

Actually the G4 Ti 4200 is looking appealing for 70$ less than the 9500 pro. So indecisive.

 

[Nights_L]

it also depends on ur system
I would say that 70$ worth it, cuz 9500 is a dx9 card and it performs better than Ti4200

I've got a GF4 Ti4200 128mb ViVo made by Leadtek. I've had it for a year and it does everything I need it to do. If I had the cash there'd be a 9700Pro in my system though. Realistically if I was buying a card today I'd get the 9600 Pro.

hmm I've heard too many things in here. Which is better the 9500 or 9600? I've heard both sides of the argument.

 

[Rubberbband]

9500Pro is slightly faster but requires a good PSU (because you have to power it directly from the PSU) and it's become hard to find.
The 9600Pro is powered by the AGP slot only and from what I've heard it overclocks really well (each card has different overclocking potential).

I got a 400 Watt PSU and I can buy a 9500. I can also get a 9600 but they don't stock the 9700. What would be better to buy the 9500 pro, or the 9600 pro and OC it?

9500 Pro, and OC _IT_!

Crap. Ok I'm looking into another supplier now, and their 9600's are a really good deal right now, too good to pass up. Anyway what would be better
Radeon 9600 Pro 128M DDR, VGA, DVI, TV-O, AGP8x
OR
Radeon 9600 256M DDR, VGA, DVI, TV-O, AGP8x
??
