Could someone tell me the difference between a Radeon 9600se and 9600 Pro, including the effects on performance?
Thanks

Captain Obvious says avoild the 9600SE if at all possible!

ATI name their cards in the following order from weakest to strongest: 9600SE, 9600, 9600Pro, 9600XT.

The Captain says the SE is particularly bad as they do nasty things to it!

Get the Pro!

SE stands for 'Stinky Edition'(i give ALL credits to whoever said that first, cant remember who)

Actually, from what i understand SE has slower memory and is not as good of a card.

If you dont need the software, go for a 9600pro OEM by ATI, Sapphire, or another forum suggested brand.

You can get an OEM ATI 9600pro at Circut City for 173.99. They have a great return policy and if you have one close you wont be outa luck if somethings wrong with your card!

If you want to order online, I suggest www.newegg.com. Great prices and Fast shipping! Ive never had any problems with them!

A pro will deffinently out preform an SE, but i dont have the benchmarks, its kind of one of those 'trust us' things!

Edit: Man Cap'n you beat me to it!

AFAIK, it was me.


Radeon 9600 XT = Good, Expensive
Radeon 9600 PRO = Good
Radeon 9600 = Not good
Radeon 9600SE = Radeon 9600 with 64 bit memory interface, Avoid it at all cost (Only buy it at gunpoint)
