Geforce FX 5700 or Ati 9600 PRO

[Guest]

Well at last i decided to buy a new graphic for my pc, so i went to a local store and asked for these two cards i mentoned on the topic. I found ATI 9600 PRO at the price of 180 dollars and the Geforce was quite more expensive. I checked at your guide and realised that the ATI 9600 PRO is faster than the Geforce,but many technicians here insist that 5700 is better. Plz help me decide which card to buy...

The two cards have fairly similar perf. They are bothe great cards as far as I can tell right now. Go with the cheaper one.
Bothe chip manufacturers hav fudged on benches in the recent past, but I have a little more faith in Ati at this point. Still I dont believe everything I see in benchmarks, but can say first hand that the 9600P is one heck of a card.

The FX5700 is the SLOWER brother to the FX5700Ultra. If it were an ULTRA then the FX5700Ultra is 'usually' faster than an R9600PRO (which is slower than an R9600XT) except in pixel shader 2.0 applications when it is noticeably slower than the R9600 series. A base FX5700 is slower than both of the R9600Pro/XT. If you can get an R9600XT or an FX5700U. In that case you have relatively equal cards, dpending on your game of choice.

Another consideration would be the FX5900SE/LX/XT/EPV. It will outperform both of them like 98% of the time.

It should be ok. Gigabyte makes great cards, they don't always overclock well, but at stock they are very nice.

Here's a DH review of the card, alongside a Sapphire Fireblade edition;

When you get card before putting it in check the memory modules on board an see if they look like these;

In any case I'm sure you can see by the reviews, not bad.
