9600pr0 256 or fx5500 256?

[fiveiron]

I need to know some opinions, i am trying to choose betweem these 2 cards.
ati sapphire 9600Pro 256 meg for 140$ CND
or the
nvidia EVGA Fx5500 256meg card. for 150$ after the 40 buck mail in rebate

I believe since the nvidia card is an FX you're better off looking through your garbage for a graphics card. better price too. the 9600 pro is a good card, I'm currently running a 9600xt myself, but if you can find the 128MB model I think that is the better option

The R9600Pro is a MUCH better card whether it's 128mb or 256mb.

The 256mb version usually has slower rated memory which matters more for overclocking.

Get Radeon 9600 Pro. 128 MB versions will perform equally well and should cost less

What brand 9600Pro can you get for $140CAN? 9600Pro's cost about $140USD, the better brands anyway..
