9800 pro vs 5900xt
I've narrowed my choice down to 2 New video cards either the 5900xt or the
9800pro. It seems that the 9800pro beats the 5900xt in most benchmarks but I've been a Nvidia guy since the TNT. I've never had much luck with ATI in the past but the 9800pro is what a lot of people recommend. My system is currently is Asus A7N8X, 2.4 Athlon, Gainward 5600xt and 1 gig DDR. Here are my questions: Are any issues with an nForce board and a ATI card? I have seen the benchmarks but how much more longer will I be able to run the 9800pro over the 5900xt? |

I had TNT which I loved, then a TNT2U, which was replaced with a radeon LE,
been happy with ATI since. Now have the 9800pro, very happy with it. Mike "Ozman" wrote in message ... I've narrowed my choice down to 2 New video cards either the 5900xt or the 9800pro.

I wouldnt get a 5900XT over a 9800pro even with nvidia`s openGL superiority. Nvidia XT cards are like ATI`s SE cards arent they? although full 5900`s are alot more than XT`s. As for how long they`ll run as long as they`re cooled effectively and handled carefully they should last as long as you need them to. some of my old cards are still going strong 5 years down the line in other people`s systems... |

Well if you've been nVidia since the TNT days, then your past experience of ATI is pretty much irrelevant. ATI have come a long way. Here are my questions: Are any issues with an nForce board and a ATI card? My 9800 Pro on my A7N8X Deluxe is an excellent combination. I have seen the benchmarks but how much more longer will I be able to run the 9800pro over the 5900xt? If the shift is towards pixel shaders, and it certainly looks that way, the ATI will probably outlast the nVidia quite a bit longer. Bearing in mind of course that longer is a relative term and we are talking about computers here :-) Ben -- A7N8X FAQ: www.ben.pope.name/a7n8x_faq.html Questions by email will likely be ignored, please use the newsgroups.

9800Pro with a7n8x-x here, runs perfect, no troubles to speak of. I have 3
machines exactly the same, also - no problems. "Ozman" wrote in message ... I've narrowed my choice down to 2 New video cards either the 5900xt or the 9800pro.

if ur looking at a card for max performance
and have $$ then wait and get a x800pro/XT, but that will also mean a system upgrade so theres no bottleneks, if budget dosent allow and u want it to run on ur current system 9800pro/XT will be a good purchase, their a great card and still performs sweet, i wouldnt upgrade for another year or so myself with my 9800xt, and lookin at my specs, ull see im using asus mobo, and card also OC and i have no stability issues nor problems, im a happy chappy, just make sure if u don the step over to ATI that u clean up ur video nvidia drivers b4 u install the new card. im sure theres no issues with nforce chipsets, correct me if im wrong i was going for a 5900xt 5 months ago, and i ended up getting a 9600xt through lookin around at benchmarks, price, and image quality, i opted for 9600xt and i was happy for 5 months luckly i was able to sell it off not much more than the paid price, and i got myself a kickass card! good luck -- Almeyda AMD2500XP @ 3200XP 11X200 2.21Ghz (waiting for Corsair 512 XMS3700 for xtra Ram speed & Possible xtra FSB ) ThermalTake Volcano 11 Xaser Edition ASUS-A7N8X-E Deluxe Kingmax 2X256MB Tiny BGA PC2700 DualChannel @166mhz 5/6 HIS Excalibur 9800XT 256mb @463/399 (Omegas 2.5.51 & ATI tool 0.20 No Artifacts) 1x80GB SATA Seagate 8mg cache 2x40GB ATA Seagate SB AudigyES ANTEC SuperLanboy 350 Case (350W SmartBlue PS) ThermalTake Hardcano 10 (Modded - All bits attached to 5.25" case face plate - way better looking) "Ozman" wrote in message ...
