FX 5900 Vs 9600XT
Hi, haven't found too many reviews for plain 5900 (rather than Ultra) and
was wondering if anyone could say how it stacks up against the Radeon 9600XT? I'm presuming 5900 is better than a 5600/5700 Ultra but (here in UK) Dabs.com have one cheaper than some of those models (unfortunately it's not v.good with detailed, accurate specs I find)... However they are also showing the XT at £130 (vs. £160 for the 5900) so that is v. tempting esp. with HL2 voucher (already have 9500 Pro + 9000 in other machines, never used Nvidia before). Hope no-one flames me for mentioning the Dark Side, sorry ;-) |

Hi there,
I think u'll find that the 5900 would out perform the 9600XT, but i'll have to check on that... u have to remember that the nvidia cards are faster in the older games... its the new direct x 9 games that they suffer... the new 52 driver series is supposed to help... but if ur gonna upgrade only next year then save ur money and buy the XT with the half life 2 coupon.. the XT becomes a better option... the card might be cheaper because its been returned etc.. so please check if ur buying online Hope this helps Deranged "J Alex Temple" wrote in message ...

Thanks to you both guys for replying, may end up going for both (upgrading
the R9000 PC with the XT perhaps). Would still be difficult to compare FX with it due to motherboard, OS + memory differences but still interesting... |
