9600 pro or 5700U?

I was wondering which would be better. I can get the 9600 pro from a
guy in my house for like 130 bucks. Is it worth it to spend the extra
money for the 5700 ultra? Faster, better drivers or anything? Thanks.

Probably the 5700, but why are you comparing a mid range ATI to a top
range NVidia? The 9600 is a good card though, especially for that
price.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the 5700 considered midrange? The
XT is just a 9600 pro with a higher clock. So I can overclock the 9600
and get a XT. I know about the overdrive thing and i don't care.

The 5700 is defnitly NOT toprange

It's fast, yes and it even has overwon the sluggishnes the 5600 had.
Yet it's NOT a toprange card.

The 5950, THAT is the toprange card ( and bleeting fast in that )
