How bad is an FX5600XT?
Just bought an 5600XT card today -- and it's awful. It feels slower than my
5200. So it's going back (the shop (or the receipt) didn't state it was an XT - so I should get a replacement or money back - right?). So I'm looking for a better card. For £80 I can get a proper 5600 (from another shop). Or an ATI 9600 EZ Pro for £89 or an 9600 Pro for £102 or an FX5700 for £109. Any idea which one I should go for? I plan to return it tomorrow so a quick reply is appreciated. Cheers. Bobby |

You posted about graphic cards on the 12... on the 14th I even gave you a link to a review site that has a nice little chart about video cards. None of the 5600s compare to the ATI9600Pro.. which might have cost you a bit more... and as youve posted, your budge does allow for a 5700.... in which I stated the 5900XT (not 5600XT) would be the better card for the same price. You can't play the latest games with GOOD visuals with slow cards. Any idea which one I should go for? I plan to return it tomorrow so a quick reply is appreciated. Do research... look at cards. http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic...ournament_2003 Especailly this one: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1933&p=2 -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!! |

Go for either the 9600 Pro or the FX5700 Ultra, those are fast and nice AND have fast enough memory! |
