[filipino]

if your budget is bellow $200 go with ati 9800 pro

if your budget is $350 higher then go with GeForce 6800 GT

BTW: is this for gaming?

[proffit]

id go with a nvidia 5900xt if ur got 200 to spend and a gt like filipino suggested if u got more.

[silvest]

so is the 5900XT better than ATIs 9800 pro ?

[filipino]

silvest here VGA Chart to help you decide

i think that the 5900 is better then the 9800 pro it is alot more stable when it comes to antianalysing ( the fps sec dont dramaticly drop off when it is enabled) also it can be over clocked some thing major i have go my card getting scores of way over 6 k in 3d mark 03. thsi is the card i use look at the reviews http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...170-048&depa=0

which agp card should i get ?

if it is so then,the Asus 9600 SE is just the card for you !
for more informations,drop in to www.Asus.com .
I'm a Malaysian and I'm just 16,so i I cannot help you if it comes to prices.Sorry.

[proffit]

as before the se is a very bad idea it just out performs a 9200 the only difference is it is dx 9.0 compatable.

[silvest]

yeah, that's wat i heard.. that ATIs SE aren't that good, whereas Nvidia's SE's are better than their XTs... is this true ??

And, thanks for your opinions

[silvest]

Hmm... the 9800 Pros seem to be showing better performances than 5900s...

How do i get to OC the 5900 if i were to get one ?

Hi silvest,
well,i never tried it.
but how do i know The Asus Radeon 9800 XT is good ?
why ?
coz i have it right here . in my agp slot

[proffit]

the 5900 can be overclocked easy. nvidia gives you the software to do it on there driver disk.

[b3ta™]

I have the 9800 Pro - White Box Edition and it's awesome, I would recommend it.

[silvest]

any other opinions ?? 5900xt or 9800 pro ??

is this referring to 5900 ?? or 5900XT as mentioned above ?? cos i thought the XT is the downclocked version of 5900, so it should be no where near as good as the 9800 Pro right ?

[silvest]

anyone ?

[GameManK]

9800pro is better than a 5900xt and about the same as a 5900 i think. don't forget, you can overclock the 9800 as well (use atitool).

if your budget is around $200, i'd say 9800pro now or 6600GT AGP if you can wait a couple months

Take a look at this: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=1955&p=22

XT/SE on the Nvidia side is not even half as bad as SE on the ATI side.

[Bizkitkid2001]

Wow much confusion in this thread.

For starters, the 9800Pro is better than a 5900XT.

XT on an NVIDIA card means its a downclocked version. XT on an ATI card means in an OVERCLOCKED version.

Now the reason you don't see any 5900s being sold anymore, just 5900XTs and 5900SEs is because that even though the 5900 chip was downclocked(The XT and SE versions), it could still run *ALMOST* as fast as the 5900 that were not downclocked. Thus people ended up buing the 5900XTs over the 5900 causing NVIDIA to stop producing the 5900.

You can overclock BOTH NVIDIA and ATI cards.

And another comment I would like to make is that a 6800 would be a better buy than a 5900XT or a 9800Pro.

[silvest]

mm.... the 6800 is kinda expensive compared to the 9800 Pro... I think i'll stick to the 9800Pro..

and OC it..
