Which Graphics Card should I buy?

Eon_Blue · September 5th, 2003, 09:41 PM

I'm currently considering either the Radeon 9800 or the GeForce FX 5600 Pro. Which one would be better? The GeForce is a little cheaper. I'm going for that $250 or less range. Any other suggestions?

I say the 9800, I'm not all that impresed w/ the GFs yet.

Just my $.02

The 9800 is probably a better card ... it's newer.

The 9800 IS better, but the questions remains, which has more bang for the buck as the 5600 is, as you said, cheaper.

You can get a OEM Sapphire 9800 at Newegg for $249.00.

i wouldn't even spend that much for a video card, maybe around the $100s but not $200s and they may come out with something new and more improved

9900 is suppost to come out in the next couple of months...prices will drop

i would spend in the 100's but i want to be able to play the upcoming 3d games... such as half-life 2, doom 3, deus ex 2, etc...
