March 15, 200421 yr This is my situation,I have about 250 bucks canadian to spend on a video card. I was looking at a 9600xt and i was impressed at the benchmarks it got in hl2 and other games.If anybody has any other reconmendations i am open to all suggestions.thanks.,
March 15, 200421 yr If you can afford a 9800 Pro. Get it. It will be worht the extra cash down the road.If not wait for the PCI express to come out soon and drop the prices of the 9800 Pro's.The 9800 pro is probably the best card for the money today.What are you replacing.?

March 15, 200421 yr >>A 9800 pro is out of the questionErr, a 9800Pro 128 should only be like $30-40 more then a 9600XT, even less if it's somthing like a Saphire 9800, and not a real ATI 9800. Infact, I just saw a 9800 pro 128 at futureshop for $300 CDN, and futureshop does not have good prices.
