I'm in pretty much a dilemma.....
I've read in Digit-Life articles the ranking of the video cards, High end, low end, etc.....
I'm a hardcore gamer and want to upgrade my video card (Palit FX5600 256mb - 325/550)...... don't want to spend over $200.00 (I've already pushed my limits and can't go over that) and the options are:
Leadtek Winfast A350 TDH-LX (FX5900 128mb 2.8ns).... $204.00 at newegg
ATI 9600Pro 128mb (400/600)................................... $166.00 at buyxg
The article place the ATI 9600Pro above all the FX5900 and the ATI9500Pro in the High end and mid end user chart, but in the other ones is below the FX5900 and some FX5600...... on the other hand I've read many, almost all reviews about the ATI9600Pro and in most of them the video card is highly criticized because of poor performance against FX5900, FX5600 and ATI9500Pro............ could this be a antique driver issue, solved with new driver upgrades in Digit-Life reviews???.... I'm not that familiar with Catalyst drivers!
Please help me on this corncern, recomendations will be accepted and appreciated...
Thanx in advance.
My system is:
Abit NF7 V.2
AMD XP2700+
Kingston 512mb (333)
Soundblaster Audigy 2
WD 80gb HD (7200)
Leadtek Winfast TV-tuner
350W Power supply
