considering 9600XT 128MB

[DVNT1]

Need a new video card within a couple days. I have a GF4 4600ti w/128megs now and my son's computer has a failed video card. So I'm thinking about upgrading mine and passing it down to him.

I like the price/performance of the Transcend ATI RADEON 9600XT Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP for $151

Good card (and buy) or am I missing a better choice?

I would go with this card as it is made by Saphire and it also lists the specs as the other doesn't

same price also

I just ordered the 9600XT by Saphire....I will tell u how it performs...it does good in benchmark tests though so IMO it is probably a good buy for the price and u will probably see a little to medium performance jump sense the 9600XT is DX9 and the 4600 is DX8. GL I will post later again when I get my new card!

(MitaDC) let me know your specs on your system if you don't care and i use a Saphire 9600 pro 128 which is slightly lower on specs then the XT and i have been benchmarking like crazy trying to get it over 12900 on 3d2k1...let me know how the XT does

appreciate it...

why not go for the 9800 Pro by Sapphire from newegg, only $227 retail (i bought it last week )

I considered it, but not worth the cost to me. The main game I play is America's Army. My GF4 4600ti does well, so I only need something with similar performance.

btw, I ordered the http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...talog=48&depa=1

I have the ASUS Ati Radeon 9600XT 128mb DDR with TV-Out and VIDEO-IN, DVI and dual monitor support. The biggest bang for the buck!! all my old games and new games have "zero" problems and the S-Video in has proven to be a large benefit to my family......

might also want to see which ones come with hl2 coupon if you're wanting to get that (if it EVER comes out).
