GeForce 5600XT vs. 9600SE

[ortisai]

which you think is better and y

my money ($120) is on the 5600XT
let me know

Between the 2, the 5600 is better. I would save a coupla more dollars and get a 9600 Pro.

[ortisai]

anyone know the stats of a 5600xt

[tony_j15]

Do a google for it. I just did. Both those cards have 64 bit memory. thats not good. The 5600XT barely performs better than the 5200, which has 128bit memory. I'd definately save a bit more and get a 9600 Pro.

[ortisai]

thats wierd, i just saw the box at microcenter and it said dual 400's and 128 bit

[ortisai]

oh and thats a s*ity chaintech, im talkin a lil better quality

[mike_sanfil]

well if your going to save up some more money, i love my 9700pro from zipzoomfly for only $209 new.

for 120 you can easily get a 9600np(non-pro) which is better than a 9600se (sucky eddition) so i would get a np over the 5600xt but get the 5600xt over the 9600se

5600XTs come in both 64-bit and 128-bit flavors so just be cautious when buying.

"5600XTs come in both 64-bit and 128-bit flavors"

Unfortunatly there isnt much justification in the 128bit version. I.E. its still not fast.
