Graphics Cards

[ekucz123]

I've currently got a Radeon 9200 128MB RAM card and am looking to update to either a Radeon 9600 Pro/XT or Geforce FX5600.

Does anyone have an opinion on which one would be the best to go for and the best place on the web to get a new card

The 9600 is the best all-round value for money card at the moment according to PC Zone, who have done a big graphics card test this month. The 9600 beat the 5600 in all the benchmarks as far as I can remember. I actually have a 5600 myself, so I'm not biased. I'm upgrading soon to either a 5900 or a Radeon 9800XT, but the 9600 is definitley the best card for the money at the moment.

www.overclockers.co.uk is very good, www.pcindex.co.uk/ is a good price comparison website.

Hope that helps 8)

Seconded.

I recently bought a 9600 (non-pro, but with 256mb) off Overclockers and I'm well pleased with it. I was running all my games in medium detail @ 800x600 with my old GeForce 2, now I've slapped the ATI card in (for a very reasonable ?100) I'm running everything in absolute maxxed out detail @ 1024x768.

Well worth the money.
