Crimson 0 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I've had my Ti4400 for over a year now, and I think it's time to move on. I'm looking at the Radeon 9800 series (Pro, not XT) and the nVidia 5900 series (Ultra and what not). I'd like to keep the price under $300. If your using one of the two cards mentioned, feel free to post the pros and cons of it. Also, if anyone knows where to find benchmarks comparing the two, that would be nice.

snakebite1967 0 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 (edited) hands down id have to say the built by ATi 9800 pro 128 ddr is the best bang for the buck, its cheaper than the high end nvidia card and scores higher in the majority of benchmarks. it has better dx9 support and handles AA and AF much better, the image quality is also a tad better than the high end nvidia cards with a quieter cooling solution. http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/200303...0306/index.html http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/vide...cle.php/2106171 http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/9800256/index.htm http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/r350/index.htm http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/at...on9800pro.shtml http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/revie...2hpc3Rvcnk9LTI= http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NDM5 http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973...3,917575,00.asp just a few to keep you going if u want any head to head ones ill try and find those, after owning most cards built by nvidia going back to the tnt2 days i realy wanted an FX card till i looked around and to be honest after buying my 9800 ive never looked back. running max detail with shadows on and still seeing over 200 fps GR ahs never looked better Edited January 18, 2004 by snakebite1967 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Ranger 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 And yet, another plug for the ATI 9800 PRO. I've had great success with this card. Bang for buck, as snakebite said, it's gotta be the best out there now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warhawk 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 (edited) @Crimson If money is not an object per se, as it seems to be in this case, I would go with the 9800 based on Snakebite's recommendation. For me I am very happy with my Nvidia 5200FX. My problem is now my system is holding my card back. Stout Hearts =UE=Warhawk Edited January 19, 2004 by warhawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
