Russian Assasian 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 If you go to nvidias website you can see that there is no sign it was ever made. Is nvidia planing to have the 5900 replace it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Are you looking to buy one? If so go to NewEgg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 (edited) Personally, I would wait to buy it. Its way to new, and is bound to have alot of bugs in it. Smart money says wait a month or so till its been out awhile, and see if the performance gain will make the cost worth it. You have to remember that most software still hasnt caught up to current hardware, and is about a year and a half behind. Edited June 8, 2003 by phantom110565 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russian Assasian 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 (edited) I dont plan to buy that card. I just got an FX5600 for my brothers PC and now I need to build one for myself. I was kinda dissapointed with the 5600, so I dont want to get an FX. Do you have any recomendations for todays best cards (no 9800s, way too expensive) Edited June 8, 2003 by Russian Assasian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 If you don't go 9700, 9800, or FX, there is no other option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russian Assasian 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 I could use the 9700 Pro, but Its still a bit too expensive. Is a 9700 non pro any good? Also I could get a 9500 pro, which is still in all the computer stores I go to. What about an MSI Geforce 4 TI4600 8X AGP. It is supposed to be the best Geforce card money can buy, but no DX9 support This may be a very stupid question to ask (gulp) but do ATI cards work with Nvidia Nforce 2 mother boards. I realy liked the one I put on by bros computer, it was an Abit NF7 Nforce 2. Sorry for the stupid question Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Ranger 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I could use the 9700 Pro, but Its still a bit too expensive. Is a 9700 non pro any good? The Non-Pro is still a good card RA. The 9700 board layout is the same. Both 9700Non-Pro/Pro have: 8-Parallel Pipelines 4-Parallel Geometry Engines 256-Bit memory interface 16 textures per pass The 9700(non-PRO) has a Core of 275MHz and a Memory rate of 540MHz(270MHz actual). The PRO has a Core of 325MHz and a Memory rate of 620MHz(310MHz actual). Thus, the 9700 and PRO versions are identical, save the lower frequencies of the non-PRO which ends up having a bit less fill-rate and bandwidth. I'd spend the extra money for the 9700 over the 9500, and if you have to wait a bit longer, get the Pro. do ATI cards work with Nvidia Nforce 2 mother boards. I realy liked the one I put on by bros computer, it was an Abit NF7 Nforce 2. Yes. I am using a 9800PRO with an ASUS A7N8X. Works great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
300Mag 0 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Also I could get a 9500 pro, which is still in all the computer stores I go to. If you can find one, which is hard to do in some areas, grab it. For under 200 bucks, you get a card that can be overclocked or even modified to 9700 power levels. The 9500 is nothing more than a 9700 with a few internal switches turned off. There was a "soft mod" a while back that could bump it up to 9700 specs. You may want to run over to rage3d.com to find out about it. For under 200 bucks, there is not a card around that can touch the 9500. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
