I half to build a new PC this spring,it became a tradition building a new PC every other year. this PC has GeForce2 card now.since I've tryed out GeForce thought of trying out ATI. never has ATI card but I know there popular.herd rumbles of them not keep drivers around for older cards since I am going to run the new PC for 2 years not sure if I should go with ATI or not.
I went from a Geforce 2 to the Radeon 9600XT, its a huge world of difference. BUT as a game player, I had a bit of tinkering to do with my favorite older games. The 9600XT is the steriod powered 9600. and on a budget its got much of what you will see in a 9800. (But a 9800XT is even better than a 9800) Nvidia and Radeon have both pros and cons... they each have strong points where the other is weaker. a 9600XT is comparable in most points as a Geforce 5900xt and exceeds it in many ways.(Except for Doom3 perhaps) Price checking as 9600xt 128MB DDR is now under $200 Canadian ($165 US)
