9600XT or 9800Pro for 100 more?

[DaCoOlNeSs]

well here is the deal. I have a friend that wants to sell his ATi Radeon 9600XT for $150, and then online, I can get a MSI 9800ProSP 128MB for $250. which one would you guys get?

IMO, neither. I got my 9800Pro 256MB for $250 from ATI a few months ago. $250 for the 128MB just isn't worth it. If I were in your position, I'd go get a 6600GT from the egg for less than $250.

well i think i just saw a 9600XT at microcenter for 105 so i wouldn't do that

CAN-A-DA.


ok now that THAT is straightened out, any other posts? (I don't want a 6600GT, cause it costs more than I can afford )

I'd take the 9800Pro, it'll last you longer

According to newegg, there's a $8 difference, excluding refurb cards.

Just get a 6600GT, you'll thank us all later.
