9500 pro or 9700 pro

I am looking at a new video card and it is between the ATI 9700pro and 9500pro. I want to know how much more powerful the 9700 is and i want to know what card gives the most bang for the buck. If there is a reason you feel strongly about one card please say why.
 
9700 pro is considerably faster than a 9500 pro. The cards are fairly similar, but the 9700 has a 256 bit memory bus, giving is much better performance. If price is any concern than a 9700 non pro would be a good choice. It'll also give you excellent performance, and they seem to only be running a little more than 9500 pros.
 
It's quite a bit better. I'd suggest you look at some benchmarks. The one here will give you an idea of the different performance levels you get from the three cards.
 
how much can you get the 9700 pro for? The 9800 non pro might be something you'd want to check into. It's about as fast as the 9700 pro at stock speeds and gives much more overclocking headroom.
