Hello I am in desperate need of upgrade my ati video card rage fury pro 😱 and I have narrowed it down to two cards.I will stick with ati because thats what my tv wonder is. I am wondering what would be the best card to get between the sapphire radeon 9600 pro and sapphire radeon 9600xt both 128MB Ram.
link to 9600 PRO
link to 9600 XT

I can say I plan on using the card for awhile so that might be some consideration :/
 
anandtech (particularily FX5700Ultra and 9800XT reviews, but also notice 9600pro AIW one; maybe also check the budget roundup if you dont game at all) 9600XT > 9600pro
THG 9600XT > 9600pro
digit life 9600XT > 9600pro
everywhere else IIRC, 9600XT > 9600pro

performance difference doesnt look too great for DX8.1, but seems to increase for DX9 games. Plus, I'm not sure if the dynamic overclocking was enabled in all those roundups, which would increase the lead for the XT.

Even if you dont game I'd go for the XT over the pro, unless it's that much more expensive. Even then, if you plan on buying HL2 anyway it might even work out cheaper if you factor that in.
