Cheap Radeon 9600

[xSnowblindx]

I'm building a system for the first time sometime soon (when i get the money), and i'm going to be overclocking it. However i'm trying to keep it cheap, currently it's at $520, and thats about as high as i'd like to go. I don't need help with the other components, those i have sorted out well, but i'm wondering if the vid card i picked out is deicent for the price.

It's a Rosewill Radeon 9600 from Newegg for $64.99.

How's this look? Thanks.

I've never heard of Rosewill. I'm thinking of getting a Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT for about $100. I wonder just how many companies ATI whore themselves out to this way.

That's a 9600SE - Shortbus Edition. Run the hell away.

I say hold F117 at gunpoint until he posts the link to the 9600XTs for $100 in HD.

Um, you can look up Radeon 9600 XT on Froogle. No need for violence.

Are Sapphire Radeons good vid cards, or just cheap ripoffs? What about all these other non-ATI cards with Radeon chipsets? Are they any good?

That doens't preclude it from happening!

Sapphire cards are some of the best OEMs in my opinion. Powercolor also makes a mean card in the softmoddable arena.

... which is a subsidary of Acer, which sucks ass. Suck then resonates back along the chain to AOpen/Rosewill.
