Help me Choose

[abhinav]

Hi Guys,

This is my 1st post, Which one of these two cards do you think I should choose, plz dont advice me to buy anything else like 9600xt etc.

If I choose the radeon 9600pro should I buy the Info-tek(115$) or Sapphire or Sapphire Atlantis both around 125$

If I choose the fx 5700 should I buy the apollo one or gigabyte both 127$

Thanks in advance.

I would get the 9600 Pro OEM from Sapphire. I have had good luck with Sapphire cards and unless you want the pretty box, there really is no reason to buy the Retail version. The 9600 Pro should be a good bit faster than the 5700 cards you listed.

get the cheapest 9600 pro from newegg, brand doesnt really matter

Some say that the Sapphire cards have less core clock compared to ATI manufactured version , Is it true?
