n00b question 9600 vs 9500

[600Burger]

Techniclly and performance wise what are the differances? Whats the better deal?

 

[Corporate Thug]

9500 pro: 8 pipelines/discontinued
9600 pro: 4 pipelines/ still produced

but if you find the right 9600 pro, it will oc very well and give you great performance for the money (i got mine to 525/720)

So would it be recommended to get the 9600, or the 9500 if their within $20 of each other.

 

[Corporate Thug]

wait, are we talking about the PRO or the regular?

 

[600Burger]

woops, sorry. Both Pro's.

 

[Corporate Thug]

ok, if there is only a $20 i would get the 9500 pro. if you can afford something in the $220 range, the 9700 non pro would whomp on both of those cards
