9600xt is better.

 

[zZealoT]

By how much? Is it a significant difference so I would spend a bit more for it?

 

[ItsLasher]

The 9600XT is the better card of the 2,I have one in another rig and it will play most games nicely and on medium settings for most like CS:S,HL2,Doom 3.

 

[zZealoT]

Just one more thing, will getting a 9600XT with 256MB make much difference compared to one that is 128MB?

I could run Doom3 on high and CS:S/HL2 totally maxed out at 1024x768 when I had my 9600XT.

Yes a 6600GT will OWN both of those and OC like mad.

The most important difference is that the XT has a temperature sensor, while the pro does not. Also the XT has higher default clocks.

 

[J3r3my]

Also the 9600XT uses low k silicon which lets it clock higher. The 9600Pro doesnt use low k.

the XT is an overall more conveinent(sp?) card. go for it

Guys? Will it make a huge diff if I get a 9600XT with 256MB instead of 128MB?

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

the XT is an overall better card for value, more little things that are very conveinent and built for more greater stability.

arggg, damn computer

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

well, imagine this, you have 1 cookie (128mbs),
what if you get a SECOND cookie, 128+128 = 256...so basically twice the performance and enjoyment

 

[zZealoT]

Ok! Thanks for all the info guys

Edit: Oh just one last thing, the 128MB is a GeCube one and the 256MB Is just a normal Radeon one, will that make any difference

Not really. It just allows it to support higher resolution.

and whats bad about that?

Nothings bad about it. Just that doubling the RAM doesnt give you twice the performance. A 256MB 9600XT is only slightly faster than a 128MB 9600XT.

 

[u.c.i.n.e.x.]

lets say your running 1280 1024 resolution on a 128mb card,,,its glitchy and laggy, then u get 256mb its nice a smooth, that is a much better card and u can basically say, its performing 2 times better. * not in every category *
