budget video card: 9550 / 9600xt ??
Hi,
Video card newbie, here ... ork,ork,ork *slaps flippers together*
I'm on a bit of a budget. The card I'd REALLY like to get is a Radeon 9800 pro aiw
128 mb ..... but I'd have to switch from herring to kraft dinner for 2 months, to be able to come up with the $$ for this card, which I notice gets alot of very positive comments, from most folks
Plan "B" ... try an older Radeon card. My local store is flogging the older 9550 cards for fire sale prices. The 9600xt is a better performer, but they're charging an extra $ 100 for that one.
No major "gamers" in the family ... my teenage son plays mostly Medal of Honour and Battlefield 1942 ... with a couple of flight / combat flight simulator pgms thrown in for good measure.
If I have to go the plan "B" route ... what are your thoughts on the 9550 and 9600xt ??
Many thanks,
