Replacement Vid Card For ATI 9000Pro
Hi, i'm looking for a replacement vid card for my ATI 9000Pro.
I was leaning towards the GFX5600's as i can get them from between $270 and $320 AU.
My main picks are:
Abit Siluro 5600 DT 256mb - $280
X-Micro FX5600 256-TV - $280
X-Micro FX5600 128-TV - $270
X-Micro FX5600 256-GOLD-TV - $320
Or if i went ATI:
Gigacube ATI 9600 Pro Lite - 256mb - $296
PowerColor 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9600 Pro - $299
What are ppl's Thoughts on this as i would like to keep to around these prices $280-$320..
BTW, i don't do a lot of gaming but prob won't buy a vid card for at least 1yr so i want to be able to play d3 and h-l2 when they come out. And i prefer Quality over speed.
Thanks.

If your budget can stretch a bit, get a 9700 pro.

Thanks.
256mb frame buffer cards are a gimmick. It doesnt improbe performance. Nothing utilizes the extra memory.

If you're looking for a budget video card then either get a ti4800se or a Radeon 9500 Pro. I really feel sorry for people who dont live in the us. Newegg is god.
The retail for these cards is about $100-$150 AU more than my cost price.
Gigacube Or Powercolor?
