Please, I BEG OF YOU! GET a 9500, Gf 4 or a 9700 before they are gone!
I honestly don't appreciate Ati or Nvidia doing these stupid marketing mistakes, but it's our job as the informed to spread the wordage!

Spot on, dude!:) With a 'Amen' thrown in on top of that, fellow brethrens!:D
Yep, of all the video cards in the $200. or less price range, those would be the ones to get, the 9500pro is becoming the hardest to find. They still have them at Retail stores, but at premium prices.
The new FX5600 Ultra is pretty damn good, better than a 4600.
Ihaven't found a link for it for under 200, not the ULTRA anywayQuote:

Here is a link showing the price of the 5600 Ultra http://firingsquad.com/hardware/e-vg...ltra/page2.asp
pfffffffff theres always ebay, and screw the radeon9500 pro, a 9700 non pro is a far better deal :)
I want my radeon 9700 to get here from federal express asap:)
p.s.Dont play the waiting game for video cards because I found out that you will end up waiting forever for your card to come out.
Any FX5600 ultra gets its *** handed to it by a 9500 pro, which costs less (if you can find it).

heh dude for $20 more get a radeon9700. also I got my cpu to 2.14GHz at 1.75v, she actually did 2.16 was the highest I got at 1.75. higher voltages make it hot and unstable. Close though but not 2.2GHz like you said
I haven't been closely following video cards lately, but I thought the 9600 pro is the best deal out there. About $175 and is almost as fast as the fx 5800 ultra and definetly faster than the 9500 pro. Am I right?
I don't remember exactly where the 9600 Pro stands vs the FX5800 Ultra (you probably shouldn't get this card anyways), but it is slightly slower than the 9500 Pro.
The new 5600 Ultra is better then the 9600pro and the 9500pro is better then both of them.
9700>9500>5600>9600>4600>4200>5200
Something like that^^
Theres no way youve got the 4600 in the right place and Im not saying that just coz I own one. I have seen it with my own eyes outperform a 9500Pro on nearly everything (maybe 5% of current games with full FSAA on and max details being the exception and Im not even convinced at that).
Quite a while back I saw many reviews stating that the 9500pro beats the Ti4600 WITH AA & AF enabled. The Ti4600 beats the 9500pro WITHOUT AA & AF enabled.Quote:

Dont know I just glanced over the benchmarks at Anandtech and theyve got the 4600 beating the 9500Pro on all benchmarks with and without FSAA except for one.Quote:

Not that it matters really I just thought Id mention the 4600 was in the wrong place in the line up. :cool:
Yes, I was basing it on FSAA and AA and AF and all that other good stuff.
I would edit it and put pro on the 9500, 9600 and ultra on the 5600. I believe the 4200 does better then the non pro ones.
Please don't be offended. :p I just don't think 4600 is beating the 9500Pro. Those benchmarks were tested back in Nov. 2002 with the Cat 2.4. I think with the newest Cat (3.4) the situation will be different. :) Don't even mention 9500 Pro is a DirectX 9.0 card. The gap will only become wider and larger. :cool:Quote:

The 9500pro is a good performer, its a shame ATI discontinued it.
Well, market gimmick~ :(
