Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 12:17 AM

i can get a 5600 for 195 cad!! a 9600 for 200 whats better??

also, what does 5600 lack from the 9600 and which is more overclockable..i need to know differences plz

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 12:24 AM

The 9600 Pro runs 50/100MHz slower then the 5600 Ultra and still beats it in a lot of stuff, plus the 9600 Pro is more overclockable then the 5600 Ultra.

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 12:25 AM

dude..im talkin bout the 5600 and 9600 not pro or ultra..

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 12:27 AM

Oh ok well the 9600 is better then the 5600, lol, the 9600 stocks is 325/200 and the 5600 is 275/200 I think. And the 9600 overclocks past 400MHz, not sure about the 5600.

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 12:31 AM

ok,

lol ur helpin alot so i got uno more question

see..ncix got the ti4200 from MSI with vivo and dvi for 188!!

so im thinkin should i get the ti4200 over 9600 and 5600? i can get 9600 for 200 bux cad..

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 12:34 AM

hmm, Im not sure actually, do you want pure power or image quality (AA/AF)?

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 12:39 AM

i want somethin that will last long n stuff..but its good to have power so that new games dont lag

always image quality come second, performance is always first :P

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 12:41 AM

Get the 9600, i think its better.

~~En717yOwnZ~~ · Aug 26, 2003, 12:53 AM

9600 for sure, just add some cooling and clock it to the pro speeds. (if possible has anyone tried?)

btw 200 should get u a Made by ATI 9600 pro :| why arent u getting the pro? its worth the extra travel time or whatever ur case maybe.

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 01:10 AM

well im pissed..i swear i feel like making a company that imports cards from the states and sells em here cuz im sick and tired of these prices!! some cards on the states are 50% LOWER than the cards found here..im not buying a 5600 ultra for 300 crummy cad dollars..50% of the nvidia cards arent even available here to Canada..like the 5600P Turbo from Albatron I DONT SEE IT!! WHERE THE HELL IS IT?!

so..heres what i want, a Albatron GeForce FX5600P Turbo, if you guys in the states know where to get it please ask them if they are willing to ship to Canada, cuz i know their cheap..right now i know a place i can get a geforce fx 5600 for only 120 u.s.

~~En717yOwnZ~~ · Aug 26, 2003, 01:18 AM

um have u considered buying it off the internet? shipping could be a bitch but it wont cost 300.

btw thats just another reason why america rulez, anyone that says different is a nazi.

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 01:29 AM

Umm why are you not listening to us? 9600 nps and pro are everywhere in canada. why are you getting the 5600? Its probably the weakest card in the FX line (well besides the 5800 :P).

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 01:49 AM

dude, the Albatron 5600P Turbo is VERY GOOD and actually shows a difference from other cards and beats the ti4200 for sure..i dont say america sux, i think its alot better in economy than Canada..tho i detest the government system..but who cares bout that, im here to ask where i can get a 5600P Turbo

on the Internet i know a few good sites that sell good geforce cards at CHEAP prices but they dont ship here! i cant beg upon them...i dunno what to do :S

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 01:58 AM

O ok, I was under the immpression all 5600s sucked, lol.

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 02:09 AM

man,

im gonna contact the company for wholesale!! LOL and see wtf happens, fuckin pissed...i cant even find the turbo in pricewatch...either it must be really expensive or those who distribute their cards are uterly blind

Wow look .. my German fatigues are out of date now

Hey look guys .. can we tone it down a bit ??

~~craig588~~ · Aug 26, 2003, 02:50 AM

Its the 5200 thats crap, the 5600 is like a GF4 with DX 9 support. Its worse than the r9500pro, better than the r9500np and about equal to the r9600np/pro.I would still go with the r9500pro, as its very close to the r9700pro other than half of the memory bandwidth.

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 03:02 AM

U should go on MSN, WHy doesnt it work? Cnan you try and make a new account?

Max Powerz · Aug 26, 2003, 04:23 AM

lol, yea.

Majin-Vegeta · Aug 26, 2003, 05:34 PM

lol

dude ultra dont suck, if you get the Chaintech FX-71 its overclockable to the 5900 ultra or the Chaintech FX-61 which can be overclocked to the 5900

atleast from what ive heard

Warpy · Sep 22, 2003, 03:44 AM

or you could buy my FX5900.

$659.00 (Australian $$)

The card is 8weeks old and bought for $800.00

Max Powerz · Sep 22, 2003, 08:05 PM

or you couldent

Face it, for now, nVidias dead. Long live ATI!

spicedog · Oct 3, 2003, 12:24 AM

Radeon 9200 would be the least possible you want. It will still allow you to do DX9 with hardware support, not using software/cpu emulation.
