1.XFX Fx 5700 128 MB 128 bit agp 8x
2.XFX 6200 128 MB 128 bit. agp 8x
3.Asus Rdeon 9600 128bit 128 MB.
But I cant decide between this two.So help me choosing.
As far I know the specs of these cards are as follows........
Fx 5700 Core clock 425 Mhz
Memory Clock 600 mhz.
Memory Bandwidth 9.6 gb/s
Pixel/clock 4
Direct x Support 9.0
...
Nvidia 6200.. Core clock 300 Mhz
Memory Clock 552 mhz
Memory Bandwidth 8.83 gb/s
Pixel/clock 4
Direct x support 9.0c
ATI Radeon 9600
Core clock 325 Mhz.
Memory Clock 400 Mhz
Memory Bandwidth 9.2gb/s
Pixel /clock 4
Direct x support 9.0
Price : Fx 5700 = Rs 3100
6200 = Rs.3200.
ATi 9600 = Rs.3600
But the problem is this 6200 seems to be more feature rich than 5700 which is I think relaively powerful card. 6200 supports pixel shader 3.0 as opposed to v2.0 in 5700.. Also there will be hardware support for the upcoming windows vista UI in 6200 where fx 5700 will only give software support.6200 is also less power hungry.
On the other hand Fx 5700 is a more powerful card and a bit cheaper too.(I've seen a 5700 running NFS 2 UG @ 1024*768 with 2x AA nd 4x AF where 6200 cant even manage 800*600 with AA nd AF turned on)
I personally dont like ATi because their's driver is not as good as Nvidia nd sometimes creates problem...
So what should I choose? Plz suggest.
Plz dont post things like "increase ur budget nd get 6600" coz I cant expand my budget anymore.
Thnx in advance..
