which is better?

[koldapu]

i'm helping a friend shop for a new graphics card (he has integrated graphics on an 865g mobo)

anyways, he wants to pay around $200

which is better? a 256mb 9600xt? or a 128mb 9800pro?

Best way to decide. Reviews of several Video Cards using games.

Radeon 9800 PRO (128 Mb)

The Radeon 9800 Pro provides a lot better performance.

aggreed the 9800 pro outperformes the 9600xt.

 

[xotix]

yup, 9800pro.

As it's already been stated, 9800 pro, but I'll just add that right now it's a great card for the money.
