I'm considering buying a new mid range graphics card for my PC, and have found these 2 cards to be both of the same value, yet I am unsure of which is better, as I know the it comes down to more than just how many MB it has.
So these are my options.
ATI Radeon 9600XT with 128MB
http://www.asus.com/products/vga/r9600xt/overview.htm
Or
NVidia 5700 with 256MB
http://www.asus.com/products/vga/v9570td/overview.htm
The exact products can be seen at the above links.
And having read the specs at those wbsites, it seems that the ATI's engine and memory clock run at slightly higher speeds.
ATI 500 and 600MHz compared to NVidia 425 and 500MHz
I'm using Windows XP, and my system that will run the graphics card, will be a P4 3.0GHz, with 1024MB RAM.
So which should I get? And any plus's and minus's between the 2 would be helpful.
Thanks.
