He wants an AIW though.

A 9700 AIW is faster than the 9600XT, since the 9600 only has half the pipelines and a narrower ram bus.  A small OC on the 9700 (or default on 9700 pro) easily beats a 9600 clocked at XT speeds, which are like 2x as high.

Afterall, my 9700 normal would clock to 400MHz (not stabe w/o extra cooling)--12MHz shy of 9800XT clock speeds.  The XT has 1/2 the pipes and is 500MHz.


Way to dis may card man.  :cry:  Sheesh.
XT will probably cheaper atlease.

I was just telling him that it makes a big difference to get away from 9000/9200/9600

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Protewhatever my butt.  If you don't run a DX9 card, it doesn't matter!

I think its a better idea to skip the $150 mid range and spend an extra $50.  You just cant go wrong with a Radeon 9800 Pro right now.  The extra 4 pixel pipelines make all the difference.
