Video Card Help

[APOC7241]

I am purchasing a new video card soon and am having trouble deciding between the Radeon 9700 and the new GForce FX 5600. Any suggestions on which one to get? I'm leaning towards the GForce because of the double memory. Thanks

9700 is faster than the old 5600, not sure about the new revision of the 5600 tho.

I think the Radeon 9700Pro is a better deal.

Which FX5600 ya looking at? They'll prolly drop in price with the 5900ultra comming out

you can see that the 9500 did better than FX 5600
guess what 9700 will do to FX 5600

i did rather get a $100 ti4200 card, it does better than FX 5600 under normal conditions (1024x768 - Maximum Detail)
