  | Don't base you're judgement on that POS benchmark, there are many other proving grounds showing the true significant advantages that the 9800Pro has over FX5200. Fire up some games.  |

 | Yeah damn fine comparison there.....the best, most costly ATI product compared to the cheapest, low tech nVidia product. What did you expect to happen. Just because you were cheap when you bought the nVidia 5200 doesnt mean thats nVidia fault. Those cards arent even in the same league - Im not arguing that the 5200 is a good card, its pretty sad really but its a cheap card.

Congrats! You have just become the latest editon to the ATI Fanboy club, but you are now officially on double secret probation, as your signature hasn't been updated, and still shows you using the other evil card.

 | well, duh ati is better than nvidia in this comparison. you compare the worst nivida offering, other than the mx's with ati's crown jewel. if you compared ati and nvivida's top cards, you would see that its too close to say ati is the best.

| decided against the 5950 or the 5900XT then? BAH shame on you. Try and equal out the cards next time buddy - 5200 and the 9800 are at complete oposite ends of the scale. (btw the 5950 and 5900XT beat the 9800 on benchmarks  )

But also cost much more than the proportional gains provided... just like Pentium chips vs AMD.

| No nasty replies from me - I bought the 5900xt when it was first coming out. Damn fine card for $185 at the time - closest ATI offering that was same performance was $220. I went with what was cheaper and fit my needs - Im not nVidia loyal. Before that I had a 9600xt - wasnt too impressed with that card and it was MORE money then my 5900xt........that wont turn me against ATI though. Buy what works for you at the time and what you can afford - be it ATI or nVidia. They take turn on top anyways.........back and forth. No card is better than any other - just depends on what you need and are willing to pay for.......and what system its going in. There are good combinations and bad ones.

| I htink he is just saying he is happy with the performance. When i went from a 5200 NU to a 9600 pro i was happy as a man can get. Now, let see how happy i am when i get my hands on one of them x800's... speaking of which, anyone want to buy a kidney?
