Is the X300 one-up from the 9600?

Ok, firstly I already know what LMAO means thanks.
Secondly, I didnt ask for an opinon of the AMAZING MOH:PA game.
Thirdly, "And if you get the "right" 9600 or pro you can push it to 9600xt levels or more" makes no sense in english.
And lastly, we are not all american, I dont use bucks.


I just want to know what the best card would be the chose, its alot of money at hand.
Which would be better for my computer specs (which I posted above), the 9600 with 256mb or the X300 with 128mb???

I have till this afternoon to decide, :thumbup:

WTF is with you man?? These guys are trying to help you but you just insult them! I don't like that! It's gonna mark you as an asshole if you continue like that. Just so you know

Where was the insult?

*cough* And the topic goes off track....

Don’t waste your time here when you could be investigating.
You do not give enough information for me to
really give an educated answer. Plus I’m not well read on the X300.

With the 9600 I’ll guess that it has a 128-bit memory interface.
With the X300 is it 64-bit, or 128-bit memory interface?
And just to make sure are we talking about the X300 and not the X300 SE?
Do you have a link to a Dell PC page for us to look at?
You can over clock (push) the X300 very well also-if you know how.

Even if the X300 is slightly better (?) you still cannot go wrong with
the 9600.
I don’t know what the future holds-only at some point you may even find some money to upgrade as prices drop.
With this in mind you may want to think of the 9800 Pro or XT AGP cards or X600
PCI-E card or…, the cost of these in the future and what they bring.

Oh and you did not miss the insult-Kacperski insulted MOH:PA.
I’m American and I don’t use bucks, so whats your point.
Is the Dell being purchased with currency?

1. You asked...
2.You wanted to play good games, showing moh:pa as an example...face the reality
3. Do you know what OC means?...What the maker gives is not all you can get, you can O(ver)C(lock) it, softmod (not 9600)it, flash it. There are many possibilities....
4. $ is only an example, it's easiest to use USD here, anyone can calc it to his currency...

I would go with the 9600XT.

The x300 and the 9600 are the same cards.

The only differance is in the Manufacturing Process:

X300 Manufactured in 0.11 micron ths for being a PCI-E card.
9600 Manufactured in 0.13 micron ths for being a AGP card.

X300 is using RV370 (Architecture) chip.
9600 is using RV350/RV360 (Architecture) chip.

That means, not much.

Search for some X300 reviews or benchmarks.
As for the 9600 is a good card. (IF you OC it)

You better look here.

What I will be stating is that if you are moving to the new Intel LGA775 specification or the new Athlon64 PCI Express motherboard and you just need a basic 2D videocard, the X300 based alternatives on the market will make you more than happy. If you are even considering gaming, do yourself a favor and upgrade to an X600 if you want some decent playable..

@Knut both cards (X300 & 9600) >(NOT se/xt/pro) has 128-bit. (MBW)

Over all i think the 9600 is better, although you may find a good version of the X300 around as well. (doubt it)

BTW, the x300 came to replace the 9200

lol. This is so funny. Get the Ati Radeon 8500!. It ownz! it will play ANY game today!. Dear god,hes already orderd. And what has he got? well none other than a 9200....

Shut up elliot (psycho pigeon), stop being gay.

Anyway, I am getting this one >>>> http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...?ProductID=5543 Any good?

Whats the difference between Pros and XTs?

XT, Better, Faster, More expensive
