| 306536 | 2004-12-21 23:52:00 | Unlikely. If it is an ultra it would say so on the packageing. I think so too. Plus, according to the info I see on Price Spy listings, the Ultra version made by Gigabyte has a 550Mhz core. Gigabyte R9600XT 128MB ULTRA 550MHz core |

| 306537 | 2004-12-22 00:34:00 | That is not the Ultra version, that is the standard 9600XT flavor. I believe the card you are looking for is this one (tw.giga-byte.com) hope that helps you a bit more cheers chiefnz |

| 306538 | 2004-12-22 04:14:00 | so the only difference between the two cards is the 50mhz core speed difference - is it really worth spending the xtra to just have 50mhz more | noone (22) | ||
| 306539 | 2004-12-23 07:40:00 | Well to be perfectly honest you're better off trying to get a Radeon 9800 Pro, does quite a bit better than the 9600XT ultra. Another option may also be to wait a little bit longer and see if any of the newer x600 or x800 cards start going for a lower price. There's no real point buying the 9600XT Ultra, but that also depends on what you do with your PC, I'm assuming you're a bit of a gamer, if that's true then I'd definitely hold on to my pennies if I were you and get a 9800 Pro, X600 or X800 card. cheers chiefnz |

| 306540 | 2004-12-23 10:37:00 | im on AGP and with my current searchings there isnt a agp 8x version of the x600/800. The 9800Pro looks good so i might save up another $100 and get it | noone (22) | ||
| 306541 | 2004-12-23 10:46:00 | There is an AGP version of both the X600 and X800. | ~sy~ (95) | ||
| 306542 | 2004-12-23 10:50:00 | oh yes sorry bout that what i was meant to say is IM NOT SPENDING $800 ON A GRAPHICS CARD WHEN I NEED A NEW PC AT THE END OF THE YEAR - please forgive me for my sudden burst of anger | noone (22) | ||
