244819 2004-06-15 09:13:00 I have a Radeon 9200 PCI 256mb ddr Gfx card in my pc.
Is a
Radeon 9600 or 9800 AGP 128mb ddr Faster/better than my pci one?

Im having an argument with my friend over this and he recons that since agp is faster, that the 128mb agp will "cane" my 256 pci

What do u guys think?

244820 2004-06-15 09:18:00 Yeh the 9600 or whatever will be faster, newer, faster chipset. The 256mb vid ram is just that. Nothing to do with speed, to an extent. MrBeef (342)
244821 2004-06-15 09:19:00 Well which one will run high graphic games better? Rpg_pro (5689)
244822 2004-06-15 09:21:00 The 9600 i'd say. But i could be talkin out my arse. MrBeef (342)

244825 2004-06-15 10:26:00 I always though that a higher number on a particular model of video card meant a faster card, eg a TI4800 is faster then a TI4200 and so on agent_24 (4330)
244826 2004-06-15 10:28:00 though if u were comparing a TI4800 with a FX5200 it may be a different story... agent_24 (4330)
244827 2004-06-15 10:33:00 from what i've heard, there is a big diff between fx and Ti.

FX is basically, Nvidias attempt to keep up with ATI

244828 2004-06-15 10:39:00 The 9200 is a very poor performing card,just about the slowest card on the market.

The 9600pro would kill it in every respect,It has a far more advanced chipset running at much higher speeds and has the agp bandwidth to use which is much faster.
