| 236032 | 2004-05-13 08:31:00 | well personally i would wait a month or so for the new cards, and then probably buy a 5900 ultra or 5950 when the price drops. but thats just me i have had nothing but bad experiences from every ati card i have ever used |

| 236033 | 2004-05-13 22:18:00 | it be near impossiable to get a 9700pro now but the 9800pro are readily avaliable, i think the cheapest pricespy has is about $460ish, worth considering if your willing to pay $400. Im sure the Bravo can be had for under $400 if you shop around, have a look for the Gexcube Extreme edition its the same thing with faster ram. It should be cheaper than powercolour. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 236034 | 2004-05-14 04:47:00 | Pete, what do you reckon the prices will drop by as soon as the Radeon X800 and Geforce 6800 series get to NZ???? | kiki (762) | ||
| 236035 | 2004-05-14 05:10:00 | Prices are as low as they will go,the reserves of the existing cards will soon be depleted. | metla (154) | ||
| 236036 | 2004-05-14 06:17:00 | if we're lucky we might see the Radeon 9800pro come down to $400 but i really really doubt it. In the US the Radeon 9800pro is selling for around the $200 US mark, so taking into account the exchange rate i personally feel we are being swindled. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 236037 | 2004-05-14 09:37:00 | What would be your pick then if you had around $300 ??? | kiki (762) | ||
| 236038 | 2004-05-14 22:15:00 | I dont think you could go wrong with a stock standard 9600XT, it will beat any nVidia offering at the same price. I wouldnt worry about Powercolour Bravo its not really worth the extra money. Just go to pricespy and find the cheapest card near you. Dont worry about brand as they are all the same card underneath with different HSF on top (althought stay away from Triplex). www.pricespy.co.nz |

| 236039 | 2004-05-15 05:35:00 | Hi have a standard 9600XT 256mb (actually - i think its the Lite version) My pc is: AMD XP 1800+ 768mb DDR RAM AGP 8x for the vid card i guess thats all the important stuff - but i can play all the latest games (so far) no probs I played CoD with all the settings and resoultion maxed out. I have teh UT 2k4 demo - can put those settings up high - no probs I can play BF:V with medium settings and its normal - if i max them out - i get quite choppy gameplay. And i reckon a new CPU would help this anyway. hope that helps |

| 236040 | 2004-05-15 07:13:00 | If I had a 4x AGP slot and put one of these newer cards in it, like a 9600xt am I going to see much performance decrease from not having 8x AGP? I remember reading an article a few weeks ago how having an 8x AGP slot only provides a few more FPS than 4x. That sound about right? |

| 236041 | 2004-05-15 07:33:00 | Yeah your right your wont notice a difference really, just make sure that your card is backwards compatiable, sometimes the voltages dont match up | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
