5700

9800Pro 256

of those 2 the 5700 but they are so low in price u could go to the next lvl and get a 5900 for a few bucks more.

I see they both have one attribute higher than the other.

Why is the 5700LE a better card?

The only place the 5700 really falls short is on the memory clock speed 550 mhz, to 400 mhz. But with as much vram as cards have these days, you really will not notice near as much the difference as you will with the gpu clock speeds. Get the 256mb version and it will be no contest.

And personally, I think ATI based cards are the way to go right now.

I have a chance to pick up the 5700Le pretty cheap, is why I asl. I currently have the ti4400, and am very happy with it.

how much r u gonna pay for the 5700? thats really what determines the upgrade unless u really need one?

~$75.. Is that worth the upgrade? I'm not sure yet if it will happen. I'm waiting on another person.

Now I just have to find a potential buyer for my 4400

just get some ramsinks/ new GPU fan and overclock your card.


adam

the fx series is a better card, it is dx9 compat and it also has the new engines that you need to run doom3 to look its best.

Already have 4 thermaltake sinks, and copper fan.
And it's OC'd

My card isn't DX9 compatible?

its compatable, but it doesnt have some of the 9x abilitys

Gotcha.

just me but i would just spend an extra 90 bux and buy a 5900 and be done with it for a while.

Yeah, but I found the 5700LE for cheap, and I'm wondering wether or not to jump on it.

Well that ti4400 is already a pretty nice card...not the best..but it does well..
What kinda games do you play?

i understand that but it is not worth it you can buy a 5700 new for $85, and you will just have to upgrade that in a couple of months. so just spend the extra and get the better card. you could probably find one on ebay for pretty cheap, i would go with a 5900 LX ive had one for a year and not had anyproblems with it, i can play Doom3 no probs. and they are only 180 New.
