Hi thereHere in New Zealand Video cards cost an arm and a leg and I have between $400 and maybe $600 to spare on a decent CardMy present card is a GF2MX 400 64 mb so as you can see probably whatever I get will be a great boostI have done much homework on reviews and tried carefully to decipher and pick through the very ingageing threads on Nvidia Vs RadeonI have been copying and pasting the crucial bits to a Document to help me weigh up the answerBasicaly Price wise and DX9 compliant I can get GForceFX 5600 basic card 128 mb $449.96Radeon 9600 Pro 128 mb $479.95Radeon 9800 SE $420.00$400-$600 bucks is still hard earned money to me and am not likely to be in the hunt for another card for a while so I would greatly appreciate some main pointers that present users are experiencing from both camps if a few can sum up the best and worst of both cards It will go a long way to helping a decisionI also use my computer for 3D Graphics and CadAlso can the average simmer tell the difference between the cards like the issue with AA alpha textures [is there some screen shots of the same scene using the two cards so one might make a visual judgement to see if it really makes that much differenceIn much appreciation of the forthcoming replys as I know some people may be feeling a tad worn out by all this Video businessKind RegardsGregNew Zealandhttp://nzcoaster.kiwiclub.com
