Hey i need an opinion from u guys.
I got a Radeon 9500 Pro but I always get the urge to get a 9700 non-pro for better performence.
The only difference is the 256 bit bus memory right? If that is how big will the increase be from my 9500 Pro.
I play games like C&C Generals, CS, Wolfenstein, NHL 2003, FIFA 2003, Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, and splinter cell.
in C&C Generals, sometimes it freezes for like a second and gets back on track.Wolfenstein, CS, NHL, and FIFA my card handles fine but in Splinter Cell i get low fps and its slow. For Metal Gear Solid 2 I'm waiting for the patch because of the problem with ATI cards.
But anyway is the 9700 non-pro worth it??? Maybe I'll return the card and pay the difference. My Radeon cost me $300 Canadian, so the 9700 non-pro should cost $350-370 canadian I'm not sure. Can any1 help me on the price?
Also I noticed ATI doesn't make the 9700 non-pro. So i got the options of Saphire, FIC, and powercolor. Honestly I don't like saphires fan it looks cheap and to round. I prefere the orignal HSF from ATI. I think the Saphire 9700 non-pro OEM is red and comes with the ATI pan does it not?
Well here my system and some1 plz tell me if it will make a difference
