9600GT vs X1900XTX, initial results.

[Lanz]

I've vowed not to spend more than about £100 now on GPUs, so finally something in that price range has come along that is good enough to replace the old x1900.

Just thought some of you might find this interesting.

I was going try pick up a secondhand x1900xt-x for my second system...But i didn't think they were that slow compared to today cards...

Looks like am going to to have to spend a little more on a faster GPU card then a secondhand x1900xt-x goes for...

Brilliant, I'm looking for a new card, and aiming for £100 or so, I've been looking at the 9600GT, and have an X1900XT now, this gives me a great idea of what to expect!

For £60ish, you still cant beat a 2nd hand X1900XT, as tbh, it played fine at 1680x1050 (HIGH) on everything recently but Crysis. And that Crysis flyby demo really doesn't give you a fare indication of how the game actually plays.

But overall, once i've overclocked the 9600GT, it'll probably be around twice as fast.

But i be playing at 1080p (1920x1080)...So i guess am going need something a little faster...

Be good to hear what yours clocks to, had mine to 700/2000 so far
