POINT OF VIEW 5900 XT 128MB AND SAPPHIRE 9600 XT 128MB @ DriverHeaven

Published by

A few months ago we reviewed the Geforce FX 5700 Ultra, at the time it was Nvidia?s direct competitor to the Radeon 9600XT. At that time we were one of the few websites to suggest that the 9600XT was the better card and that the 5700Ultra just wasn?t quite good enough. Today we have our first look at the 5900XT, Nvidia?s new challenger for the mainstream market. Retailing at £170/$200 which is just above the 9600XT at £140 and the 9800 at £200 it should make a very interesting product. We also have a look at Sapphires 9600XT, Sapphire is my number one choice of powered by ATI products and I?m very interested to see how their card stacks up against the 5900XT.
