Which of them is the best and which of them has best price/performance???
Prices are in local currency.
 
I cant buy on the net. I'm in Lithuania, Europe. Prices are in local currency. conversion rate is 2.877. 2.877 in the list equals 1 american $
 
go for the best price 9600 PRO, 9600XT, or 5700 ULTRA you can find. stay away from the 9800SE and anything below 9600, or below 5700 for nvidia.

Actually, all this is listed in the graphics card buyers guide sticky
