New Card?

[muc0n]

Which of these cards would be better to get or would just the normal ati card be better. i know that gigacube cards are not supposed to be good but this one seems not to be that bad with the 2.5ns memory, but is it worth the few extra dollars that it cost compared to the normal ati card.

Or if there are any better cards in this price range i would like to knwo about them. im not married to getting a radeon 9600pro, it just seems like it has the best price/performance ratio of all cards out right now. im not planning on buying a card for probably 1-2 months from now so i know the prices may change by then. thanks for the help.

when i got my radeon i went with the saphire card

its identical to the ATI made card(except it has a different heatsink) but is cheaper because they dont really bundle any software with it

so is best value for money unless you want to get games with the card

ya ive always heard gigacube sucks but i looked at the cards stats before i saw the manufacturer and it didnt seem that bad. any reason in particular that gigacube sucks, ive never owned any card from them.
