5900 Ultra or 9800 Pro
Hi all,
I'm planning on getting a new GPU. I'm looking for a 128MB card for about £250 - £300 not much more. I'm ruling out the 5950 and 9800XT so the question is which to go for ??
I have a 17" flat screen but only run the resolution at 1024 X 768 (It seems people always run higher but I find the menu's etc get too small to read)
I am looking at either the Gainward 1200XPGS or the Hercules prophet 9800 Pro. I have read LOADS and LOADS on the web about the ATI having better vertex shaders (dunno what this means in the real world) but the 5900 Ultra being faster at low resolutions with AA on etc.
Anyone who has either of these cards can you help out, or can anyone just point me in a good direction. Is one REALLY the clear better GPU ?
ThanX
