Hi Boyz and Girls.
Hope you all had a good xmas.
Have just read the article on the Asus 9600xt/tvd and have a couple of questions.
Firstly is this card better then the one I currently have?
I know that the clock speeds are lower then expected on my card, but no matter how much I try to overclock, the damn thing aint interetsed!!! Artifacts and glitchs galore.
I have run the card on 3dMark2001SE and get a score of 13700ish (after what minimal tweacking my card will allow!)
Having looked at the scores for the 9600xt/tvd they look better even before overclocking has commenced.
Secondly, I want to start putting my camcorder footage onto DVD so if I bought this card will this enable me to transfer the film from my camcorder onto a dvd (with the purchase of a dvd burner obviously)?
Thirdly, can some please explain how the GPU and Core memory Mhz ratings work? If my card is running at 263MHZ (GPU/Memory), then why is the 9600xt/tvd only slightly faster on the 3dMark2001SE scores then mine (given that the GPU runs at 500Mhz and the Memory at 600Mhz)?
Thanks for your help

Nothing is interesting in the graphics card market at the moment so hold onto that winner and keep on waiting for the next big thing™
