my friend is in the line for a good midrange graphics card. the 5900SE/XT doesnt seem to be around yet so he's thinking between the 5700ultra and the 9600XT
anyone have a good recommendation between these? and a preference for manufacturer?
cheers

Currently I have a preference for ATi as they don't slack on the pixel shader support etc...
Without knowing a great deal currently about the 5700u I would out if nature recommend the 9600XT anyway. It certainly appears as if the ATi core will last you a little longer with the upcoming titles.
why not try 9800se AIW, the price is a bit high but u got 20% chance of making it 9800pro. If not, you have the 9600XT and the AIW feature. Seems a fair bet to me
there are things that we know we know, things that we know we don't know and things that we don't know we don't know!
i got a 9600XT and love it!
NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GBA, DS, PSone, PS2, PSP, PS3 60gb, XBOX, XBOX 360, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast, PC Engine, Neo Geo CD
yeah the SE is an option but he doesn't need the AIW features. so no votes for the 5700U
i heard the 9600XT has better DX9 performance is this so?
oh and what manufactuer is the way forward?

9600XT should be fine for most of games. I just dont know the situation when DOOM 3 out
