I'm deciding on a new video card. It's between the ATI Radeon 9550, 8X AGP 256MB, and the 9600XT, 8X AGP 256MB. There is approximately a $100USD difference in price between these two cards where I shop.

Is there a noticeable difference betwwen these two cards?

If so, is the difference worth an extra $100USD?

:confused:

I'm using my computer for home business, EBAY, digital photos, and I play one game, Battles In Normandy by Matrix Games.
 
$129.99 for 9550

$219.99 for 9600XT

this is at Fry's Electronics. I've found the 9600Xt for much less online, but have already purchased the 9550 from Fry's. I can return it to upgrade to the 9600XT if I absolutely want to, as I have not touched the box yet. I want to make sure I have exactly what I want before putting everything together.

Thanks for your help!
 
OK.... I guess I'll just keep the Radeon 9550, or return it to upgrade to a GeForce 6600GT. I'm not too keen on spending more money, and don't like going to Fry's!

For my purposes, if you were me, would you keep the 9550, or go get the 6600GT($239.99) for an additional $110?

For your purposes, I'd keep the 9550 (because you dont play many games)
