Im looking for a video card under 160$ I see a 5700, 9600XT, 9800 pro 128bit, Im looking for the best bang for my buck.

The 9800 non-SE cards are all 256bit ... are you sure thats a Pro? If so and you meant 128MB then get the pro. If not get the 9600XT (unless thats a 5700U at which point its an even tossup)

Ok thx yeah that 9800 pro EZ is kinda decieving it is a 128 bit istead of a 256 so it must be vamped up SE http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-278&depa=1 So no im just gona compare the 9600 XT vs the 5700U thx for the help.

Well its come down to the final 3 after the difficult qualifying trails. (Olympics have been awesome)
I really pondering on this 9800 SE 128mb 256bit. The long term goal being to softmod it. It would be very cool to get this and turn it into a pro. The 5700U and 9600XT are a toss up any suggestions. Im really relying on neweggs reputation for speedy delivery im off to college wednesday.

so it must be vamped up SE

SE's come in both 128bit and 256bit models

The 5700U and 9600XT are a toss up any suggestions

They are about on par ... go with the cheaper one.

id go for the 9600XT, if its not too much, mayb u would save for a 9800 pro or if u R PATIENT, get a 9800 XT but depends on wat u use it for, if u use it for like gaming or some sort, 9600 XT or 5700U is good enough, but i like 9600XT more than the 5700XT so its up to u

You can always wait for the 6600s They'll be a nice sweet spot for the 150-250 crowd
