I just exchanged an FX 5200 Ultra for a 9600 pro and i gotta say the 9600
pro OWNS the 5200 Ultra. My 3DMark03 score went up by over 1200 points for a
$30.00 price difference. I think i'm an ATI believer now...

Thats all.
 
Hardly surprising as the 5200 isnt meant to compete with the 9600 - I guess if I
bought a FX58/5900/Ultra I would say it "owns" the 9600pro and I am now a "total
nVidia convert" - or better still my new Matrox Parhelia "owns" my old ATI Rage
16Mb - I'm a Matrox believer now.......

Sorry to sound antagonistic but these sort of comments really wind me up -
compare like with like.
 
Admittedly his comparison isn't exactly fair, but then 'fair' is price for
price comparison, and the 9600 is cheaper than the FX5600. The Radeon
9000/9100/9200 are also cheaper than the FX5200. And finally the 9800 is
cheaper than the FX5900.

All of which has nothing to do with the OP comparing a 5200 to a 9600.

Guys, Guys, Guys
I understand your points that the 5200 Ultra is considered an "entry level"
board and the 9600 pro is a midlevel board so its kind of an unfair
comparison. My only point in the post was that i was surprised the $30.00
upgrade to the 9600 Pro produced such a large increase in performance over
the 5200 Ultra. My hope was that people looking at purchasing a 9600 might
appreciate my comparison.
Thats all...
