9800-se or 9600 pro 256 meg?

[hitman827]

I have decided to go for a lower end video card and now my choices have come to 9800-se (non-pro?) or the 9600 pro 256 meg, Im getting a new comp and i Know the 9800 cost more but what would be the better overall choice? Could anyone give me some info?

9800 non-pro.

I know there is a BIOS for the 9800 SE that you can flash it to a 9800 Pro, but I have no clue about the 9800 Non Pro. I'd go with the SE.

isnt the SE the MX card of the 9800 series

Basically, yes. And besides that, the 256MB 9600 Pro is not worth it...Go with the 128. It isn't fast enough to really take advantage of the extra memory, and in some cases it may be slower as it is more memory to manage (at least this was the case in some instances on the 9800 pro, and since the 9600 is slower, it follows that it should be the same). Try and swing a 9700 NP, 9700 Pro, or 9800 NP...If not, just do the 9600 Pro 128MB.
