9700pro. I wouldnt get the fx for the noise alone. They are very, very loud and the performance is only marginally better.

Best buy had a $100 rebate on the 9700 pro too, but that was off their insane retail price of $400. Look at newegg.com for the best prices from a quality site.

well they SAID that the prototype was louder, and that the final would be less noisy.... but ill believe it when i see it...

If you can get a good deal on the FX, go for it. otherwise, 9700 is the way to go.

i would disagree, because pcworld.com said that ati is coming out with graphics cards that will blow away the FX

Yes, but not for another six months. That's why I said if you have the money.

yea, if ur planning on buying it right now, FX all the way

well then, i guess fx it is.

now i wait for it to come....

o shit, henderson or las vegas area? are u in high school?

o yeah do u have AIM? and one more thing about the 9700, can someone please list their settings and their computer hadware if u have the 9700 because i would like to know wtf was wrong with mine. was it cuz i only had 4x AGP (KT333 from soyo...ulta dragon platnium edition)? i really want to know y i did so shitty with an awesome card. well i am buyin the fx when it comes out to see how well it does. if it sucks ima take it back just use my 4600 until a newer card comes out.

4x is fine, in fact ive seen some tests that show 4x is better than 8x

then wtf =|? lol

IF you look at the benchmarks at tomshardware i think it is you will see the FX on AMD puts the 9700 into the dirt

reich, i have aim, usually not on it but... ill pm you it

i live in northwest las vegas near best in the west shopping center, kinda near cimmaron.

I have now totally changed my opinion on the GF FX. My friend did a benchmark test with it last night, and found out that the only thing the FX beat the RADEON in was the 3DMark2003. In Quake 3, Jedi Outcast, Serious Sam, and Adobe Illustrator, the RADEON 9700 Pro preformed faster.

Go with the RADEON (I can't believe Im supporting ATI) cry:

i ve always had ati cards.
