Im going to purchase a new video card tomorrow and I cant decide which do buy, ATI Radeon 9700pro ($300) or the Radeon 9800 pro ($400). I mostly play games but I also do 3d work.
I was planing on getting the 9700pro but from what Im seeing is that they are trying to phase it out. Like on ATI's site the 9700pro is in the "Legacy" list of graphics cards with all the old cards. Are they phasing out the 9700pro? Also I cant find any merchants that sell 9700pro that are made by ATI, there all made by other manufactuers.
So what I was really wondering is whats the better value between the two (Price vs. Performance)? Or Should I just spend another $100 and get the best video card around.
Thank you very much!
