Howdy folks

Just curious...

Looking to upgrade the vid card on an older system. Don't wanna dump a great amount of money into it or anything, but trying to decide on either an MSI GeForce FX 5500 or a Asus Radeon 9600 Pro. I wanna hear both the pros and cons on these two cards (or even reasonable substitutes, no more cash though please ^_^).

Thoughts?

I personally liked the Radeon's over the FX Geforce cards. I didnt have those models per say but i had a FX5200 and a Radeon 9200 and the radeon was tons better both color wise and performance. I also have a 9800 im happy with.

Radeon does have better quality, BUT if you arent someone who is looking for every single difference between a Geforce and a Radeon you wont really see a difference. If you just want a good card that can do everything you need it to do, then FX cards arent any worse then Radeon and you can buy cheaper Geforce Cards then you can Radeon. Then again its easier to find fixes and updates for Geforce then Radeon...... I WANT VOODOO BACK!
