Here's what a review at amdmb.com said:
| Quote: | If you don't care about image quality and looking for well-rounded performance, then the FX5700 Ultra is your choice. The FX5700 Ultra may not be the fastest out there and may mean you will need to compromise a little on details, but at least it plays current games well. Performance was decent and definitely an improvement over previous NVIDIA models. However, as DirectX games get more complex, you may find the FX5700 Ultra insufficient for your gaming. In this respect, the Radeon 9600XT may be better value.
If you want top DirectX performance with superior image quality, then get the Radeon 9600XT. It has the best chance of playing games with all the details and leaving room to spare. OpenGL performance is a bit slow and you'll definitely be adjusting your details to lower settings unfortunately. If the Radeon's OpenGL performance were better, then there would be no contest and this card would be the obvious winner. But nothing in life is simple, is it?  However, even with the slower OpenGL performance, I think the Radeon 9600XT, is better value because of the performance in and dominance of DirectX. This allows you to keep the card for longer without wanting to upgrade. |
