9600pro or 9700np?

[rashio]

hi,
i was wondering which would be the better graphics card to get?
i can get the 9700np for about 30 pound more, but is it worth it?
i mean which will overclock better the 9600pro or the 9700np?
i heard somewhere that u can get a software mod for tge 9700np and change it in to a 9700pro? is this true beause if so should i forget the 9600pro and get the 9700np?

thanks for your help

oh yeah i have about 180 to spend on a card so if this is any others, i am open to suggestions :D

I would go for the 9700non-pro.

To turn it into a 9700pro you just have to overclock it to 9700pro clock speeds.

I'd defenitly go for the 9700 non pro to. It's without a doubt the best buy for your budget.

Maybe you could find a shop in the Netherlands which ships to the UK, Club3D R9700's are being sold for as low as £135!

[rashio]

do u have a site where i could look at these 9700np?

[rashio]

i have been able to find a 9700np for about 145 pounds which is really cheap but the card is made by powercolor, does this make a difference because i have heard some bad things about them?
or should i just stick with the sapphire 9700np which is 179 pounds?

thanks for your help :D

I agree, thats what i would get.

9700np, no doubt about it.

[rashio]

ok so i will get the 9700np as you lot have recommended, but i am stuck on wheather to get the powercolor or the sapphire which is £30 (roughly) difference, so which do i get?
i want to try to OC the card as well, so which 1?

[sandman]

I'd get the sapphire then. They seem to overclock really well.

just depends on how much you need the $30.

Yea, ive loved every sapphire card ive had.

Sapphire seem a more "respectable" make than powercolour. Id check to see what quality the RAM is on each cards before deciding.
