    Question 9600pro or 9700np?

    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

    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!

    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

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

    just depends on how much you need the $30.

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