hey guys i have 2 cards here.

 

now which one is better at stock speeds.

 

i heard the 9500pro is better because it has 8 pipes

 

but the 9600xt has better clock

 

here is my system specs:

 

AMD XP 2500+ 1.83ghz STOCK speed

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe Nforce2 BETA Bios 1011

2x512mb PC3200 DDR Sdram Samsumg STOCK speed

Premium Black mid-tower Case, 420 watt PS Okia

1/2 floppy drive

LG 4x4x24x cd burner

80GB 7200RPM ATA 100 samsumg

17" monitor relisys

56.6k PCI modem Lucen

Logitech Wireless Keyboard

Logitech Wireless Mouse Mx700

Labtec 4 speakers surround sound

 

which one should i keep, which one should i sell?

 

i decided to run my hardware at stock speeds, i have heat issues.

9500 Pro would be slightly faster i think, if you overclock it a bit it will be even faster.

 

The only sure fire way is to test them however... since they use identical drivers, just swap them out and run some benchmark like 3D Mark 2k3 or 2001SE or Aquamark.
