I´m confused with choosing graphics card.
I want to play World of Warcraft. I ordered the game and I want to upgrade my video card. I put two graphics card´s specs next to each other so I can show you my confusion.
1.Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 XT
Core Clock: 390 MHz
Memory Type: 128 MB DDR
Memory Clock: 680 MHz DDR
Memory Interface: 256 bit
RAMDAC: 400 MHz
Bus Type: AGP 8X / 4X / 2X

2. GPU: ATI RADEON™ 9600 XT
Core Clock: 500 MHz
Memory Clock: 600 MHz
Memoria: 256 MB DDR
Bus: 128 bits
AGP 8x / 4x

The confusion is: should I choose the card with the highest speeds, the highest memory or the highest memory interface???
And this is not a contest between ATI and nVidia. Help is apreciated ! :)

Personally I would go with the ATI 9600 XT. But that is just my opinion.

If you have to chose between the two, I'd say the fx5900 as it is the fastest out of the two.

However, the new 6600 is on the market which owns all of them, i'd go with that atm.

Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb/ 4.12
AMD Barton 2800 @ 2.3ghz
Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe
512 DDRAM PC2700 @ 360mhz
