Cost vs. Effectiveness:

When you talk about cost vs. effectiveness you have to take your mind off of the politics, the spec sheets, and put yourself into a real-world situation. If you're like me, in college and broke, you probably aren't very eager to drop $400-$500 on a video card. Unless your constantly buying the newest games and running them at insane resolutions, you can usually buy the cheaper card and still get amazing performance by tweaking a few settings and/or by over-clocking (Muahah). We will be taking a look at the performance of the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, the MSI FX5600, and the FIC A96P (9600 Pro). I've chosen these 2 cards because I feel they are the most comparable cards to the A96P in terms of cost and performance. The price difference between the A96P and the 9700 is $81, while the difference between the A96P and the FX5600 is only $8. We'll soon find out if the extra money is worth it.
