Hey guys,
I was going to buy one of the following cards. Which card do you think is better? EVGA 9500 GT 1GB DDR2: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...742&CatId=3669 XFX 9500 GT 512MB DDR3: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...526&CatId=1826 Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

What's your usage?
Do you game? Without knowing what it's for, I'd say the XFX one, as it's a better brand, the 512MB v 1GB wont matter unless you do anything specific really. I don't game myself, so I'm not sure, but I don't think it really makes much difference even for gaming. However you might want to consider a different card altogether, have you read Carbon's parts thread? Because the 9500 gets a 0/10 from him, for price vs performance. How about the 4670? There's one here and the 4670 is around the same price mark as the 9500, but Carbon gives it a 5/10 rather than 0! The one I linked is from Asus, theres also one from Gigabyte, but it's a bit more expensive. Avoid the other ones though, they're from tackier brands.

They're both exceptionally poor cards for gaming and not worth the money. But you should get the DDR3 variant if you really have to get one. $95 can almost buy you a 4850 or 4830 which are a huge jump over that 9500GT.
