Which one would you say is better? I'm looking at cards around £70ish AGP.

I bought this card to replace my RADEON 8500, plus I didn’t really want to spend loads of money on a 9800. So when I heard bout the XT's I investigated and eventually bought one. Plugged it in and downloaded the latest drivers and away I went! Benchmarked it first of all and got 30000 on aqua mark and 3900 on 3d mark 2003. Runs perfectly on 1280X1024 with absolutely no problems I seriously recommend this card to anyone that wants a great PC for a great price. Truly stunning card!

Up your budget and get a 9800pro for around £80, there twice the card the 9600XT is, so theres no point in getting one of them when you only need £10-£20 more for MUCH better performance.

It literally is twice the card - proved in benchmarks.

you can pick up a 9800Pro for about £85 and it is alot better than the 9600XT

The 9600XT is the better card out of the two listed but as others have said if you can stretch your budget just a little more, the 9800 Pro is a whole lot more card and will do you proud.
