Question: 9600xt ?

TEZC_Robban · Post by **TEZC_Robban** » 31-07-2004 18:47

Been looking for a new graphics card, nothing shiny mind you, trying to fetch something for a low price and I thought I'd give ati radeon 9600xt a try.

The page is in swedish but you should be able to make out the important stuff.

So, my real question is if the price is acceptable from this store, it goes for approx 175 euros.

Opinions, please.

Wee it's about £10 pounds more than you'd pay for it from the same store (.co.uk) over here, that's kinda odd. ^^

Couldn't you up your budget a bit more and get a 9800 pro? They're far more future proof and you can get them for 204 euros. If not, 9600 XTs are solid enough and should be able to play Doom 3 at medium, 800x600 well.

The reason for it being more expensive here depends on our sky-high taxes I guess :p and I thought about 9800 too.. but I simply can't afford it =( would that price on the swedish site be acceptable though?

For sure, the price is fine.

Hah! Taxes..damn socialists

Anyway, gg Robban, but you sure you can't go for an 9800?

solution to euro taxes on high priced items:

have someone order them for you in the US then send it to you.. shipping only costs ~$20-30 which a LOT less then your paying for the VAT. All the shipper would have to do is write the value of the product than say it was a sale with a value of $0 (they do this if you repair something to avoid duty).

Enough coins to make up for the price difference between an 9800Pro and a 9600 XT is indeed _a lot_ of coins
